Plofkip replied Apr 10, 2013I got nervous after all those flat hours yesterday and closed my position at 99,1 for a 565 pip win (about 18 hours ago now). It will surely go through 100, but I begin to feel that there will be a while more fiddling about this side of the big ...

Yep, looks like this week's opening would have been a good time to enter long, but I'm steering a careful course between my account balance and my broker's margin requirements. If I added more longs and it went the wrong way, I would have to add to ...

Yeah, a lot of these "breaking" one-liners here are misleading. I don't know why the FF news editors select them.

I hope not (I hope that our German friend is right), but these things do tend to develop the momentum of self-fulfilling prophesies.

The statement that the country "didn't ask for a bail out and officials keep confirming they will not ask", has applied in the past to every country which now has a bailout. "-)

Interesting article. Thx. He doesn't mention the relative weights he gives to the proxies he has chosen for the different aspects of crisis vulnerability. The weight applied to size-of-the-financial-sector might need to be 0,99. PK

Spain's 2-Year Yield Drops Below 2%, First Time Since Oct 2010 - Bloomberg

My God! I'm a Euro bull. I'm sure it will recover and survive, but I would NEVER lend the Spanish government money for a 2% return. Who in God's name is risking their clients' money for this kind of return ... in Spain? Am I missing something? I ...

I haven't made a close study of them, but so far I haven't been able to infer anything useful from these SNB releases of "Important monetary policy data". :-) :-) I never mastered scalping, but I am still long at 1,23 (from two months ago and a long ...

If you are referring to the CHF 281.665 million figure reported here: url I don't think a fall in this figure necessarily implies funds flowing out of Switzerland. By my reading, this is the value of deposits held at the SNB by Swiss banks. It ...

:-) Today's candle wick is going to mark a higher-high (that's already a fact) and we haven't previously been above 97 since August 2009. I think we're done with significant retracement for the time being (that was the story of the second half of ...

Thanks, interesting read. I take the point about resistance becoming support and vice versa, but I think that (1) this mechanism implies action based upon collective memory, and (2) collective memory fades over time. We all have access to monthly or ...

What about the ECB, the BoE and the SNB, almost every major central bank on the planet? I'm not following what the Fed's up to, but while the US is running an 8% budget deficit ( url ) and the USD is the global reserve currency it amounts to the ...

Bravo! It the offshore tax-dodge industry were to be dismanted, it would fill up a few public finance deficits pronto AND allow the grasping b@st@rds at our finance ministries to introduce more reasonable rates of income tax.
