Yep, game on !!! I will be wearing a yellow hat !

You need a few pennies to have a decent life in London. S.W London is the best ( Chelsea, Wimbledon, Fulham, Southfields, Putney). The Eastern European women have certainly increased the stock of tall, slim, clean toothed women around. But if you are actually trading day-to-day then TIME ZONE is...

The saddest part is these posts come up during market hours, when there is serious action going on ! Today is a perfect example. One does wonder if these folks actually know how to click BUY/SELL.

Actually its good news, simply means this will take more time to settle, and hopefully creates more trading opportunities. Its either you are in this to trade or to have quasi academic discussions about the current situation. I know what l am after :)

Would you have traded an event like 9/11 say if it had happened here in London on Canary Wharf ?

Hell no NEVER EVER EVER would tell anyone, including a buddy of 8years l used to work with on a research desk. WHAT !!!! Tell someone your great trade ideas and methods !!!! WHAT ! People are just too lazy to do their own homework. This is one of highest paying professions you could ever do and...

There is no such firm, but IG Index are Okayish... Unfortunately most retail punters do not realise that on some spread betting instruments the leverage is around 1:85, compounded by lack of basic position sizing and risk management. CFD's brilliant especially if you do earnings plays and...

It helped me deal with aggression, uncertain constantly changing environments (flop, turn, the river) and accepting a loss no matter how good my odds were initially ( AA vs 55 on a board with 5 , Q, 7, J,9). Of course there is also joy of crushing to death an opponent face to face :D , whereas...

Am short K+S , Bloomberg code: SDF, they are dead, kinda reminds of what happened to Nickel recently :D P.S. My analysis, thoughts and trading thesis for SDF may be wrong , but as a mere mortal l am willing to be wrong and to cut my loss :cool:

The Economist is all you need if you do Global Macro (long/short). Fortunately most people (both retail and professional) seem unable to read in between the lines or make decisions themselves. All you need is a shred of evidence and you research then smash your target. Have you ever watched CSI...

Enough of the quasi academic chat, l challenge you folks to create a viable macro trade based on your views on this thread, using an exchange traded instrument with central clearing (besides EWZ)... :D P.S. Can't wait for the lynching to start

Rather than take anything as its said you have shown some useful traits required of us in this industry...... 1. Independent thought - Checking the patent of a "guru" 2. Research - some folks don't even have public holidays dates for major international exchanges in their diaries :eek...

IMHO it was JP Morgan that was rescued...:cool:

Closed my TBSI short (opened at USD$5*.**) when it printed USD$**.**. Capesize rates (real driver for overall dry bulk sector) are looking mixed. Donno what they are smoking but steelmakers are accepting iron ore prices 95% higher than last year :eek: , maybe they know something we don't ? Will...

Coin flip, heads GOOG crashes, tails GOOG files for Chapter 11, also they have made it to the covers of Fortune, Businessweek, Time, Newsweek,The Economist thats the greatest jinx as it often indicates peak activity IMHO from PR people. Does not look as dangerous as RIMM on chart... P.S...

Predicting and sucessfully shorting a market crash especially in a publicly followed asset class like equities has BIG BRAGGING rights. Imagine telling your mates,grandchildren,mistress,grocer,cat,goldfish that you shorted the S&P an hour before it took a 250pt dump...:D But whats worse is...

I attempted suicide 29 October 2006 afternoon, stopped at 7 tablets. Its not a nice feeling.:( It was totally unrelated to trading but was comparing myself to others of my age group, but could not realise that being an immigrant from a 3rd World African country my life was simply not going to be...
