I wouldn't trust a realtor to tell me what day of the week it is. These are the same bastards telling people to buy homes in 2007-2008 at hyper-inflated prices. They make money selling you something whether it's a good idea or not. To the OP, I'd say wait. I think there's too much risk to...

I thought this was a rather interesting article about where the oil money is heading in the future. Anybody have any idea what percentage of treasuries is currently bought with petrodollars...

For me. I believe today's action hinged on the news out of Europe. The eur/usd prior to the news was at the confluence of the 50 and 100 DMA. A cross is extremely bullish or bearish so you can expect alot of buying and selling there. (Just look at all the crosses over the last couple of...

If it's a lot of money I wouldn't recommend a single currency. I'd say to diversify. Park 1/3 in a risk currency: YEN or CHF Park 1/3 in a commodity bloc: AUD Park 1/3 in EUR or USD Between the EUR and USD, I'd say the EUR. I think there's too many "uncertainty" factors facing the...

Can you explain this?

After the watching the big run in gold the last couple of days and being unable to trade it in either my spot accounts, I am now looking very seriously at all options. This actually looks pretty good. I downloaded two of their platforms and tested each. The spreads are actually pretty good...

I've read about this. Eastern Europeans took mortgages from Swiss banks for the low interest rates. They are hurting now as the CHF strengthens to record highs against Euro, zloties - as they have to pay mortgages back in CHF. It's only a matter of time before they begin to default on...

They had no choice.

I have to agree with this point of view of Canadians as I have a few close friends who are from Quebec. I would also point out on foreign affairs they are very much aligned with Republican ideals and U.S. foreign policy. The Canadians have/had servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan. The...

How long before they put up a fence to keep out the Americans who are looking for jobs, opportunity and a better way of life?

I maybe wrong, but I thought the ADP report is generated from actual payrolls that ADP was processing over the past month. I worked for a small business and we used them for our payroll accounting. If we hired or fired someone, they knew about it immediately. If this is the type of data that...

It's kind of ironic. The liberal left wing socialist State of California used capitalism in order to decide to give Chinese socialist their business over U.S. Steel Worker socialist unions. Because it's cheaper. What do we call that Capitalist-Socialism?

Yes, this is the key. My whole plan hinges on this point and that is why I made it step one in my plan. It all depends on whether reputable broker exists that will not be intimidated by U.S. regulators and laws and will accept the account. Since the regulations are new, I suspect many...

Thanks for the link. It's very informative. But, let me clarify the intent of setting up an offshore account is not to evade paying taxes. The intent of setting up an offshore account is to allow one to trade. Income/profit made by trading would be distributed to shareholders annually or...

OK, now that is a relief. But we need now is a plan other than "just deal with it" that will allow us to maintain are lively hood and for many of us are income and protect us from future regulation. My idea was this... 1.) Find a reputable broker that accepts an entity such as a...

What kool aid are you drinking? Deal with what - the fact that at any moment the CFTC can outlaw Forex trading in the U.S. altogether. They have that authority and were lobbied hard last year not to do so. Just because they didn't, does not mean they won't. In just the last six months the...

Most likely you'll need more than one year of residency in order to be eligible for paying in-state tuition. It will probably be more like 5 or more years of having paid state income taxes in order to be eligible. Even if your kid declares emancipation they'll have to have worked and lived...

I have tick data in the following format... YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss.ss1 AskPrice1 BidPrice1 YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss.ss2 AskPrice2 BidPrice2 YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss.ss3 AskPrice3 BidPrice3 ... .. . Does anybody know of a standard formula or method to derive a proxy for the Buying and Selling...

When the U.S. dollar has declined 18% in the last year only the fools, the poor, the uneducated and ignorant are not trading. In today's economy conditions, especially those here in the U.S., trading is as much gambling as is not trading. I trade every day and I never consider it gambling...

From link... "What you need to do is--and bear with me here--send your best Wall St. salesmen and diplomats to China and sell them a bill of goods about how they can “modernize” with our help. The Cold War is over. Capitalism reins. You know us Wall St. types! It's all about the dollar...
