A bit late as I'm just opening the thread: Been shorting the Swissie since last night plus a small +1 short in gbpaud and small +0.5 long in gold. Nothing spectacular though... PA is as dull as it gets. Cable seems to be forming something with a ...

This is what happens with the auction came before the POMO schedule... disaster. It's not just the middle class that's going to pay for the financials' folly, it will be their children too. Shame.

I'm going to remember 2010 as the PIIGS year for sure. Dow already plunged about 100 points in less then an hour... Ben is not happy. And on the other hand... url

Morning guys, I hope you stayed safe during last night's massacre during the US session. Amazing what a change in the silver margin requirements can trigger across the board... It seems we have a very news-rich day today so there should be descent ...

The chatter is that everyone is waiting for today's employment report so there's a lot of position readjustments and hedging. On top of that news from Ireland are very bad and rumors are circulating that ECB is now purchasing not just Irish but ...

Actually you do have it It is a combination of factors, however I become suspicious to anything that goes beyond the second daily pivotal resistance/support. That's one of my main signals that market might be getting too overextended and a ...
