Only for 10 years he was, between 1970-80.

How George soros made his billions

It was both their ideas. I think that has been acknowledged by both Soros and the publicity shy Druckenmiller. Also, as we all know, it's not just the idea that counts; as important, if not more so, is the timing and having the stomach to stand firm ...

How George soros made his billions

Seriously? But Soros achieved great success before, during and after his association with Jim Rogers. Not that i am downplaying the great investment record of Jim Rogers. For anyone to be as consistent as Soros, after decades in this tough business, ...

How George soros made his billions

My statement re Wells Fargo is 100% accurate. I am done arguing with you. My point has been made and I don't want to take up undue space on this thread.

EURUSD

I have no bone to pick with the government whatsoever. I only have issue with wildly inaccurate claims being made on here that have no truth to them, that all.

EURUSD

What have the Romans ever done for us??? — So, apart from the $25 billion received which you now acknowledge, the bilions that Wells Fargo raised in bond issues - that were fully guaranteed by the government (read taxpayer) - in order to take ...

A more aggressive approach to QE than the timetable currently discounted by the market.... Look at what happened to the dollar, govt bonds and stocks when the Fed confirmed it would implement QE - the nuclear option.

Hey Azim, When's the big day?? You better not be trading and communicating with this forum via your Blackbery!! Start as you mean to go on, eh? Nice cable long btw.... What a day, what a trend... Paul (passing on his warmest ...

That's very, very unlikely, especially during London hours. Seriously, I can tell you for certain that a $10m ticket size on eurusd wouldn't register on the richter scale in the interbank market, certainly not in the London session. Foreign exchange ...

Trading with $1000 per pip?

It's difficult to give an exact answer to this question. However, when I was working for large bank, the spot desk on a busy day could absord a $100m ticket, in that they'd deal immediately and would not need to work the oda gradually through the ...

A trade that size wouldn't even come close to moving the spot market.

Trading with $1000 per pip?

Nice post, Daffy. I agree with much of what you say and am definitely in full agreement with Vince Cable's summary of the growth figures announced in Wednesday's budget. I wrote a piece in The Wormhole yesterday about the current state of the UK's ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I, much like yourself, think that the UK currently sits in a very precarious situation. Although I firmly believe that an IMF rescue remains a very remote possibility, as there are many positives in relation to the UK's economy and its now weaker ...

Hi Stewrigh, Actually, the FT has been highly critical of Brown in recent months, particularly regarding his management of public finances. Within the FT, there are columnists from the right, left and centre of the political spectrum. As for Simon, ...

The WoRmHoLe

I don't rate Simon Heffer one bit as any sort of economist. I think he's an alarmist, who often spouts populist views with scant regard to the facts or the broader perspective. A prime example of this can be drawn from this absurd insight he ...
