NZ PM Key to stand down as PM; says he will not stand for re-election in 2017

Here is another massive move in a market where the potential of the move was fully telegraphed BEFORE it happened. Note, I am not saying the big up move was definitely coming, I am saying the very real potential for a big upmove was very much there, ...

1. What's the point in trading if you're scared of losing much of your money on an event which rarely by its definition happens? This is a thread about black swans not fake black swans that people so often scream whenever there's a big move that ...

I agree, that using a negative balance protection broker is the way to go if you're worried about the potential of a black swan. But as Momba intelligently points out - they will probably double deal you. Always remember that in the game of trading ...

Why bother trading if you're worried about black swans? In order to completely nullify a freak occurrence of a black swan you will have to trade so small it's not even worth trading, ie on a good year you might make 2% if you're lucky. In fact, why ...

How can anyone look 'innocent' when if wearing a suit you can still see tattoos? That is a sign if a real idiot, a complete fool (unless they're a proper biker or proper outlaw). One idea I have to speed up the courts is if you can see visible ink ...

The UK doesn't need a proper plan, or rather the best plan is to wait/stall because the EU hasn't got long to last in it's present form, probably less than 2 years. Then, everything can be ripped up and we go back to basics, ie free trade and free ...

I'm off, it's good to have a little bish-bosh on the Boards, all in good faith though. Happy to be proved wrong about the UK experiencing a mini-boom over the next few years re the Sterling weakness. Let's wait and see. Cliff, message me if you want ...

Like I said Cliff, stop whining about us poor uneducated little Englanders. The country made a democratic choice so we'll just have to live with the consequences, good or bad. We've survived many problems in the past including loads of currency ...

Cliff, it's life I'm afraid. I feel you're being taken in by the media, they love a good old fashioned scare story as in 'the majority of the UK are going to suffer a horrendous plight due to the weak currency'. Babies will be given away, 10% of the ...

They'll just have to adapt. The world owes me and them nothing. Sterling in 2000 was 1.74 to the Euro, 8 years later it was below 1.10 a 35% reduction. Life went on as normal. I didn't come across one person whinging or whining about Sterling's ...

Plus, everyone seems to take the view that a weak Sterling is 'bad' for the UK. Sure, it's bad for some but a weak Sterling is excellent for others. Winners and losers, 2 sides to the same coin, can't have one without the other. For me, I'm loving a ...

Yep, happy to stand by what I said. If there's one thing I've learned about economics it's to expect the unexpected. I always say that the markets are perverse and to be a success you have to embrace that perversity. Same with economics to a certain ...

Weak pound I believe will result in a mini-boom for the UK over the next few years. Yes, the UK imports more than it exports so people there are going to have to get used to buying less imports. However, competition is ferocious in the UK so I can't ...

Going lower solves in my opinion the number one reason most traders struggle - their profits are not much larger than their losses. This is because the nastiest stat/equation in trading. Risk 5 and to make (say 3:1) you've got to make 15. Double the ...

Yes, 100% correct there. You've got some people here, myself including say there really isn't that much to worry about. However, others are on much higher timeframes and then the risks are far more. For daily traders the risks of a 10 point move in ...

That's why it's so important to do some due diligence on your broker's finances as well as other investigations into who they are, their history, how long in business, WHERE are they located in the world and under which regulation. That's why ...

If you believe the risks of getting hit are 100% and the time-periods are now every 1-3 years then you only have one sensible action to take - retire from trading. I still maintain the Swiss wasn't a black swan. Yes it was a massive massive move but ...

True. The same could be said if a meteorite hits your home, ruined, smashed into 1001 pieces and if you're unlucky to be there, you're dead. Meteorites hit the world everyday. So you have to consider the probabilities of such an event. What's the ...
