The man responsible for allowing these loans should be sacked and forced to end his career. The job of the Fed is to promote the American economy not foreign economies! Do they not think more than one week ahead? When you make so many loans what do you think is going to happen to the interest...

I completely agree! Everyone seems to believe that the economy is turning around but nobody actually understands either what happened in 2008 or what is happening now. I read an article the other day that said when a great power begins to spend more on the interest from its national debt...

This tax is a horrible idea! It would ruin me and a lot of other people I know! The tax wouldn't even solve anything! It would make us all lose our jobs and reduce the liquidity in commodities markets. I sure would like it if politicians actually did research when they decide to propose a new...

Congratulations lazar 206! Its not uncommon for traders to get excited when they reach a milestone like that and then they go make a stupid trade and lose half of their earnings! Keep up the good work and good luck with the hedge fund. I'm sure a prudent trader such as yourself has a bright...

This really was a bad month for the euro. And I feel bad for all the newbies who are just in it for the quick money because of the recession. Their money just goes to all the experienced traders who have paid their dues and are now competent enough to take advantage of other people's uninformed...

Looks like a fun couple of hours.

No way! Why not just transfer the money to an offshore account, move to Brazil or some other emerging economy and let the US fall while enjoying the tropical sun?

Women can be so manipulative sometimes!

What an inspiring story!

Oh its about trading? Maybe I'm a little interested now.

I think this is an ego thing. I recommend the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.

It's all about being patient.

Great idea, good luck.

This is a pretty loaded post! Kind of related, I think it's admirable what the bankers in rebel-held cities are doing to ensure liquidity and continuation of the economy... what an interesting country, and I had hardly even thought about it a few months ago!

@1a2b3cppp and jo0477, thank you! I am "Googling" it and doing my own research, it's just a pretty conceptually complicated process so it helps to bounce the ideas off of somebody else, and I appreciate your replies. @intradaybill Everybody's pretty busy, and 1a2b3cppp is right - my job is to...

Hey thanks everyone. I guess now I'm going to do a little research on the rollover aspect of things. I assume speculators don't really want to receive the barrels of oil on the contracts they trade. Bloomberg news always says something like "for April delivery" after every kind of contract...

I'm the new webmaster for a futures trading company and I have no idea how this stuff works. From what I understand futures are about transferring risk? A wheat farmer will enter a contract so that he may sell at a fixed price, thus eliminating the risk of falling prices. He also waives any...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a fairly young guy trying to get into this business of trading. Specifically, I'm very curious about futures. I've heard this term being thrown around, support and resistance. What does that mean?
