You got that right buddy. EVERY ONE of us is at risk of the most crazy event hitting us hard. And anyone who thinks otherwise is not thinking right.

Trip, this is where we disagree because as I said in my first post, financial history says whenever there's a currency peg there's always a risk it will break in the future, either by the market attacking it, or the Central Bank abandoning it. A ...

Yes there have been some nasty ones but they seem to be more due to market mechanics (computers activating stops with no thought or common sense) plus some chicanery thrown in. You can bet with FX on the chicanery part The thing to do is ...

It doesn't really matter what could lead to a big move, how much the market can move is far more important. Assuming you intraday trade, if you stress test for a move of 500 ticks (before being able to get out) that should be fine for 99% of the ...

The Swiss massacre was just that, not a Black Swan. Study your financial history because when there's a currency peg in action it's normally just a matter of time before its busted as with the Swiss. Everyone who lost, lost because they either ...

One premium grade Turkey out. Only to be replaced by another premium grade Turkey. Round and round in the circle of incompetence.

Whenever British people talk about property you can bet your mortgage on there being lots of EMOTION!

I agree, of course they push the prices around some of the time in their favour, but it's a competitive market so there are many failures as well. And for everyone who complains about the institutions why not try to use them instead of them using ...

But what happens if institution A wants to 'manipulate' prices lower in the thinner Asian session yet institution B wants their Asian desk to 'manipulate' prices higher? Someone is going to lose via their manipulations so manipulation only means ...

Here's an idea for the politicians worried about bots. Why not create a solid manifesto, one what will help and appeal to your potential voters and then campaign on that. Surely the people are clever enough to vote on the back of that, and your town ...

You're right Smike, even with a digital future it doesn't mean CCs can flourish. Right now for example we already have digital money which is tried and tested (digits in our bank accounts) and it's easy in a western country to live all year without ...

Like CCs or not the moves have been crazy and I'm not really talking about the recent 50% retracement, if anything that's normal for such a market. I'm talking about the move from a few $ to $20k. So why should the craziness stop now? I doubt it ...

Smike, I think you're taking all these posts far too personally, they're not really about you, and nobody cares about you either, nor do they care about me. You say to me 'don't tell me to remember' and I didn't. You said I called you a naive twat ...

Startling revelation that Smike. So let me get this right, when the sun is up in say Thailand the liquidity will be better in the Bht than it is when the big Thai banks close for the day and the Sun shifts West? Would it be the same with say ...

Never called you that, was referring to people in general who believe the crap that politicians sprout, especially against CCs. Countries and politicians can either accept progress or fight it. CCs are progress because the future is digital ...

Just out of interest - what will you do if I tell you to remember something again?

Always remember when the governments/establishment doesn't like something they always bring out the same time-tested clichés. Terrorists/Pedos/Organised crime. No different to CCs. Do the above use them? Sure, but not as much as the governments ...

Apparently criminals are also using USD/Euro/Yen/Sterling/Property/Gold/Diamonds and so on to launder HUNDREDS of billions of illicit profits. Time to crack down on those currencies and assets?

Almost everyone is getting this all wrong. People think, hopefully no doubt, that these prosecutors are going after Trump. Well they're going to be very disappointed because Trump is clean. Instead the real targets are the Clintons and I'd put a ...

Lots of people waiting and hoping to buy into CCs if/when they come off. I wouldn't be surprised if there's potentially a collective $50billion+ of buy orders 20%-50% below here. Markets are perverse so you have to say there's a high chance prices ...
