ow geez. yes 3 different languages. english , spanish, portugese... brasilian (yes i spell it with an s) debt is 40% of the market. Although i only consider myself fluent in the first two. and the minimum order i take is $1/2 million or the equilavent in the local currency (colones...495:1). the average order size is $2.0mm. pretty standard for interbank trading.

why is this so hard to believe? This is par for EM bond guys. havent any of you done anything with your lives? i know 10 other guys that are just like me. I am nothing special...but i dont fall in the newbie category as accused.

moderator........man just kill this thread. The intention was to try to learn from the market correction today. now these guys want to see my resume for defending myself....

Not at all... you have a pathological need to scream it from the rooftops. You're all winners!

It's all cool, though. No hard feelings. :p

i for one went to 100% cash not knowing what was going to happen. i think it was the right thing to do. turned out not to be very bad so far (as of 10:00 est).

but i was long about $65k, and lost $800 before i got out. could have been worse.

I am going to wait and see what happens before i go long again.

anyone else?

never claimed to be a big dog. My career and my trading account are two very seperate items.

i wisely only have a small portion of my risk capital in my active trading account. And I have very tight stop loses. that is one of the bigger losses i have taken in this account....yes. losing $800 in 5 minutes is not my idea of a good time. i would like to have that $800 back.

laugh all you want. i am only 30. Every dime i ever made was after college. and i took a year off to travel , and 2 years to starta company (which went broke) It isnt easy to have $60k in pure risk capital while still being diversified (i have no house payment car payment, and dont own anyone a dime) in that amount of time. I worked hard for that money.

You piss on $60k? man i wouldnt piss on $5. i know some very very wealthy people that wouldnt piss on $60k. Where i live, a family of 4 can live on that for 10 years if they are frugal.

you should respect your money more...one day it may all be gone.

where do you live? i guess 200 each isnt that cheap.lol

with everything selling today i just wonder what theheck is going on with the big money. these kind of days i just stay away and trade cattle and hogs.:)
 
Where can I live on 60k? Will that get me a nice house, and not have to worry about kidnappings, cartel related murders, and high crime rates?
