Now the question is Do I average up again? If it keeps rising, might be worth pyramiding the sh!t out of this.

I did.:)

Got lucky: went long Oil futures (Sept CL) @ $74.62. (1 contract, I'm small fish). Next thing I know, off to the races, now $78.80 or so. So I'm thinking let's double up and put a stop loss at cost, $76.71, so I'm riding on House money: moves up I win, moves down no loss. Looks brilliant, don't...

In my modest but very long experience, there is no such thing as "$X a day" in trading. The thing that will determine if you make or lose money is how far you let your winners ride and how soon you cut your losers. Especially the last one.

Nope. Accredited Investor maybe?

IBKR looks the biz. You get tight spreads (half a yen on $/yen, couldn't get tighter than this...) and great financing rates for reasonable sizes.

Funny funny. "I'm not interested in tiny forex interventions". Tons of folks long $/yen (most Hedgies) to fund investments globally saving 4% a year on funding compared to borrowing US$ ARE definitely interested in not losing in half a day a years saving on funding costs.

MoF is the one intervening, not BoJ. You can find their monthly release here: https://www.mof.go.jp/english/policy/international_policy/reference/feio/index.html Last intervention was September-October 2022 selling $ around 145. Down to 142 on Friday, I don't think they'd intervene below 145. I...

Thank you all, I'll give it a try on various periods. Need to find out how to download the portfolio daily value series from IBKR but that should be doable.

Market has been good to me lately but I get suspiciously high values. Just wondering whether they're correct.

So if you had unrealized gains, you get a tax bill. If you had unrealized losses, you don't get a chance to wait for a move back up... Note to self: Stay clear of ETNs.

What matters is GOOG can't track me. So if DDB uses GOOG, means that I'm free riding on GOOG. That's even better.

GOOG is not a search engine. GOOG is a lead generation tool. Makes money selling ads and tracking you. Haven't used it in years: Duckduckgo, Nord VPN and Firefox ad blocker. More and more folks do this.

Wrote an article back in December as how this could happen. Not sure about 90 days though lol... https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562097-million-dollar-bitcoin-here-is-how-it-can-happen

Nope. I lay better after a good trade.

Completed a Golden Cross 50/200 -i.e. Go Long-but broke below 50DMA so staying on sidelines.

Cracks in Northern Europe oftentimes preceded major crises in the past: Mid-90's, 2007-2008. "This time is different", of course.

A girl named Charlie can't do no harm.Time to play the LGBTQZWDFGH card.

Last year, Dalio was extolling the virtues of China and promoting Chinese bonds as the coming substitute to US Treasuries. In a couple of months, he will have forgotten about Vietnam and Mexico, let alone Saudi Arabia.

A bounce would be fun to watch. Basically J Po came and said "I'm gonna kick your ass, real good and for a long enough time, and it's gonna be painful". Need a resilient market to fight that back, but who knows? Rarely have I heard a central banker be so upfront, blunt and to the point. Draghi...
