It's actually very dumbfounding to listen to market commentators reporting "strong volatility and markets down - but we never know what will happen, and maybe it will turn around before the end of the day" ... and then smile with a silly smile amongst the turmoil. That folly never ceases to...

The USD strengthening has been to ensure financial stability and buy some time to fix things - that puss boil could burst.

US treasury to sell more debt to increase and encourage borrowing ... that is not the best USD market news IMO. :)

In the short term - a weak BRL is very, very welcome - both for foreigners living in Brazil, but also for foreign investors. I am not looking at cashing in on my Brazilian investments any time soon - so this is just good news. The BRL will be stellar in no less than 12 months.

Finally .. hehe, € +14,000 on that one... :D Still one with sights for 138 ... but must trail stronger now... update: oops, that got stopped - but still € +3,000 :) OK, will watch US markets now ... let it all sink in, and get the adrenaline out... I was on the 5min and 1min bars...

My EURJPY bounce is under way - and stop loss of € +5,000 profits is guaranteed - will trail it now... Targetting roughly 137.50 ... but will see how it goes. update: extra (doubled) leverage on dip below 137 again... 138 target for that one - will hold the 137.50 for the former one...

I love the market right now - the currencies that is. :) No time for being scary pants... but applying your risk exposure to the market conditions - and playing it safe. Strong volatility means that technicals are useless, and you need to shorten timeframe for detailed trades. Also - a...

The positives in the EU trading bloc and the single currency commerce far outweigh the negatives in the current financial turmoil. The strength of the EU bloc is still in it's diversification and inherent trust, while the Euro is a facilitator for the markets.

EURJPY below 136 looks attractive, but will see how it plays the volatility - probably many stops getting run right now. Good scalping market conditions there now. update: Close to 135.50 seems very good for bounce...

It was funny how McCain repeatedly claimed "Reagan, my hero" --- when thinking about the economic crisis and Greenspan. :D Also, McCain managed to say "Another hero of mine - Teddy Kennedy" ... and the constant use of the expression "my friends." McCain is already dead in the water... even...

Take the test "What sex is your brain" on BBC... and see if you are attracted to feminine or masculine facial traits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/index_surveys.shtml I find Quest extremely factless and shallow - sadly flamboyant and egocentric... but that is just me, I guess.

Tempting to trail the extra leveraged EURUSD trade above 1.3750 - but it seems like psychological levels are playing part as well. And fast 1.38s means that 1.40s will follow fast as well.

Prof. Sachs from Columbia was on CNNI earlier and talked about how the US has not recapitalized banks yet - while Europe is doing that... and that more prolonged and serious misery will follow in the US. Not a depression, but certainly a prolonged recession.

Hehe, it is true that sporting amorous activities are very popular here in Brazil and nearby... less stress maybe - or just a mental shunt for them to get away from it all. Houston is famous for having the largest weight carriers...

I leveraged my trade another 50% yesterday when EURUSD dipped, but that is just short term for the run into the 1.37s and 1.38 testing. Scalping on EURJPY too... 30min bars on EURUSD and and 5min/30min bars on EURJPY are good for trading today. :) Think I'll stop that extra leveraged at...

milktruck, please stay with your average Houston slimmies... :)

40% ... then you were mostly into USD. I too do not hold BRL, except for property investments - but those are very profitable - the best one being a house bought just when Lula won the election. Also, remember that unless you realize your "profit", you are not really having any gains. If you...

Quest was arrested in NYC with a quantity of crystal meth, a rope tied around his neck and connected to his testicles - as well as a large sexual insertion pleasure toy stuck down in one of his boots. He was supposedly engaging in encounters with other males. Some colleagues of Quest from...

Mav88, I gather you are not religious - from your support of only empiricism and your disdain for philosophy, political studies and economics. You are a strong believer in capitalism, or just simply Darwinism?

:D You must do extremely well in trading with such (a)cute perception skills. Careful with those shades when you drive around at night. I understand you don't want to be recognized in the dark, but you could hurt someone...
