wildbill2u commented May 12, 2015That's what I heard. And the commodity market is still soft. I think the Kiwi rebound will be a rally I will fade as a selling opportunity.

wildbill2u commented May 7, 2015It hasn't disappeared. It's merely hidden away in someone's Swiss bank account. Headline writers always seem to be amazed when these type of shenanigans occur in the financial world--which is strange since they happen with great regularity.

wildbill2u commented Apr 30, 2015Oh, I don't know, Bloomberg is pretty useless as well. Every headline seems to use the word 'unexpectedly' as an excuse for anything that happens, apparently to get them off the hook for making any predictions or errors.

wildbill2u commented Apr 13, 2015Everything in life is subject to cycles and politics. Remember when the USD/Chf went from 1.0172 below .84 a couple of months ago? Were you prepared? The only sure thing is that fundamental changes in geo/politics can ruin a currency. Anyone buying ...

wildbill2u commented Apr 13, 2015I'm awfully cynical when it comes to the Yen. Why do some call the Yen trades "the widowmaker"? In my opinion the Yen is too susceptible to manipulation by the members of "Japan, Inc." Would anyone care to bet whether he had bought a few trades ...

wildbill2u commented Apr 9, 2015Folks who say that countries can't repudiate foreign debts and survive should review their history. In the course of history there have been other nations that have repudiated foreign debt and survived. Mexico comes to mind as a country whose one ...

wildbill2u commented Apr 2, 2015When you owe the banks a reasonable amount of money, they own you and can dictate terms and rates. When you owe the banks an amount of money that cannot reasonably be repaid, you own them. What are the Eurocrats going to do--invade Greece and strip ...

wildbill2u commented Mar 27, 2015Which makes me wonder why you or I read any of the posts on this thread or site which is such a small sample of traders in a vast market. I suppose we are all just looking for reassurance that our own biases on trades are held by other morons. :-)

wildbill2u commented Feb 18, 2015I was fascinated by the 'floor' on the Eur/Chf for a while as it seemed to give a guarantee safety net to long trades. However, John Kicklighter of the Daily FX section of FXCM did express some caution and said that if the floor gave way it would ...

wildbill2u commented Feb 10, 2015In 13 states it is possible to get around $50,000 in benefits from government without working. That is about the average working wage for a couple in those jurisdictions--so for many it makes a lot of sense to stay home and relax without the stress ...

wildbill2u commented Feb 3, 2015Great opportunities to replicate the profits of yesterday in AUDUSD and NZD/USD when the short squeeze ends. You know these antipodean governments don't want their currencies to rise and they will revert to the reaction of their rate cuts. My take ...

wildbill2u commented Jan 28, 2015The Yen just keeps getting stronger and stronger against all currencies. It seems to me that this trend is not sustainable by Japan, either because of Abenomic policy or the inevitable problems of an expensive Yen. How can the Yen be considered a ...
