    How low can the dollar go?

    Sure, come puppy, right on your forehead... And also: Now, if you can just understand what others write, it would be obvious for you that phatlosz wants to get prepared for inflation/hyperinflation by earning money in a foreign currency. So the question is about present times. I answered...

    How low can the dollar go?

    Where did you hear that, in a barber shop? Seriously, have you ever looked at a HUF graph before? See how interestingly it moves along the euro? It's because it unofficially/naturally is tied to it, being in the EU and all... The point is, before you want to accumulate wealth in a currency, you...

    Fed's Plosser calls for rate hikes

    Maybe this is the "normal" reaction to central bankers' diatribe... Maybe what used to be the norm was wacky... Since no central bank in the free world is doing anything proactively; ie. they're reacting to market developments; all they're doing is at most slowing the markets down in whichever...

    Jim Rogers: My First Million

    LOL. Rogers is a bullshitter. A masterful at that, but still. Working hard? :D How many people are there with '$600 in their pockets' and are willing to work extremely hard at their startup fund? Only those people never get the chance to show they would work hard. The secret of Rogers'...

    IB TWS: Foreign Cash conversions Ideal / Ideal Pro

    :D Just what I wrote about women and their SUVs... I could also write about functional analphabets, but what would be the point? :D BTW P&L and position reporting in TWS is real-time, and shows exact and reliable data. RTFM...

    Orange Juice

    For OJ to start flying, the real economy would have to start flying, which I don't see happening, since personal consumption of OJ is down. People drink more water and alcohol in times of distress. No signs of that turning around just yet. BTW oranges are more permanent crops than for example...
