Can I change my username without having to create a new account?

It doesn't surprise me that Singapore, which is a country where the private sector is celebrated and encouraged to grow, is able to create better healthcare outcomes while incurring less cost than other countries. What is Singapore doing that the U.S. can emulate?

This is an interesting way to look at the purchasing power of someone who earns minimum wage - do you happen to have a link for this comparison?

You would see yields that are much higher than expected compared to the coupon. It means that the issuer (the government in this case) was unable to sell all the bonds at the price they wanted and had to lower it.

How is a negative interest rate possible? Eurodollars at 100 means that LIBOR is 0%. No bank would pay another bank for the "privilege" of lending money. We can have negative real interest rates but that's another story.

EST.

Liquidity is best from 3:00 A.M. to 12:00 p.m. in my opinion.

Going long USD/CHF looks like a good play for the next few days.

Bankrate.com publishes the 3 month libor rate daily but I'm not sure if the data is delayed: http://www.bankrate.com/rates/interest-rates/libor.aspx

Do you know what the typical spreads are on Hotspotfxi for EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and EUR/JPY? Thanks.

It gets even better with AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY. :)

Thanks Madison. That's exactly what I was looking for. :)

I'm looking for a thread made in the past where a post listed various reasons/excuses the media is saying to justify a stock market rally. It looked something like this: Something= news better than expected Something= there will be more stimulus Something= record money on the sidelines...

While it's clear that the money supply has increased over time, the data should have been presented on a logarithmic scale - a linear graph makes it look like an increase from 1000 to 2000 is 1000 times worse than going from 1 to 2.

It doesn't look like it's too late to go short now at 1.5890.

This is just my opinion, but I think it will take awhile for the yen to strengthen from here against the dollar at least. I think 88.60 will hold for now.

Does anyone else get the impression that hedge funds are starting to become nothing more than levered mutual funds?

You're right and it gets even worse from there since EUR/USD has the lowest spread. A 6 pip spread on GBP/JPY 6/143 *400 = 16.78% spread cost for 400:1 leverage. One wrong trade and everything will be gone. :eek:

Let's assume that the spread on EUR/USD is 1 pip. 1% is 147 pips give or take a few so 1/147 = 0.0068% spread for someone with no leverage. 0.0068*400 means a 2.72% spread cost for someone with 400:1 leverage right off the bat. How is it even possible to trade with 400:1 leverage without blowing...
