My general 2 cents on the above discussion: i believe you have to choose your market and time frame to "fit" your method. For example, if your method is trend following, don't use it on markets that don't historically trend! They are not going to magically start trending just because you start...

filled on an overnight stop: long 8652

Always bet against the central banks.

Always use hard stops. Mental stops are only for those who are trading in v large size, which i don't believe means anyone here.

Well done!

Been trading the Dax, which has been rather good :D

I fear you are the one back pedalling since you only need to look at your own posts to see what you have stated. You stated London, not Chelsea or anywhere else. I have no idea. You must again think i'm telepathic, I can only deny this so many times. I like John Cleese, v funny. Not...

You're quoting the Sun newspaper!!!! Possibly the cheapest and tackiest of all the tabloids in the UK. The NY Post is like the WSJ in comparison. The UK used to be powerhouse, it was the wealthiest country in the world in 1918 or so, had to bailed out in 1975 by the IMF, will it regain the...

My dear chap, it was you who didn't state which part of London you were referring to... it would therefore seem that you thought i had powers of telepathy, i certainly don't though!

With all due respect to zdreg, the thread should be closed. The answer is emphatically no. Another thread asking the same question regarding the United States would be of more interest.

I don't disagree. If there is free healthcare, education then there is less motivation to do stuff. OTOH, we do have many startups which become world class companies (e.g. Autonomy), but not in the same numbers as the US. The US is far more entrepreneurial. Mind you, from what I read, the US...

Of course, you were! If you only said so in your post. Nevertheless, most property even in that area is owned by locals. If you wish to refute me then please provide a link to a reputable source. Yes, i assumed they would, simply because you have no answers!

I can only assume Americans have to work harder and forgo holidays, not because they love their jobs, but rather to make some more money in order to pay off the rather large debts they owe to financial institutions.

More inaccuracies (you may as well just delete your posts grandeluxe, this is becoming tiresome!) 1. Most of the 1000 richest on the Sunday Times List are British citizens, not foreigners. The most richest who may not be British citizens are global anyway, nationality is not so important...

11 public holidays in the US. Count them, buddy!

Grandluxe also posted a link to an interview with Madonna (2001!) who says there are "bank holidays every minute" in the UK. However, there are more public holidays in the US than there are in the UK.

+1 to quiet1. Grandluxe quotes an article where the the guy interviewed refuted it: "The Times claims that Mr Tata said British managers were “lazy”. At no stage in the interview did Mr Tata make this comment. This entire interview was recorded and the transcript will confirm the...

All of this is bullshit. Candy brothers!!! :p The vast majority of property in London is owned by Brits. Define foreign company. There's plenty of manufacturing in the UK. Do you even know which country is the biggest manufacturer of goods in the world?

Must be busy :D .

Interesting, i didn't realise we had "proper" fund managers posting in here.
