Right now I am expecting inflation. I was until now not a hyper-inflation nut, and still am not. However, having said that. I am predicting that next year we are going to have an inflation problem. In the UK and the US CPI is hovering at 1.8% This is not good news since it is 0.2% below the...

This reminds of the saying, "Money can't make you happy, but lack of it sure can make you unhappy!" Likewise college does not buy you money or happiness, but lack of college education can sure make you underemployed, and underpaid. Not saying that everybody should or should not go to...

SPX and NDX are cash settled indicies. However, I think ES and NQ are futures based indicies. NQ and ES are American, and if you are assigned you get the futures contract. That can be good or bad, depending on the underlying futures contract. You need to be careful when playing the ES vs SPX...

Oh this is wrong. The economy is not akin to physics. This is the BS that econometrics tries to feed the people. This is the sort of thinking that caused LTCM to fail, and this mortgage mess. The market, economics are nowhere near physics. They are psychological and philosophical...

Really? http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/wirtschaft/geld/Reiche-Auslaender-kaemen-nicht-mehr/story/31560594 The reality is that Switzerland is changing. I personally would not have thought so, but it is. And the reliance on rich people is starting to leave scars. The problem is that they pay...

Ok, that I can understand. If you play it close to the vest in terms of value, yeah I can understand how you would not want to play naked. That would be simply way to risky... Playing at the levels you do I would agree you need to play a different strategy. And in that case I can understand why...

Here is some interesting tidbits... http://www.taxmeless.com/page4.html If you fail to file that return for any tax year (whether a return is required or not), the statute of limitations on tax assessments for that year will never run out. Therefore, if you live abroad for 10 years, and...

I am not an American, but I have dealt with many Americans and have American friends who live outside of America. Here is how it works: 1) You are subject to taxation. But the catch is that they only ask for money if you are making oodles of money. For my friends who make about 100K USD...

BTW I live in Switzerland, and have so for the past decade. What has changed here in Switzerland is that the flat tax for foreigners is changing. Zurich got rid of it an election or two ago. The Swiss don't like the concept anymore because they are penalized for being a citizen of their...

Unless you are going to renounce your citizenship it does not matter where you live. And if you renounce you need a new citizenship and places like Switzerland, or Monaco are not going to give them to you. While in the past it was possible to get citizenship with money, interestingly unless...

Actually both of you are making my point. You are saying, you remember vividly on how it happened. Do you know how often it was? And when it was? Do you remember the details? And this is the point... I checked it out and indeed your 1K pip movement did occur and it was not as dramatic as...

One more thing. The EU has already said that they are sympathetic, but that Greece has to figure this one out itself. I don't think that the Euro is under assault because the EU is staying firm on their demands...

Let's be fair about this... This is a sort of situation that is like, "oh imagine if aliens decided to land on our planet and asked for a big mac." You might say that the likelihood of Greece going under is higher than aliens. Then I ask you why has the bond market not priced this in? The...

As the the other posters have said a month to go from no inflation to hyper-inflation is stretching it. And let's say that it did, then the planet is up the creek without a paddle and it does not matter what you do on the market since it will not matter. The problem with trying to prepare...

You REALLY sold 1.46 puts?

Yeah especially since Bush spent like a drunken sailor... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt To pin this on Obama is ignoring history! Obama is just continuing the fine history of spending like a maniac... Sadly he is the final bagholder...

THANK-YOU... We made changes in our lifestyle and it worked out for the better.

Hey here is "propaganda" from your own government. REad it and understand. http://www.epa.gov/airmarkt/progsregs/usca/acid_2008.html and mmsh://ms.radio-canada.ca/archives_new/2003/en/wmv/acidrain19791015et1.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf http://archives.cbc.ca/environment/pollution/topics/584/...

You know what, I am going to say you are a f**kh**d. Harsh language, but you want to know why? Because I happened to be living in Canada, in Ontario, and in a lake region during the "supposed" acid rain. Want to know what acid rain did to our lakes? Wiped them out! Yes it wiped out huge...

Then do less contracts... Selling premium is picking up nickels and dimes in front of steam roller! Pay attention no problems. Don't pay attention... Lots of problems... It is what it is...
