Yes, I know it was sarcasm - but it is also a double-edged sword - by admitting that Obama is a better talker, implying Obama makes better points.

The Japanese did not bail out the banks, no recapitalization. That lead to a decade of no growth and declining stocks. The Mexicans refinanced loans. The Swedish nationalized banks and recapitalized them. Those are the differences. So far the US has not recapitalized banks, employing a...

Got in late on EURJPY at 136.31 but closed +51pips. Seems like there is now a clear way ahead on EURUSD to well above 1.13600 , but it's lingering around that 1.3625-30 still.

Good ones... He even did stick his tongue out and grimace when he stood up there with the Obamas and Cindy and they were waving to the crowd. Also, he sometimes stick his tongue out when sitting there in the debate, but that seems kind of a weird way of wetting his lips or something... On...

Well, Nelson says that the long term effects of the 1873 crisis were "perverse" and that the "Gilded Age" began in the US - with "robber barons" and "excesses of wealth" displayed by the "US upper class", as well as strong population growth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_Age I think...

Well, that last one got stopped out for -48pips on EURUSD. No obvious other setups right now...

EURUSD really needs to get above 1.36 again... The repatriation is what is putting so much pressure on the EURUSD, as well as strengthening the JPY. It will not "last forever" - obviously - so there will be upside... what we are seeing now is a lot of technical effects from money fleeing back...

If someone is smart - they know how to show it, however not all intelligent people know how to show their potential. Also, having potential is not the same as having content or the knowledge. Being smart is a combination of various things - and is also defined by a situation. Obama certainly...

Hehehe, you should have a GIF of when McCain after the debate got up and is undecided which way he should go around the table to get to the front, flails his arms and sticks out his tongue while grimacing... :D

Remember, this angry, rebellious individual -- this IS the real McCain... this is how he gets his "drive as a maverick." He failed in the eyes of his father and grandfather, and he was brought up between the skirt of his mother with this resentment. McCain has been a conflicted person...

Yes, there is a compounding effect now, and frankly McCain is his worst enemy - namely his antics, the personality of McCain - that is some of thing that drive people away from him. McCain is simply not a likeable person. He's not as awful as Giuliani, though. George W. Bush had one REALLY...

McCain is such a goofball, sticking out his tongue and making faces when the debate was over and he got up. Also making a lot of ugly grimaces during the speeches of his opponent - McCain is an emotional person, he seems pretty "unmanly" to me... He is not at all dignified or seem to understand...

Well, boring debate -- but looks like the Yen got back down...

I just got in for the opportunity down there ... but I guess I'll watch the debate or something. No overnight trades so far - except those two longer term.

Closed some EURJPY +48 , +45 , +30 , +4 , -14 ... all just above 134... 02:12 CET ah, looks like I could have waited a little ... but, for +30 more on all - hmm, better safe than sorry :) €+8,400 on that. I must stop going so heavy into these bottom catchers - or I'll get burnt badly...

Ivanovich, I have one trade from 133.92 and one from 133.67 - the former with a wider stop and target - the second with -25 stop loss and target roughly 134.50. Just looking for some bounce here - one easy one and one which can go a little longer - but I'll check them every now and then...

Wow, that is some carnage the JPY has done when coming back here... and the USD has been helping too. All that repatriations and settlements that are setting in... seems commentators agree too. Time to take a look at some trades again - especially on EURJPY. Targeting 136 from below 134...

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/10/paul.newsletters/index.html From what I see there was nothing particularly racist in anything publicized. I found a lot of accusations of Ron Paul being anti-semitic - but to me it seems he is anti-corruption, and certainly no supremacist --- unlike...

Now that we are into the closing 90 minutes of US RTH -- and there might be more flight from USD, or at least some stronger moves. Given the beige book gloomy outlook it seems that less volatility will be the norm throughout the close - more short term trending. Those 4 trades gave a total of...

Seems the 135.80 was a good pivot level... :D Closed 4 trades now... +55, +50, +40 and +25 pips ... they were all in the red earlier - all closed around 136.40 . That is how stubborn I was about this one - and the EURUSD kept me a believer. It stayed pretty good all through this - so it...
