im with you suntrader, this is how i have started to view the currency situation lately - USD seems to have the most problems priced in. but this is a tough situation to be buying dollars, we could be waiting for the reversal for quite a while. i ...

AUD - next in line for a kick in the groin

good point dave. this global credit squeeze seems to be in its infancy, and it has proven it can spread across large ponds. i dont see much reason it will be contained to the US and UK. let me know if you come up with any ideas on timing, i will do ...

AUD - next in line for a kick in the groin

just goes to show if you talk long enough you will contradict yourself LOL given greeny's history of being a timid regulator, i get the feeling he doesnt really give a damn about the fraud, its grey area crap anyway. one of the main reasons i loved ...

greenspan still has excellent timing

in the 60mins interview, he said he did not want regulate the fraud. he actually said he was aware of the subprime fraud long ago (they did an investigation or something) but he did nothing about it because it would have taken too much effort.

was disapointed with jon stewart on this one. he is a conspiracy freak or something, i didnt like his tone with the old man. reminded me of the time he freaked out on CNN. i do love the daily show for the writers though

greenspan still has excellent timing

yeah half point suprised the hell out of me too, especially when they took the discount rate with it. i expected bernanke to be much more steady with the policy, either things are worse than i thought or bernanke is softer than i thought. oddly, i ...

wow, what a day of trading. feels like i ran a marathon LOL. in all my markets i musta made 50 trades! wont forget this one for a while

Trading Sep, 18th Fed's rate statement

not to defend the fed here, but why does there have to be someone to blame? doesnt everyone know that things can go horribly wrong without anyone being at fault? seems like the media's job is to find where to point the finger, yet problems occur so ...

look at my profile picture (trying to help him out with book sales) seriously though, greenspan is one of my idols. guys like him, jp morgan, alexander hamilton, i have such admiration for these great financial figures. mabe its the ...

wow, well said.

greenspan still has excellent timing

yeah on 60 mins he was telling the story of how they met. he invited her back to his appartment to check out his essay on the great depression. musta been one hell of an essay!!!

greenspan still has excellent timing

haha! perfect! i was stunned to hear him admit its true!! bernanke is screwed now, he was probably pissed when he heard that i can just imagine the next senate testimony... "Mr. Bernanke, are you intentionally trying to confuse me?"

greenspan still has excellent timing

well as fed chief he was paid something like 150K per year, his history shows that he isnt money hungary. but his publisher probably is! LOL btw, i thought of another highlight... did anyone else hear greenspan say "mission accomplished" after being ...

greenspan still has excellent timing

oh another good part of the interview is when he talked about interest rates "now and then". this was very important i believe. he said that he was able to lower rates "at will" because there was no fear of inflation. he went on to say that bernanke ...

greenspan still has excellent timing

wow! that was an AMAZING interview. its unbelievable how sharp greeny is, his every answer seemed like it was thought about for days. my favorite part is when he said that GM and Ford should focus on making good cars instead of worrying about the ...

greenspan still has excellent timing

good point NFX... i just reread the statement a few more times and it does seem they have shifted toward the growth side of the mandate (btw, i do realize its a dual mandate, i just mentioned inflation because worked better with the point i was ...

Do Not Yell At Me For Discussing Fundamentals

ah. yeah im not so concerned about the volatility, my position sizing pretty much makes every market behave the same with respect to risk. though the wild markets are certainly more fun to trade

USFE to list forex futures. Can we have your views on this?

btw, the reason im so big on this "signal is the same as a cut" idea is because perception is actually reality. take inflation for instance...the fed is every bit concerned about inflation expectations as they are true inflation! perception is ...
