Its not only then Yen, the Swiss Franc has been very profitable as well, mind you l had to endure 2 false trades(whipsaw). For all their arrogance, fancy computers the hedgies & banks are yet to realise just crowd orientated they are ! Sure enough once in a while they get it right, but not for...

I might also like to add the Swiss Franc as well, round my neck of the woods some folks were carry trading it as well as the Yen. As long as short selling is allowed and you continue thinking out of the box :D Personally my manic depressive state feeds quite well during periods of havoc, and...

Yeah just read that article, if any poker players are about, should we not all be considering "..all in.." there is something fishy going on....derivatives massarce :p , as long as my brokers remain afloat l will be one happy bunny

Lets always always look at the picture as traders not what we would like to see. There were 160 000+ contracts against the Yen ( each contract is worth Yen2,500,000) , do the maths yourself, but l thought one rule of successful trading/investing/speculation is that the crowd may be right for a...

There are people buying :eek:

Yes the Yen has been my best trade ever since l got into this business. :D My question is if these big funds hire all those Yale, Cambridge, Havard , MIT and Oxford brilliant PhDs why do they still all act in identical fashion :confused: , even worse they start to run in same direction so much...

Yes PLEASE !!! They think my money ain't good enough to flip their IPO's :mad: They do have great industrialists, but for a country with 1 billion+ people its just a numbers game. The sooner Bombay Stock Exchange submerges the better. Do excuse me but l still have some anger in being told that...

Are you then suggesting that certain segments of society should not engage in lucrative real estate deals because they are cashiers(e.g. my girlfriend ) ? Or is it better when its middle class whitey buying apartments then its an investment? We have same problem here in UK. Read in an evening...

I went short Monday open, and have never been taunted so much by people l considered friends. Have you looked at the open interest on Soybeans, textbook stuff. So far my perceptions,beliefs and thoughts of market action have been rewarded. :p

Is this the same message board on which Dow 16000 was actually considered a reality for 2007 by some folks ?:eek:

Even better, they have started unwinding their USD$/Yen carry trade nonsense and has been rather profitable on the other side :p , most funds round here were playing the long side on futures (leveraged) and kicking the Yen as well (leveraged) , if one major prime broker sneezes and a couple of...

I might as well reply to myself (too many years alone) down 100 ticks today, :D am l alone but occassionally l feel like ignoring my rules and plunging like a mad man !!! Could either lose my shirt or make a decent amount :p

The trend is your friend....:p

True, apparently a few people had been approaching loan sharks and getting additional loans against their homes on top of what the banks had given the to trade/gamble stocks :eek: . Been flipping B-share IPO's for a while now and the returns we pure bubble style, had planned withdrawl for mid...

True some H-shares on HKEx traded at discounts as high as 75%. Unfortunately arbitrage is impossible even if structured with derivative instruments :mad: Even the twaddle heads at The Economist magazine did 3 page article on it a few moons ago. In any case A-shares are for domestic...

You will need to demonstrate parental linkage with India or ancestral. Remember its still a 3rd world country despite all the nonsense about it being the next superpower ( or a BRIC) its still pretty much behind in terms of freedom of funds movement in its capital markets. Until mid last year...

This is why they hate traders coz sure enough were are all making a killing in this market whilst those stuff middle class twats are now in the red just doing buy and hold :D

Its now DOW -432pts, if l had less responsibilities l would have done proper plunging :D

DOW -329pts, what else can you ask for ? :p Wish l had just done options not futures :mad: Yes don't calculate it for me.

And not to be left behind Soybeans follows through -10.3 , perhaps the Chinese demand will slump as well. Pub economics :D
