Keep in mind that before the mad heat seeking carry trade money pushed rates of EM notes lower than some corporates these EMs notes were giving off 25%+ If we see any kind of real global recession I wouldn't want my money in Turkish notes for any price.

If Romney does very well it certainly could have a negative impact on the markets given his national unfavorable ratings in head to head with either democrat. If McCain does very well it could give the market a boost. HRC and Obama doesn't really matter.

Something that I never see talked about is the deluge of selling that will occur if a Dem looks likely to win the white house. They have committed to rolling back the Bush tax cuts which means that cap gains taxes will increase drammatically. All those baby boomers that have their pension tied...

Watch Bush kill any chance McCain has for election. President Obama, get used to the sound of it.

Apparently SGs best trader was chargeed with unwinding the position! Hah, most of these traders at IBs would fall flat on their face if they faced the long odds that retail traders do. Here's basically how they should have unwound the trade. 1. Bought a huge quantity of puts. 2. Let the...

Lifetime supply of black jeans and t shirts.

BAC has a $10K monthly ACH limit also, has had for at least a year, nothing unusual about that.

Thanks for the link Banjo. These companies might be worth a serious look if this new technology pans out. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2005/10/19/oh-canadas-oil-sands.aspx Hey Pabst! Yeah, love the link Deep fried. 2faced, don't get your point but looked at your last 10 posts...

Sounds like you are talking about the "Zone".

Some of the greatest macro traders are think type traders. The ones that succeed are the ones that a) have enough education or intelligence to think somewhat correctly, AND b) have excellent money and trade management skills, AND c) have a realistic assesment of the time frame they need to be...

Whenever traders talk about needing big balls I just hear people who are clueless about money and risk management talking.

Without context this is just meaningless drivel. Education and Experience is what teaches us that what we see is often not what we get. You suggest the we should throw out experience that informs what you call our mind sight and just rely on our eye sight, what we see. Might as well throw out...

Crammer is a the PT Barnum of our era. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he posted on ET, lots of suckers on this site :D

On other thing about OEC, as you might imagine with what is a good scalping platform, their feed is fast. Pull up a chart of the ES in OEC and a chart of ES in Esignal and you will see what I mean (anyone scalping using esignal is at a serious disadvantage), about a .5 second lag.

If they did something like that it would kill the mortgage market. Who would loan anyone any money if they knew that the government can just step in and change their terms at will. It would also crash the equity of anyone involved with mortgages as all earnings would disappear and likley wreck...

I use OEC as a back up account for hedging and scapling against my core position and the low margins are helpful in that regard. I use IB as my main trading vehicle because it doesn't offer low margins and therefore less risk. One mitigating factor with OEC is that they only allowed the low...

There are many ways to make money in the market. Personally I find it helpful to try and figure out where we are in a the conomic cycle. These positions that you build over a period of weeks and sometimes months and you stay in and manage for months are the ones that in my experience yeild above...

Target 2 reached 1365. Holding QQQQ, EEM, GS, and HPQ calls all green. Will close Treasury puts today and start scaling out of the calls.
