Has something happened to foster a better atmosphere on these news/ fundamental reasoning threads? There appears to be a break out of intelligent reasoned debate.

EUR/USD Forecast– November 26-30

The need to export their way to some form of new economic normal will probably tip the balance in favour of more QE, the recent territory battles with China caused a spike in inventory no doubt and there's only so far channel stuffing can 'work' if ...

Getting Some Long Liquidation In Yen Crosses

I think you'd be advised to re read those excellent posts by mister spread on this thread.

Getting Some Long Liquidation In Yen Crosses

Although its a major pair I enjoy far more success with the cross yen pairs than with usd/yen. I find its correlation play with spx/djia difficult. For example if risk on returns with a-vengeance post a fiscal cliff resolution the usd should fall ...

Getting Some Long Liquidation In Yen Crosses

This central bank catastrophe is the work of those successive apparatchiks in govts and banks wedded to the philosophy of Milton Friedman not Keynes. I wish folk would study, even briefly, the basics of Keynes before mouthing the usual sound bites

Monetary developments in the euro area

Of course there is, how many times does everything come into line for Chartists and with the fundamentals to then fail epically? What we should be doing is identifying these opportunities as high probability set ups, they'll never be perfect

Is There Such A Thing As A Perfect Setup?

Surely the Canadian initiative of making notes plastic is more sustainable I'm with the suggestion up top that it smacks of conflicted interest and perhaps psyche issues in relation to perception values

U.S. should replace dollar bills with coins, GAO says

The man who wanted a replacement for usd as the globe's reserve currency was certainly delivered a message

Strauss-Kahn awaits 'prostitution ring' decision

Ah! But what will the new boss think? How could this fit in with suggestions from the likes of Buffett that central banks are out of bullets with QE? If so what other tools are left in the box other than zirp?

Bean Says QE Door Shouldn’t Be Closed for BOE Officials

I've been part of the jump on the bandwagon were they're concerned, naturally when I'm on the other side of the trading recommendation. IMHO with all analysis you can digest it, think, but then ultimately you have to make your own decisions based on ...

Goldman Says To Sell USDJPY: "Pain Trade Is Lower"

There appears to be a thicket of bullish fundamental reports published today, risk on to return? 200MA in sight on the DJIA?

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Increases Again

Is the housing recovery a dead cat bounce or a genuine indicator of an economy that is beginning to heal?

Home Prices in 20 U.S. Cities Advanced 3% in Year to September

So they're suggesting selling the dollar, ergo predicting a return to risk on with the fiscal cliff situation bridged by use of arguably temporary structures. Not that outrageous a position/opinion to take.

Goldman Says To Sell USDJPY: "Pain Trade Is Lower"

I think it's far too simplistic to assume that the 'clever' position to take is the opposite of every Goldman call. However, given that they're part of the 93% of institutional money that actually moves the market you have to take on board their ...

Goldman Says To Sell USDJPY: "Pain Trade Is Lower"

First point no, there's no free lunches from me. sorry to disappoint. But thinking on what do you have to know at your level? Be level headed, trade off levels with sound MM. Use S&R, psyche numbers, 200MA, fibs, order flow, plot all your decisions ...

EUR/USD Forecast– November 26-30

Has to be said that on reflection Yohay's opinion in the article, backed up by his sound fundy and some tech analysis on how the eur/usd pair might play out this week, appears sound so far. Early days, but a decent call by a skilful analyst worth ...

EUR/USD Forecast– November 26-30

I think calling risk on or risk off is tricky atm, across the usual range of securities. Seasonally the markets are in their usual place, however, the fiscal cliff is approaching and the Eurozone issues just won't vanish. Fwiw imho Obama can't let ...

EUR/USD Forecast– November 26-30

Love it..so tell me, news such as the UK coming out of recession, or entering into it, or confirming it's stayed out of recession, that's just noise is it? Ooh ooh how about NFP numbers, is that just noise? How about the BOJ fiscal and monetary ...

Eurogroup statement on Greece

wtf are you asking him for? You went 275 pips+ offside and ask others for advice, what kind of MM are you exercising? Or not?

EUR/USD Forecast– November 26-30

Really? Er...ok...
