Damn, what else can I short thats gold aligned, in the stock world Apart from the futures gold contract.

Europe and UK is slowing down, may force sell off in the EURO, thus $USD bounces back all of massive wave of profit taking...gold will follow. If $USD pulls back, expect stocks to boom, as European rush to buy stocks with there buying power while they can. Short lived boom, I must admit.

Dear TM Direct, So I assme the $750k of my money is safe as the other clearing firm buys the account, but is it safe on a $1 to $1 rate ? Thanks for your input.

I understand that if a bank goes down, a bank can cover $100k cash via insurance for each individual account. So If my broker has $100k of my cash, I assume I am covered. But if I have $500k, and I buy $400k of stocks and bonds and I have $100k cash, an I still covered if the bank goes...

I am after an online service where I can in put about 40 stocks to watch in the gallery view ( that 10 charts on one page), with basic moving averages and volume. I see that Bigcharts has a portfolio service and stockcharts.com have a watch list service, but not sure these are the best out...

If the Nikki stops plunging, AUDUSD UP, if not watch out for more carry trade selling as risky assets undwind. My bet AUDUSD up from here as carry trade selling has stopped, maybe. RBA sets rates based on inflation its not political.

Next serious = resistance 2.0

Crude is priced in USD So Crude in EURO or AUD is just fine !!

They say on CNBC that housing is 5% of the market NOW. When the market was moving up in 2004 to 2006 the power behind the market was housing and employment, basically the consumer. Housing is directly maybe 5% of the market, but the consumer is 70% of GDP and housing is 80% of consumer...

EUR 1.50 to 1.60 easy... USD needs exports advantage from a low dollar. Oil $100 plus easy. But a recession is on the card, how can you stop the fear. Banks are tightening too much as they are loosing big. Fear is winning...

Thanks, and anything gold would be fine.

I know I can buy GOLD via ETF like GDX or GLD, but these I believe are gold minor stock and can go up and down with the stock market. There is gold futures. Mini Ideal for me would be to buy gold ETF that resembles the raw metal ? What are MY GOLD options, are the any more ETF that...

Forget NN. There is not a NN anywhere that can pick a turning point in the future. A price series is near impossible to pick a turning point from historical data and maths.

..."Rate Cuts Not Likely to Continue By Brian Blackstone ".. ..."Not likely"... Using wording like this in not a clear signal. If fed guy said, there will be no rate cut. Then thats clear. Otherwise its just spin, to place a few judder bars in way of the USD sinking to third world...

I agree more cuts, all the FED talk is there to stop a massive collapse. But dollar will reverse when EURO and UK cuts rates. Maybe 2 more rate cuts, not sure. As the FED does not want to dissapoint, they need to talk much stronger so that the FED FUND FUTURES doesnt price in rate cut. So...
