This was not written by GS. It was written by his online girlfriend/therapist. Nonetheless, good post.

Go ahead and guarantee. I'm happy to take your money away from you.

AAPL is headed to $1000 in the next year, "I guarantee it!" :D :D :D

That would require him to admit that his entire way of thinking about the world economy and markets has been completely wrong over the last few years. Sorry, not going to happen.

Thanks for the advice, HateTheRisk.

Yes, I am playing the same game as you. Getting from $100 to $1000 is pretty easy. Going $1000 to $2k and beyond seems a lot harder. However, I don't max the leverage as you do. I grind it out over a period of a few weeks.

He claims he went short at 1731.27 and covered at 1720.05. I don't recall XAU/USD ever going as high as 1731.27 today, so I am calling bullshite!!

Ha ha ha! Took me a few hours, but I finally caught on!

GrandSuperPooper is a basement dwelling, pipsqueak. At worst, he'll get a spanking from his Mommy upstairs.

In that case, sorry for questioning your opinion. Why didn't you tell me earlier? :D How did you satisfy the work experience requirement? I spent a decade working as a computer programmer. Starting "investing" during the tech bubble. Went to university to complete a Computer Math...

Newwrldmn, not sure I agree with you about the CFA. Honestly, if you match it with a good quality degree, it should give you a large leg up in an employment search. Particularly, if you're looking for a more meaningful position rather than being stuck in your local bank branch selling their...

Hey GrandSuperPooper, I'm back in the money on those XAU trades! Should I take the profits and go short? :D And what was that poke you gave me this morning at 1707 when you guarenteed it would go lower?? :D "Oh Dear!"

Beau and newwldmn, ill reply your comments shortly. Typing from phone. GrandSuperPooper, are you losing money again?

I was just curious. I have a couple of years of self-training to do, but I too plan to complete the CFA exam sequence. I have no desire whatsoever to sit in a bank and sell mutual funds so I was rather interested to see your path.

On a different note, as I understand it, you are effectively self-employed, managing your own mutual fund. Does this qualify for the required work experience for the CFA?

Good for you. How's you Covestor account doing?

I'm talking about gold. Greece has a big impact on the Euro, and recently Euro and XAU have had a strong correlation. Furthermore, the long term trend of XAU is up. Trading against this is dangerous. Anyway, I really don't believe in these chart formations. Everybody seems to use them...

Aren't we back up to where you shorted it near 1719? Oh dear! We're in a range, guys, and it will likely stay in that range until we get a clear idea about Greece.

Beau, remember that candle formation I was telling you about? There it is again on the XAU/USD 5 minute chart. Sure enough, another breakout upwards. How long it lasts, remains to be seen. May only be good for scalping. Is it only good for 7 points this time? Oh well.

Added to long at 1707.34 at 8:38AM EST. I now have 12 units of gold. Yes, this is a tiny position for you bigshots, but I'm still a small fish. New average price: 1727.5 Stop is still 1650. Notice that this is the bottom of that large jump up starting near Jan 25th. I will get out if we...
