But clever people often play 1 or 2 moves ahead of the rest which means it's in their interests NOT to let others know their real intentions, ie fool them into thinking their hand is this when in fact it's that. Not saying it's happening now but listening to an investment bank's advice is not...

There's certainly a bull market in people calling for a top in Gold. Perhaps that's the REAL contary indicator to indicate we're going a lot HIGHER. PS. How many magazine covers of nerds and computers from 1996 till the top of the Nasdaq around 2000? Plenty of course...........

I agree with you C'tain, well said :)

I always love how US big business comes across as so patriotic, you know put those massive flags up everywhere, make a big sing and dance about how great America and Americans are. But when it comes to making money, the US can go stuff itself because it's cheaper to get business done...

Are you saying that the govt's figures are bogus? Who would have thought of that :)

Ghost, didn't see your post, so we made similar points.

Just remember that CNBC and others were heavily pushing the internet boom and that went on for many years before it collapsed. In effect the crowd was very right for a long time before being very wrong. Gold is strong, it's been trending for 10 years now and so it's a pure gamble to try to...

No, sadly not when there's a short term profits to book.........

One Swallow never makes a summer just remember that. The Yen is strong and has been strong for a reason so just because BOJ moves in doesn't really alter the market's internal structure that much. And don't forget the BOJ is nothing and I mean NOTHING against the market. Sure, it can set...

Somerset Maugham summed it up pefectly - "a sunny place for shady people” There's a lot of really nasty nouveau trash there. However, if you're the type of person that looks up to rich people only because they're rich and vice-versa with poor people then it's a good place. Otherwise...

If I had $450billion to invest I'd buy some Greek govt debt as well because with that money you've pretty much got to buy everything that's liquid. Anyway, the announcement is probably politically motivated to show there are some serious buyers out there.

Bet Hendry and his gang got paid well though. See, it's not so much about making your clients' a good return as long as you get paid first.

But how much did they get paid when they signed the deals? Often if doesn't really matter if they deal makes or loses in the end because all the people at the top get paid in advance, signing bonuses that sort of thing. Same with sub-prime, they all got paid via fees when the person...

If you want security, ie the value of your cash can't go down then cash is the only thing to invest in. Buy an ETF and even though it might pay a yield of 4% there's nothing to stop it dropping 20% over the next year or even few months. Of course the reverse is true, nothing to stop it...

MOPE pure and simple.

Love how these crappy marketers sell the dream....... With just 10 days option education and you'll be able to take profits away from some of the sharpest traders on the planet :)

A bloodless military coup that's what. Get the Army to take over and clean out Washington, no fear of making the right yet unpopular moves because they aren't about votes. Then have normal elections in 4-5 years. Can't see any problem with the above if handled right.

Not saying you didn't but the market is usually full of people that bought around the lows and made BIG. These are normally always the same people that 'saw it all coming' and sold out right before it collapsed. And what do 90% of these people have in common? They all LOVE to tell people...

Looks like these colleges are just fronts for pushing consumer debt.

Most, if not all of them use stochastics.
