Buy 10-yr notes, sell bunds. Hold til rates cross.

What was with the delayed reaction rally today, did some other news item come out at around noon est besides philly?

God is in the details. You can pigeonhole any part of the country just about anyway you like, but leading a satisfying life comes down to the little pleasures that just grow as a part of you. The ultimate upshot to the city is that there is something for just about everyone, everyday --...

You can take some of your own advice, you know? Warning individual traders on another thread that currency futures are "totally unsuitable" for their needs due to "excessive leverage" was a pretty closed-minded statement from someone with an agenda, no? I don't know about you, but me...

However it plays out in relation to a carry trade liquidation, you are certainly not "hedged" against the dollar.

If you are long carry trade via short yen with everyone else, then offsetting with long CHF won't protect you.

Just that some of you sound really myopic, to each his own time frame I guess.

Crikey! Where next, Chinatown? We could be there and back by the time you finish your reply.

Oh sry, didn't mean to bring up another cross (points at Ivan).

To be honest I'd only trade gbp/jpy if I happened to get 2 separate trade ideas for each that happened to overlap -- the entries would likely never occur simultaneously. I've tried "hedging" in the past but I think it just makes me less attentive to my original position. What I look for in a...

Yes, I think that is a more accurate statement, and fits here as well. He is always looking on the bright side, many times to his own detriment -- the ultimate "non-worrier". The type who usually takes a long time to figure out he is being taken advantage of by others, yet even when he...

That's pretty much dead on, he is not an excessively cheerful nor annoyingly exuberant person either -- just a very good sense of humor about everything. But I was wondering if he is the way he is because of some slight chemical imbalance, there must be some complementary medical condition to...

I don't mean manic-depressive or bipolar -- just someone who cannot process sadness or has great difficulty in feeling down. Otherwise, the person is normal in every other respect -- any term for it?

Eat like bird and crap like elephant. No free money . . .

I lived on the upper west side for 2 years in a brand new building, the first time we spoke to our neighbor who had moved in the same month as I did was the week we were both moving out lol. The city is made for people who hate people, where else can you be amongst 2 million others and still...

That was a 15 pip move. What if the yen were to vault 800 pips over a weekend?
