Chinese government have no religion and their practical god is two things: money and the stick. The US has the biggest stick, and the chinese government hoard money because they worship it. So as long as the US has the biggest stick, and the chinese government worship money, the chinese...

Did you people read carefully. The title is: "PBOC Says No Longer in China’s Interest to Increase Reserves" So it means money would flow somewhere else. So it could be coming to the USA! Shouldn't the dollar rise then?

If it was significant, currencies would be going wild. The dollar is gaining as I type this. Their aim is probably something else. I read somewhere that they bought gold at the top (around 1800). They sticked it to them.

The real question is then: why are they saying it? Is it an attempt to spread doubt about the dollar? If so shouldn't the US warn them diplomatically, and maybe also by flying some jets in the area?

Exactly! You saved me the typing. Conclusion: is china a liar?

The biggest liar is probably China. I would believe only what they do/can do, not what they say.

Which of two do not make a profit?

Why don't we look at asset classes, and identify where the money could go? 1. Interest on cash 2. Bonds 3. Gold and metals 4. Commodities 5. Stocks 6. Physical world: real-estate 7. Carry trade in currencies 8. Derivatives. Could we complete the list and analyze which are relatively...

Happy Thanksgiving!

People are not interested to know you were blown away, but they would be interested to read what you think blew you away, because the former has value only to you, the latter may have value to you and to them.

Reason: securities laws risk in the US + easy capital gain laws in Sing and HK. Sing and HK are similar (ruled by Chinese who were educated in western capitalism by the Britiish under the British rule of both).

Mav: I did not visit their site, but I think what the idea might be. It is to get a crowd/traffic for free, and monetize it (The wheat with money management, the rest of with ads). FaceBook: photos then monetize. Linked: CVs/links and then monetize, etc. Same game played with different ponies.

I think Warren is misunderstood. Let me give an example. This thread is about how to get money for trading/investing. The solution sought is essentially to pay some fee for maximum leverage, but the fees and interest are still a positive quantity (a number of times the risk free rate)...

If you are an engineer, you know the line: define problem, formulate it, design solutions, .... State the details of each step. Start with the one you like. One question though: why there are queues at airports, banks, etc? Is it because service rate is lower than arrival rate?

You have some real life stories. You must find trading "really free" of headaches. Maybe your past headaches is your edge, in the sense that you would view the stop loss as cheap compared to the real headaches in real life cases. I think I read something about oil wells in one of your posts...

I agree that no pain, no gain. The law, the documents, the votes, the money one puts in, etc, is what would keep everyone equal and in line. People would not fight too much for 1K each, but one never knows. You seem to have experience on the ground dealing with partners, so I value your...

Read about something called the Market Line. The stocks you talk about should be on that market line. So a hedge with say SPY is essentially something MINUS the same thing with exception of free rate, which would be short. So if a prop firm charges a spread, the free rate is hedged via this...

. What he said and what he thought may not necessarily be the same. We can check what he thought via what he did. He raised interest rates, so he thought it was a bubble. But it was not a bubble, it was a recession, which he did not see, and thought it was inflation, which he then turned...

When will the defeat be accepted, and blaming of others stop?

Luck, and survivor bias.
