Gord, they are social democracies... The countries I listed can certainly hold their own. Sure, the US spends more on military expenses that the next 23 countries on the list together -- but the US does not have super-soldiers. Just take part of a NATO exercise and you will quickly see what...

Gord, I guess you hold the Labour government to be some kind of right wing political party then.... LOL! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Party I think you are just clueless about European politics - it seems more likely... :p The countries I listed are also all nuclear powers... hello?

Gord, Ukraina, Germany, France and the UK can all pretty much hold their own. Sure - Russia is a huge neighbour - but they are not a direct threat any longer. I want to see how brainwashed you guys really are... 1. I guess you can easily list "enemies of the US"... 2. Who defined them...

Cuba has more doctors per capita than many OECD countries... Sure, they get told where to work etc - and all cows belong to the state ... They also have free dental care and medical care all their life. I wouldn't like to be Cuban though... I was there in the mid 1990s, and friendlier/safer...

You said: "And he has never voted against freedom except where he's voted against freedom." I don't get your point if you are negating your "points" in your follow up posts... Trying to imply that there is a claim that Ron Paul never has voted against freedom - and that this is false. You are...

I am not "counter trend" trading - I just do scalping and have some setups for that. Sometimes I can also get longer term trends in place, but getting the "right size" on the moves is not easy - so some sort of trailing stop would probably do me better there too. We are now seeing easily...

Has Ron Paul ever claimed that he has "never voted against freedom"... ? Or is it just you personally trying to make the point that you can "make a point when there is nothing?" Fabricating controversies, are you?:p

I am well familiar with the strategies that I know with certainty are working well for me - and I also know the conditions under which they work. That is why I am not trading right now... I am continuously looking, and "testing" some scalps now and then - but today that was only one scalp so...

Hahahaha ... you max out on the "bullshit-o-meter" here. The fact is that he has been ACCUSED by political opponents for being racist - from newsletters associated with him. These newsletters talked against crimes typical problems in areas and associated with ethnicity, as well as pointing...

Conditions are always changing in the markets - it is just the pace and little coherency to the current conditions that make it difficult now. I can go for 5-10 pip scalps, but that is very tiring... The risk is also the very strong backlash/retrace, once a wave has hit. That makes any...

So - you are saying/implying it is all racist? :D Please name whatever racism Ron Paul has once uttered... Also, Ron Paul is against the FEDERAL legislation on abortion - that is more personal freedom, since you can move between states and stronger influence what type of rule you want. An...

It is true that Ron Paul is "extreme" compared to what is the current policies in the US. The actual policies in the US are more centrist, since there is the counterweighting through the US congress and senate from the opposition. There is also a lot of "wheeling and dealing" from the various...

I agree - scalping is very, very difficult right now... I tried one scalp today on EURJPY and bailed on +2pips. I could have gotten 8pips tops on that trade... The risks are just enormous under the current conditions. It is better to save money by NOT trading right now. The US open has just...

http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE49M58W20081023 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress on Thursday he is "shocked" at the breakdown in U.S. credit markets and that he sees more layoffs and a jump in unemployment ahead. Despite...

NHK TV news is chock full of bad news for tourism and exporters because of the strong Yen -- e.g AUDJPY . There is a new government forming in Japan as well, but this just further strengthens the case for some Yen intervention. It will come unless markets anticipate the moves, and repatriation...

Yes, the talk has been there for some time now... But the fact of the matter is that there is a huge unrolling of carry trades, as well as massive repatriation effects - especially this week on the back of Q3 numbers, which have soured the mood. In financial terms, a strong Yen is helpful...

Wow, that was some pop on the Euro there... A lot of fun - looks like some spunk has returned to the players. :) I am doing some small "tests" to see if I am scalping correctly now - and it looks pretty OK, I am 3 for 5 with nice ups and small downs. Need to focus 100% when scalping - so no...

JPY is very strong, and Japan was in good shape before this crisis, coming off a prolonged difficult period themselves... however, it seems very run up now (the Yen), and they were talking much about intervention - but I guess things can drag on and hit you when you last expect it. For now, they...

Markets are thin and easily swayed... When the USD is high and strengthening like this, any foreign investor fleeing from the US pays a lot better for the US than if the USD was weak. I think those saying it is "economic warfare" are absolutely right... There are no "technical levels"...

Isn't Alan Greenspan really more to blame than any of the two US presidents?
