Full whipsaw for anybody who sold euros on Monday, way up today and hitting new highs for the move. Dollar getting decimated against everything else on the planet. Silver now threatening $45/oz. I'm banking coin, but damn this is pathetic.

There is also easy money in any currency pair thats got AUD/NZD in it. Interest differential carry trade playing out all over again until the train comes off the tracks but not anytime soon.

Covered FCX puts at the open ... 50% gain.:cool: :D :)

Freaking nailed it to the minute! FCX also does a full whipsaw. Those put options will have collapsed at least 50% since I covered on Monday. Prepping to buy puts again soon.:D :cool: :p
 
BZF up 0.5% on my screen. Up for the week after steep fall Monday and just below an all-time high.

Greek 2 years up another 128 basis points, at 22%. :p Markets too busy selling dollars to notice. Might be another shot to short the euro (not me this time).

Silver moving (up) in $1 increments/day now. Just crossed $45. :) Starting to think about an exit for my SLV calls now.
 
The US government is saying they will cooperate with the pokersites to get the players money back. It looks like my cash is safe
 
Shorted some euros at $1.4507. Strictly an "I've had a series of big winners and am bored bet."

Didn't buy puts because the pricing is ridiculous. If I knew a bit more about options, there would probably be a way to make a bearish bet using them w/o getting blown on the high vol.

I'd love to buy some OOM puts on the aussie as well right now, but those seem ridiculously valued too.
