    warren averages down

    You are definitely a luminary, no doubt about it. Ever heard of the fisher effect? You must earn the same amount of interest abroad on a risk free asset as you earn at home. Otherwise, you would get what we call arbitrage. Hence, when Buffet buys Euros, he doesn't see an arbitrage opportunity...

    POLL: The Black Swan Event

    warren averages down

    That is incorrect. Inflation initially leads to a rapid depreciation of a currency. If inflation is in check and real interest rates remain the same or higher, then one can say that the dollar will get stronger. That is very rarely the case because inflation LEADS interest rates, hence if...

    Chinese Float

    China is a castle of cards right now. Any minor shock could send it spiralling down. Economic regulations are very dodgy whether they apply to bank loans or stocks and bonds. Credibility in the system is very weak, hence the problem that the government is facing. They cannot risk anything...

    Carry trades

    The carry trade is over soon. I wouldn't venture into it. You need a lot of money to make a significant amount of money off of the spread between the financing and the carry cost.

    Buffet

    "Survivorship Bias" has always been the name of this game, it is hard to accept it but the dough seems to be flowing to a select number of individuals.

    Buffet

    Come on Surfer, the guy is a gambler, have you read his books ? Would you give this guy any of your money to invest? Ask his children if they would. Has no conception of risk and has a real problem taking losses.

    Correction. Niederhoffer is a joke. Anyone comparing Niederhoffer ("Down with hope" litterally) to Buffett is the true joker.

    Here Is The Huge Bond Spike

    Come on... Also, was looking at the euro at that time and it didn't seem to have any suspicious activity, at time of bloomberg release, so if anything you guys might want to do is adjust your watch to reflect Actual time. Insider timers are no idiots they don't just pile up contracts for...

    Is there anybody here from France ?

    I agree with all of your comments. Having lived in France for a very long time and visiting twice a year at least, I can only say that anti semitism is at best "average". A year ago, I was actually flying to France from Newark but missed my flight so had to go to JFK. I took a cab from...
