so these amateurs want to go public at several billion market cap - lol

dcraig fyi...from the last week... TEHRAN: Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a new verbal attack against Israel on Wednesday, saying he believed it would soon collapse, state media reported. Ahmadinejad, who has sparked international outcry by referring to the killing of six...

you must be kidding me.... I was in Iran about 10 years ago (long time) and along the roads were posters with skull wearing fascist helmet and headline "Destroy Israel"... what a peace loving country that is...

who is talking about killing children and old women in the first place - read the link what Israel wants to do and then talk crap - because you do anyway. Have you ever been to Iran?

I used the word in a way that is being widely used (whenever you attack another country it is called an overreaction - and that goes even for US, e.g. initial attack of Afghanistan). Personally I do not think it is an overreaction to nuke them - especially when official Iran doctrine is to...

this is not that surprising at all - I do expect Israel to take some sort of action on their own - as they always did in the past anyway. They really can't wait until Iran is ready to nuke them. And it is part of their military doctrine to overreact. I believe it would ultimately increase the...

you realize that you're talking something around 500% a year... I don't belive you can make that consistently - and why wouldn't it scale up to 500k account?

spot on. Add to this a productivity increase, low rates and there is no reason for anything else than small correction in US housing... we will be out of woods within 6 months.

what do you try to say?

there is no way we will see this rally holding up - maybe 10 more bps to go if other markets remain shaky next week. Then I would definitely be a outright seller if only from fundamental perspective. Supply till the end of Feb is huge - north of $150bn with additional pressure from hikes in...

what a day today. I have somehow problems to interpret it - on such a nice data such a small move? Looks like Asians must be back and continue to bail out US from high rates...

I do not know about bonds - if the number is above 80k then bonds are going to be killed big time - this is the last possible bond bullish report before inflation in 2 weeks (and even inflation numbers are highly likely to come on bearish side). Add to that huge upcoming supply and the picture...

expectation from cme economic futures was only 80k. I agree that it is a crucial number for the next 10 days - if we get some average number we may see equities and commodities rallying a bit; otherwise who knows...

after today's capitulation I am becoming particularly bullish...

what a wise observation...sorry, what do you try to say now for a change? Make your point sharp and clear or shut up....

man - you are hopeless...

<u>I said I will not defend ETFs</u> - that's not the point of the thread! But in fact I believe that if somebody wants to see how global macro works with less vested capital then ETF may be a good testing ground. It is not for serious players though. I do not understand your post anyway...

or stay in London and you will be able to buy a house in US for GBP23k equivalent very soon.....

yeah. but when you find such an instrument then you need to take an exposure to it - smartee. That was pretty useless post Copernicus... By the way I am not sure about ETFs. In principle maybe - but in practice you need to play it with primary instruments (liquidity etc.)....

:D you obviously don't. I was unlucky enough to interview people for IB jobs for past few years (in London). Fortunately I didn't usually come into play before second or third round so I could not have met this guy... by the way that quote (about training time) must be originally coming...
