Taper Or No Taper - What The FOMC Has Really Said
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 13, 2013
Your logic is all twisted there, people need jobs created so they can afford to buy a lunch. I've met very few people who, if they're out of work in the UK, don't want to improve their lives. In the USA the labour participation rate is at a 35 year ...
Unemployment Benefits to Lapse as Congress Fails to Agree
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 13, 2013
IMO that loose target has been on the radar for some months, I suspect the ECB are waiting for the Fed to do its job for them without the ECB needing to intervene for the EUR/USD to reach that level.
Cable and Euro take a plunge

You don't forsee a programme of unwinding once (if) the taper happens?
VIX Trader Buys $5.1 Million in Calls to Bet on 50% Increase
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 13, 2013
I'm bemused as to why so many traders can't grasp how important risk/money management is in their trading plan (which should never be violated). IMO a retail trader shouldn't be risking any more than 1% of their account per trade and with the ...

Hahahaha, nicely done, what's not to love eh?
Will the market actually cheer tapering?
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 12, 2013
What is technical about this sell off? FX Markets react violently to 3 fundamental issues; high impact news events, policy decisions and rumours (that comply with the overall group think, or appear credible)
RBA's Stevens says Australia needs A$ closer to 85 U.S. cents
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 12, 2013
IMO there's been a fundamental shift in employing retail staff, all employers are employing 'to the tick', there's no spare capacity allowed. I've a niece at UNI in the UK who's texted each morning with her probable hours and told to keep her day ...
Jobless Claims in U.S. Surge in Week After Thanksgiving Holiday
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 12, 2013
I couldn't disagree more, if you are a trend trader you should have been short AUD/USD. The only other viable method I've discovered (and practiced to day trade by) which presumably millions of others have finally cracked after their "that's so ...

Poor print, no jobs Santa rally. A cheeky revision of the previous week's print too.
Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report

Just looked at your 'shouts', if you're not embarrassed by them now then you will and should be given enough time. They're 'looking through fingers' excruciating nonsense, do you imagine that approach will attract investors to your Martingale type ...
US Unemployment Benefits Preview

Can't argue v any of that, other than to add the possibilities of Draghi going on full tilt as an 'outlier' event, or a taper reduction before 2014.

Big miss, that EU 'recovery' is still off the radar.

Israel's Fischer picked to be next Fed vice chair

This time it really is different, the USA came out of the depression as new technologies and continued industrialisation helped spur massive spikes in employment, companies couldn't function without mass employment and the wages were generally ...
Americans Say Dream Fading as Income Gap Shows Unequal Chances
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 12, 2013
There has to be a fundamental policy shift for the DJIA to sell off that severely. Fib retracement isn't valid.
It’s all going wonky as markets go risk off
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 11, 2013
I dunno, IMHO this latest open ended QE to infinity won't be tapered enough or at all in 2014 to allow that kind of sell off and where and what would the funds rotate into? The irony with QE (unintended consequence) is the Fed and the USA govt have ...

"Boring?" Are you not continuously enthralled by the infinite variety and creativity the industry offers up on a daily basis? No? Me neither, same s.h.i.t. different day, other than Friday pm to Sunday pm. Still it's a living eh?
