Another reason why EMs are going to get hit. The need to keep their currencies somewhat pegged to the $ as it falls so that they don't lose their export business and also so their companies can survive given how tight margins were before the $ started its latest foray lower. Bu wait they need to...

Yes what is happening is that Foreign buyers increased their US$ holdings from $2.4 Trillion in 2002 to $7Trillion in 2007 and now they are getting shafted. Does the Fed really expect them to sit quietly by while their investments get eviscerated, at a minimum you would expect that at least...

The risk is not inflation it is deflation. Profit margins in the EMs (where most of the stuff the US imports comes from) are already razor thin. A falling $ will have the effect of putting many EM companies out of business unless their government can weaken their own currency. The problem is...

This why today was such a great opportunity to go short. The points made by Rogers and Greenspan will start to sink in as people think about the implications of the Fed move beyond the one day surge in equities.

There's stupid, and then there's ET stupid. Another one on the ignore list. Its getting so that I pull up a thread and there are page and pages of nothing, better than pages and pages of inane drivel though to get to a post that makes sense from a reasonable person such as those by AustinP in...

Mainly because an under reported consequence of the US weak $ policy is that it squeezes margins in EM. Most EM firms are operating on margins far narrower than developed nation firms, they are also having to content with very high commodity prices. In addition I think the US consumer is on its...

Adding substantially to position intiated at 136.here at 144.56. Stop 148. Target 90.

It might have been the closing out of a position but doubt it was for a profit given that the option has been losing value for months. There is always one of these buyout rumors that happens the week of expiration on some broken stock where it gets pumped, a bunch of lemmings rush in and buy...

Gold teeth.

He's just a kid, cut him some slack. Sure he has a long long way to go but at least he is in the game and having some fun with it. Doubt any serious money is involved and probably some good lessons soon to be learned at what is the best time to learn them, when you are young and don't have much...

AS, note the downgrades by SGS today.

Thanks BB.

I like the OEC DOM but their commissions are too high and their products are limited. Anyone know if there is a similar Dom that works with TWS where I can use the fancy Dom for scalping but still use TWS for everything else without causing some kind of crash using both programs open...

Hi Anek: I remember seeing you in action during a stint in the pure tick room, very impressive. How much does time frame matter? What I mean is do you think that you could achieve the same results in a higher time frame using the same setups? Thank you for being so generous to post, I...

The market maker loop hole is the biggie and as I said back in 05 until this loophole is closed it is a losing battle to try and fight the naked shorts. The fact that it took over a year for the SEC to even acknowledge this is indeed pathetic and disgraceful.
