    Shortie: What do you think of USD/JPY ? I just bought 25K at 85.25 area. I bought for a quick profit, but the daily is still pressuring it down.

    Weekly Poll: August Doldrums?

    :) . She got people by "surprise". I wish I held to the over leveraged short EUR/USD. It tanked today. I recall your asking how to play the long dollar? If you got in, you must be laughing to the bank. :p A special mention to Piezo. I have not seen him, but he nailed the bottom of the...

    1. I think his earlier conclusion that his concern should be focused on not getting hit is correct. You achieve that when volatility is lower (ocean is rough but not too rough), and by doing bear spreads because when volty rises it means the market went down which is exactly what he wants for...

    Nuns, and Mary (Mother of Jesus)

    Nuns are always polite, modest, speak softly, and project goodness. They seem not to be noticed by society, even when they walk in twos or in a group. They do good work for other people. I think they are good humans. They may not be recognized the way they should by society for the good they...

    The Meaning of A Trading Edge

The answer was not meant to offend anyone, but rather to make people read unusual answers. I have no objection that it gets removed. I hope that my other...
