Everything is a copy or a close resemblance to the original. In fact, some copies have copies themselves. Lacoste for example, has as it's logo a crocodile facing the right. Crocodile is another company making the same products (garments) with a ...

What's the best 5 year investment?

My 2 cents free — Guys it is in the daily EMAs (22,33,44). Take a look, you will see the price has been away from the EMA for a bit too long (Sep2). It has now touched the EMA22 and depending on what the GDP puts out later in the week, will ...

World Stock Market Performance/Last 6 Months

I trade on a low leverage and typically hold for longer periods of time. My guide is the daily EMAs (22,33,44). What I look for is how far away from these lines, the currency is. The further away it is, the longer it takes to breach the EMAs. The ...

Yes, used to be when the Euro went to the 1.55s, the Pound made 2.00s. But now it looks like the Pound is stuck in the 1.60s when/if the Euro gets to the 1.55s again.

RMB — I don't quite agree. Over a 5 year period, I expect to see it double to call it a good investment. this means from the current 6.8 to 3.4 to the greenback. I don't see what a strong military has anything to do with it. Russia, Japan and ...

Arya, Bumi Resource was IPOed at 4,500 in July 1990 and is presently 2,750? Good grief! Priced at 8,500 in June 2008. Just goes to show how much of an impact the meldown had. Anyway can foreigners trade stocks on the Jakarta stock-exchange?

World Stock Market Performance/Last 6 Months

October — Typically it's on a Friday, so if it does happen, it should have been on the 23rd or maybe one is on the way for the 30th. Most stocks stay flat for a year or 2 and then shoot up 30-50% in a matter of days. I think this would apply ...

In my view, China buys gold is a story the bulls have created. These days anything with a China angle sells and that's what the bulls are exploiting. China is as far from transparent as can be in this regard. In fact, if they were to shift their USD ...

Gold Discussion

Long term buy and hold (or hope) — I think this mantra has run its course. Many are caught in this, never to recover. My MPF (401k equivalent) from 2002 is worth less than what I put in. Fortunately, I opted for the guaranteed fund based on ...
