Higher rates will attract foreign capital that will allow them to replace dollars with euros in their currency reserves.

"Geopolitical tension?" There isn't going to BE any. The new war is being made by the global rich on the local poor. They are going to inflate us, the poor, into poverty and perpetual welfare serfdom. Staying at the margin with wise investments may be your only hope. Gold is cheap now. Oil is...

Concur. You should be inflation proofing with gold, materials and energy, like the ETF's GLD, XLB, AMLP, XLE, and USO.

Wood yew be so kind as to tell an auld man your currant age? Then I can apepropriately reaplie to your post.

The sportin' way to do it is with too small a calibre. Like a 9mm parabellum. In a large capacity pistol.

Always open season here in Texas!

I am thinking that since we picked up four electoriable votes at the 'spense a NY, NJ and PA that we should goraciously accept all Yankee re-fuggees. Most um be a comin' thru my neck o' the woods on they way ta yorn. Ah'll be sellin' um water and blankets onna side a tha freeway.

OK, Sallie, don't keep us in suspense. Kindly tell us "what rough beast slouches toward Bethelehem to be born?"

GC is it. For all the others volume is low and consequently the spread is painfully wide, like an overzealous gynecologist cranking a speculum wide. If your horizon is wider than a contract's duration, you might look at the ETF GLD. Spread is usually a penny.

Oh, please! That's not art! THIS is art!

Buy three one-ounce silver eagles. And put them away until the day you die. Then give them to the three people you love the most.

The late economist Roy Jastram summarized his research into the historical value of gold in his book "The Golden Constant." Time and again, an ounce of gold has bought roughly the same number of loaves of bread. So all you need to do is forecast the price of bread.

Because your thread is the most interesting one running today. And because I am forcing myself to watch the market I trade, knowing full well it isn't going to do shit today. And because all my favorite porn sites don't update today. So harassing innocents on ET is my only distraction.

DT, I don't know what part of this world you are from. One presumes you are not transmitting in from the outside, but I rule out nothing. So let me tell you a brief story about the Sufi mullah Nasruddin: A neighbor came upon Nasruddin one dark night down on his hands and knees beneath a...

Sie haben recht! But what pisses me off is that I routinely have trading dreams that make no sense. One recently was of two histogrammed time series that I cross-correlated with about an 80% correlation coefficient. About as tight a linear regression as you could expect from a real-world...

Just FYI, a few of us here like to play a game and place side bets with each other: how many questions do I have to ask a poster to find out if he has a clue about trading?

Got it. An interesting intellectual exercise. Sort of like curve fitting a curve fit.

Mine came from dreams. If that qualifies as out the ass.
