So, isnt the short the Euro trade the new short Japanese bond trade... People keep calling t the most easy money there is to make yet it just won't stay down for less then a week. I mean seriously what has to happen for it to really go down the crapper...

Not saying we need one, just curious on who do people turn to today.

Maybe it's Zero Hedge? They get read alot and I follow message boards from different countries and continents...

Maybe I should have written contemporary. So the Euro crisis is worsening... Who's opinion do people want to hear about it first? I really don't have an idea really.

I was curious, in today's globalized world... Which economist's opinion is sought after most on the internet? Is it Buffet? Roubini? Krugman?

Say 5 to 10 trades a day, week, month....

Thanks for any replies. People always discuss what is better and thats a never ending discussion really. But regardless what really is better I'd thought it to be interesting to hear why one prefers the one over the other, and if it is working or not. Cheers.

RIP Now it's about Jobs again.

Then it is clear marketeers get widespread respect while inventors get their respect from the hard core nerds...:D Like with the Flaming Moe.

Cars are one of the major causes of death globally today. Why should the likes of Ford be respected after they are gone with that in mind? :eek:

You seem to have a good touch for these 'short term' market moves Ralph.... But don't you fear the feeling of thinking you are so super smart and that effecting your decision making in the future? I don't mean this in any condescending way at all... Everyone who ever bought something...

I believe he built his reputation by being a global pioneer, then leaving Aple to see it close to collapse and return to rebuild it with basically his creativity as biggest asset to see it grow to one of the biggest companies in the world. That's quite something regardless if you like Aple...

I have a question that might sound very stupid but I'll ask it anyway. So the Swiss were going to peg the CHF at 1.20 Euro's right..... I believe it was at 1.10 the day before. They wanted X to be at level Y and they managed to get it there. Why not use the same method on whatever...

In your view, why did stocks stop falling in 09? Was it just them being very oversold?

So you guys have any thoughts on where the DOW or S&P could drop here? Is a retest of the 09 lows a possibility or is that too much? Can the system take global banking stocks trading at penny stock levels again?
