This is highly irregular. A central bank trading their currency. People find it a curiosity, perhaps a conspiracy.

SF Fed Asks, “How Much Is Inequity Costing Us?”

Animal Farm.

SF Fed Asks, “How Much Is Inequity Costing Us?”

I consider them to be one and the same. But that's just me. Everyone else thinks there is a difference.

SF Fed Asks, “How Much Is Inequity Costing Us?”

The Elites need to be seen to be doing something, anything. Note that Yellen accepts payment from hedge funds to give speeches. Now poor babies are crying. url

Thurs: Yellen will convene meet w/SEC, Fed, FedNY, CFTC to discuss volatility

Thanks for pointing that out. I find it disagreeable when someone advocates a position that is fundamentally correct, but gets some things so very wrong or just irrelevant. He should have just stopped after the first paragraph and his credibility ...

Who Gets Harmed When You Ban Short Selling?

Oh, OK, thanks. Do they realise that they aren't playing in the sandpit anymore? Elsewhere I read that pension funds invest in hedge funds. Should the schoolchildren go bust - this is a given - there will be consequences that their three neurons do ...

We're worried a U.S. dollar short squeeze could extend further, strategist says

Are they hedging? I'm not confident that going naked short in silver would be a prudent investment strategy at this time. I know nothing about investing, although I am learning about the cowboys who manage hedge funds. I often get spam emails from ...

We're worried a U.S. dollar short squeeze could extend further, strategist says

A short squeeze? How does that happen in bonds? Its a freaking gigantic market. I know that 7 trillion of US bonds are maturing this year. Should they not roll, that would be interesting. Some dude at the Fed may get repetitive strain injury in ...

We're worried a U.S. dollar short squeeze could extend further, strategist says

Hello Guest. If the price went to $10 there would be a significant chance that it could go to $1. And then to zero. But as I said, it would have to happen quickly, of course, like within a timeframe of a few days at best, at worst sometime prior to ...

GameStop short sellers are still not surrendering despite nearly $20 billion in losses this...

Despite what she says, none of that is new by any means. In fact she is relying on the audience to not know their history of economic thought dating back to the late 1700s. Maybe you'd be kind enough to fill in the blanks? But what would I know - a ...

Economic growth has 'devastating cost to nature', review finds

Attenborough got this bit totally right - 'governments "exacerbate the problem by paying people more to exploit nature than to protect it'.

Economic growth has 'devastating cost to nature', review finds

Yeah, SNB, everyone knows you deliberately play silly buggers with your currency. As if bureaucrats know better than the market.

Jordan: We Estimate That Swiss GDP Will Decline Roughly 3% In 2020

I'm totally confused what a squeeze is in FX. Its really only applicable when there is a stock of the asset "small" enough, like say GME. Which is quite big (edit, checked, somewhere between 1 and 20 billion), but a teaspoon/tiny compared to any ...

We're worried a U.S. dollar short squeeze could extend further, strategist says

I don't understand your definition.

Who Gets Harmed When You Ban Short Selling?

I dunno. Define what you mean by "selling order flow" and I might have an opinion, but otherwise not.

Who Gets Harmed When You Ban Short Selling?

Hello, Guest - Some of the most insidious examples of manipulation/collusion have been quite transparent/open and public, nobody was coerced unduly. I speak not of fraudulent behaviour. However it may still be unlawful. That is a topic for another ...

Who Gets Harmed When You Ban Short Selling?

Must add short squeeze to my favourite phrase of 2021 so far. 2020 had its fair share of things (mostly forgettable) to say instead of "um, err". Just slip "short sqeeze" into a sentence whenever possible.

We're worried a U.S. dollar short squeeze could extend further, strategist says

Systemic risk if brokers go bust. That's gunna happen? Maybe, if they are somehow fraudulent. RobinHood borrowed dosh to legitimately cover its capital requirements in the normal course of business. Let Hedge Funds go bust. Who cares. Oh, Yellen has ...

Reddit trading frenzy could cause ‘systemic event’ in markets, strategist says

I don't know Jerome Powell's essay, and I probably don't need to to know that anything the Reserve Bank of Australia comes out with these days is totally pathetic and lacking in any intelligence or integrity, being managed by Elites. This is not how ...
