Define "lurking", pls... I visit ET with roughly the same frequency as before (maybe a little less often). It's fair to say that I get involved in a lot fewer conversations these days, but that's simply because a) I have been increasingly busy; and b) I don't find a lot of the conversations...

What's stopping you then, amico? You clearly have access to them Internets, so pls feel free...

I can only imagine that you were referring to me, amico? Is there anything I can assist with?

Yeah, so your trade overall sounds quite reasonable...

Yeah, your reasoning makes sense... If things work out, EURCZK is another EURCHF. The concern here is, obviously, that the mkt tested the Swiss a few times before EURCHF stabilized. We haven't yet seen a test of the CNB's resolve. Obviously, the other issue is that you're long EUR, which can...

Yeah, they certainly won't oppose it if EURCZK went above 27. However, as things stand now, it's not their intention to push it above 27. That's all I am suggesting and it's not to discourage you from doing the trade or anything like that.

A couple of facts that you may to keep in mind: 1) CNB has a target of EURCZK at 27 2) The vote in favor of intervention was probably quite close (given the closeness of the previous votes against) Not obvious.

Whoever it is that uses the liquidity you're providing... Your original question is too broad. There's all sorts of people in the mkt and they do things for all sorts of reasons. Personally (and I suspect I am not alone), I trade because it is my job and my chosen profession. I do it to...

This something the US govt does (and has done) routinely. For countries where the US has diplomatic or military strategic interests, the USAID-guaranteed issuance has always been the proverbial carrot.

I am not having a bit of fun with you. I have stated my opinions, such as they are. As to the petition, again, like the example I have given. Suppose the petition asked me about the right of Americans to bear arms or the right of Jews in Israel to circumcise? I, in all honesty, would sign...

You haven't read it carefully enough, it seems... Pls note I specifically said this: This is relevant due to what I believe was the context of the original article. Specifically, to the best of my knowledge, the anti-FGM campaigns in the UK are looking to eradicate FGM globally...

Good for you and wish y'all the best... My point is precisely that, regardless of anyone's personal views on the matter, it's your country and your laws. Nobody should be able to dictate to you which of your customs practiced in your own country are "acceptable" and which are not.

Pls see above...

Erm, you're confused, AAA... I am on your side in this, but I believe in applying this logic in a consistent fashion. Specifically, I believe that it's your inalienable and fundamental right as a society to make your own laws and to abide by them. So if the law of your land permits you to...

It's complicated, isn't it? In the case of slavery I would probably have to think long and hard about the specific circumstances. What if the petition in question was about the support for the "barbaric" American custom of possessing firearms?

If there is a law in my country against this practice, I would not sign it. If there is no law, I see no reason why I shouldn't. My understanding of the context is that this is about FGM globally, rather than in the UK. Again, I appreciate that this is a difficult issue, but I really have a...

I would sign this petition. While I understand the subject is controversial, I don't really see why I should be telling other people that their customs, no matter how barbaric in my subjective view, are wrong.

Well, with all due respect, AAA... If you don't follow domestic UK news, how can you form an adequate judgement on the matters that you're offering opinions on? You may (or may not) want to take my word for it, but I can only repeat what I said previously. You are mistaken.

You're simply mistaken. I have absolutely no idea where you get this impression that people (and the politicians) are quiet about provocations conducted by islamic extremists.
