Right, the masses are looking at the ROC of money supply and commodity inflation. The reality is the overwhelming majority of inflationary pressure is on account of wage inflation-- of which there is little, none and, in some sectors, disinflation. No wage growth / job creation-- no...

I interpreted Greenspan's comments as quintessential Fed "jaw-boning". He was trying to talk yields higher. Greenspan needs yields on the long end to move higher lest the yield curve flatten (invert?) with short term rates still artificially "low". Too many assume we've successfully...

Thanks, Steve.. That just proves I've got no business trading this thing until I've rolled my sleeves up and got my hands dirty... In the meantime, why does Yahoo! Finance indicate that the HKD fluctuates relative to the USD (that's a rhetorical question, kinda- I'll figure it out myself)...

Kiwi, Thanks! Exciting..? Nah! In the event I attempt to trade this HSI beast... I'm already wondering if I should offset any currency risk the moment I get a fill. I've still got a full plate of research to do before I even consider dabbling in this market.. for all I know, the...

Why is it that sometimes you refer to yourself as "we" or "our" and other times "I"? Is this a psychological issue or is there a dynamic kept unknown to the random reader? If you are "I", then who is "we"?

Is $5K enough to get started with trading? I suppose the answer to your question depends on your goals. If your intent is to finance a lifestyle (i.e. pay bills)- probably not. If your intent is to make a few dollars here and there; it is entirely possible. Perhaps a better...

Right. Intuition comes from experience. I will write that one more time. Intuition comes from experience. Eventually your sub or un conscious becomes the sled dog. However there is a fine line between "guessing" and intuition. Guessing is a random function more akin to gambling while...

So everytime I lose I get spanked and yelled at by a chick dressed in the cat woman uniform ... and that is supposed to unconsciously deter losing?? Whaa?
