The US is Enron to me. I recently read "Smartest Guys In The Room" about Enron and the parallels with the US government right now are incredible and frightening. Great read if you get a chance... The $USD is poo and becoming more poo - it lost 2% last week just on the hint the US might wrap...

i have to agree with 1daytrader. its rare to ask a question on elite and get such a well thought out, insightful and helpful response. for someone new to currencies (me) it woul have probably taken a year to figure all this out. thanks for all your help late apex.

iran is a long way from having a bomb. i do find it interesting and funny though how flagrantly they are thumbing their noses at the US. Treating Georgey like a bitch.

what a great exit by greenspan though. the "costanza exit". left bernacke holding the bag. and the bag is full of poo and on fire. have already heard several reference to bernackes mismanagement of the economy.... dude hasnt even unpacked his stapler yet. oil is creeping almost to...

i think the research was pretty limited. however - i think its a good sign silver is getting coverage in mainstream media for the bull camp

eureka!! got it . thxs. the mental hamster is back on the wheel. i would be willing to bet that most traders at ib aren't aware of this. bit of a raquet really.you have to be marking 6-15% depending on leverage just to cover costs. not factoring in inflation, taxes, commissions...

thanks - but what about futures? you have to roll - but do you have to pay interest on the margin on currency futures?

does i.b charge interest on the margin for currency futures? i can't find it on the site or the ideal site... thx nne

my understanding re the silver etf is that it is demand dependant. initially a position will be accumulated but as the etf is backed by the commodity, physical would be added as reqd. if you go to the sec website - there is a lot of good info there. interesting stuff too. the sua is in pain!!

hats off to late apex. a great big thank you for taking the time to help me out. you are very kind to share your insights and in detail too. i really like this trade the more i research it. there is effectively anywhere from 750 billion to 3 trillion (T) USD in yen carry trade floating...

ack. sorry - im still foggy... just about the interplay of terms usd/jpy and jpy/usd.... they seem to be used interchangeably which i dont understand as one is 1.17 and other is .008529. I am an old guy so the hamster doesn't run as fast on the wheel as he used to! jpy/usd cash quoted at...

my question is regarding currency pairs specifically, i am looking to buy, go long, the yen i have quotes jpy/usd cash quoted at 117.89 and usd/jpy cash quoted at .008529 these seem to be quoted opposite to any other currency pairs in charting packages etc.... so if i am speculating that...

id like to buy some yen through i/b. ive never traded currencies but want to diversify away from USD a bit and like what i have been reading/studying about the yen. this is a long term play.... what are my options?any help would be greatly appreciated...i know nothing....

its a stretch that we will attack iran. they were warned with a firm " we will ignore you sometimes" for non compliance within 30 days. means jack. US could not go it alone in Iran. Simply not enough resources. They would love to because the Euro denominated oil issue is a huge threat. Euro...

makes ya wonder if somebody knows something we don't!! these are unreal moves. not a pullback in sight. i guess iran's definace is a contributing factor but as if they weren't going to tell the UN to take a flying fuck. UN can't decide on what to have for lunch let alone gooning iran.
