Sorry to derail the thread and turn this into a p*ssing contest. That wasn't my intent. I feel however that you're looking for subscribers and probably got a little annoyed with that.

Well I think in the interest of transparency it is important to understand your angle. I have understood your goal in starting this thread is to drive traffic to your site. I am not sure what the rules are on this, that is Baron's call. However, I do think it's important to understand that...

Are you a sponsor, or just shilling for free business?

But trends like this can probably last longer than one would think, no? I mean gold, oil, copper, etc have all had many fairly long periods of below production costs. Also, I feel that most industries overinflate their cost of production estimates to help justify higher prices.

Still unclear on why you wouldn't just get rich trading Yen and Dollar rather than shilling for subscriptions if you could predict Yen and Dollar trades.

If you can predict what is happening with the Yen and Dollar, why do you even need to attempt to try to predict equities? Why not just trade the Yen?

Correlations are in a constant state of flux. There is no way for you to predict much from the Yen except the dollar and Nikkei. The BOJ has all but promised that the Yen will sink so that should result in Nikkei moving higher and of course the Yen makes up a significant portion of the DX...

Write your congressman/woman and let them know this will have a negative impact on wealth creation and retirement for the middle class. Regardless of party affiliation or who your Rep is (even the Pelosi's and Van Hollen's, etc) need to know you're not happy with this garbage.

So I'm assuming this "tiny fee" would hit futures, options and forex right?

Love how they label it a "tiny fee". Well, that 10 basis points is not only a fee that would hit every single worker with a pension, 401k, IRA, etc when they bought or rebalanced, but it's also less money that can compound over time for those saving for retirement. Making people even more...

Bills like this and the trainwreck that is Obamacare are exactly what you get when one entire party (half of our democratic system) is represented by lawyers and academics. Absolutely zero understanding of markets or economics.

The Democrats are shameless in quest for power. Why would they want to put a 0.1% tax on holders of pensions, IRA's, 401k's, etc? HF traders and hedge fund 1%'ers make up a small percentage of the overall market, yet all they can think of is coming up with a tax that hits everyone trying to...

If you're using the word "options" in the trading sense, you could trade options on the CME interest rate futures (incl. 10 year, 5 year, 30 year, etc). If you're using the word "options" in a generic sense, then you have many different choices: -10 year futures (outright positions) symbol...

This sounds like a technicality. I don't have a dog in the fight, but no one cares about the distinction between crude oil and shale, etc. They just want gasoline for their cars that is affordable. Most people that were screaming peak oil, believed crude would be north of $100bbl for...

The Fed has handed over the reigns to the ECB. Their QE is now the great hope of the West.

Agreed. It's $2,500. Obviously it depends on your situation. If you're in debt, homeless or have kids to feed, etc, then you probably shouldn't be trading. But if you're young/single, then let it rip. Losing $2,500 is 10x better than losing $25,000.

It's only $2,500 which means two things, IMO.... 1. You can't do much trading wise with $2,500 except maybe options, forex or maybe 3x leveraged ETF's. Keep in mind that even if you put up a 200% return on capital, you would only make $5,000, so clearly you must have some sort of other income...

I don't think anyone really cares if their car is running on gas made from Crude or Shale. They just care about price, so the distinction between peak crude oil and peal oil is a moot point IMO. Either way, I tend to think many that subscribed to peak oil had decided that it was just a matter...

Absolutely

Gringo has it correct..... Argentina has had massive inflation in recent yeas. When that happens, asset prices, including company stock, real estate, etc have massive inflation too (typically). This is certainly the case for Argentina.
