Thank you, SolidMom. I am looking at ThinkorSwim right now. Thanks Murray!

calls or puts?

Thanks. The Yahoo page says "Historical quotes typically do not go back further than 1970." Do you know of any other resource for the time prior to WWII? 1930-1945

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get stock prices going back prior to wwII. I can check charts on yahoo for the dow and a few more indexes but no stocks. The oldest data I found for free on the internet was on bigcharts beginning on early 70s. I am looking for charts and it doesn't matter...

At present prices, small soybean producers in Argentina will go bust and many medium size grain pools will do so in 09'. Between lack of credit for farmers and no L/C from importers this is starting to paint like a real drama. But the supply shock that comes afterwards will be the keynote. I...

Very helpful, Mark!

And yet the BDI has not only stopped dropping in a straight line but also advanced in the last 5 sessions, and in the last 2 weeks made a higher low and today a higher high. How soon will this be reflected in comm's and China?

Thanks.

I was wondering if anybody here actively uses Japanese candlesticks and can say how reliable they are or what would be a good way to approach them. Today the VIX formed what appears to be a hanging man... what are the odds of seeing vol come down for the remaining of the week? Thank you.

Good visual excercise, but I am afraid you can't draw any firm conclusion. Go back and overlap the chart of 1987's crash. It will actually look closer than the 29s period. AND if you overlap the chart of the Nikkei's crash from the 90s onward over the period started on Dec 07 for the dow, it...

Actually, piezoe might be correct. Argentina did this many times and possibly trying a repeat these days as well. It's called liquefaction of debts (through inflation) and in Argentina's case it worked well for corporation and gov. debts which were pulverized (J. Martinez de Hoz and Cavallo's...

USD hegemony maybe dead, but the influence of the US has made it a notch higher. "On this basis, the role of the IMF in providing macro-financial policy advice would be strengthened." The US has the largest share of the IMF.

Not exactly right. Demand will never go down but that does not mean that the industry will remain -or currently is- profitable.

Be careful. Your point #4 from your last post needs some reconsideration. For example, Monsanto is already experimenting with special type of seeds for planting soybean in Africa obtaining much cheaper crops. As for your #1 point from your first post, nothing but the opposite. Many countries...

That Nikkei low was ominous. Didn't Martin Armstrong predicted that if it couldn't get pass 21k it would make a new low? He is also predicting an apocaliptic high on 4/09, as in the last high we will see before a deeper low into 2011. Do members here believe he is just a fraud?

Brandon doesn't need someone defending him neither I am a personal friend of his but I suggest you go back and read his post *carefully* for more than 1 second. He in fact answered the OP's questions. He said, as per my interpretation, "EVEN THOUGH I am a seller of FX courses, I do not recommend...

Set up an offshore corp owned by a trust in Nevis.

Most of the time you may be right with this strategy. But the danger is that you may end up thinking there is a direct relationship between "market tops" and puts being cheap. This is not always the case. Neither the opposite is -for cheap calls at market bottoms-, provided I understood what you...

I vote Hendry to replace Cramer.

That is fine. I maybe wrong too. As you say, noone knows. I came to this country in 1991 and I still believe the "american market" is not only alive and well but that is "Gnormous" -one level above gigantic- and that the american spirit and american minds will soon find ways to invent/create...
