Maybe not. It depends on what Putin calculated the capture of Crimea was worth. I hate to be cynical, but Puting positioned thousands of troops in position to take the Crimea under the guise of safety precautions against terrorists. No outcry from ...
Russia announces sanctions against US, including asset freezes and US visa bans
- wildbill2u commented Mar 20, 2014
Looks to me that Russia beat Obama to meaningful sanctions and freeze. With all the discussion about freezing the assets of the few Russian oligarchs, does anyone think they didn't move their money out of US jurisdiction before Obama acted? Reminds ...

Haven't the Japanese had their own share of bad economic data lately? Aren't they still struggling with transparency over the nuclear plant explosion? Doesn't their economy resting on exports more than most economies and won't a expensive Yen hamper ...

Interesting post yesterday on "Who Is Short Eur/USD and Where are their stops" taken from nine banks advisories. It's still available on FF. Of course, they may be lying to their clients. :-)

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Declines Moderately

Bad news for the dollar results in Eur/USD dropping 50 pips. I didn't have a position but was poised to take a short if it went above 137.70. I believe the short position on the Euro is warranted on the medium to long term, but this ...

I hear that. They also widen the spreads over the weekend so if your trade happens to spike on opening (as it usually does) toward your stop order you have even less margin for error. The only solution to this problem is to seriously increase your ...
OANDA US Client Profitability Q4 Decline, Technology or Macro Driven? Executive Response
- wildbill2u commented Jan 30, 2014
Been trading with Oanda since 2005. Their argument for widening spreads at news time has always been that they do it in order to reduce the number of transactions to prevent log jams and congestion. Since electronic orders go at the speed of light, ...

I made some good pips on GBP/JPY last week and thought I was doing good--until today when I happened to check a couple of pairs I never trade==GBP/Aud and GBP/NZD --and saw they moved about 500 pips Thur/Friday. Oh well, those weren't my pips. They ...
Time To Sell EUR/USD; Stay Long USD/JPY - BofA Merrill
- wildbill2u commented Nov 22, 2013
Interesting that USD/JPY ranged all day within 30 pips while Eur/JP and GPB/JPY kept making new highs with moves of about 130 pips for the day. What is holding back the USD/JPY?

IMHO any improvement in the US confidence in the economy has to come from a resolution in the Obamacare situation. A massive new government program which affects 1/6 of the economy is just coming on line--or rather off line--and ordinary people, ...

All About the Shutdown, and How to Trade It
- wildbill2u commented Sep 20, 2013
We just heard the One say that our debt ceiling has no relationship to debt. If he says it, it must be true. I suppose that will go down with "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow" as momentous truths.

USD/JPY: Trading the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index
