Fair enough, it's all about opinions. Although I wouldn't place too much credence on such random anecdotal evidence. The facts regarding unemployment and repossessions tell a vastly different story to the one you are relaying. Behind every statistic ...

For the record, I am definitely not insulting you. I would've responded in the same way to anyone making such a statement that was, in my mind, very naive and thoughtless. You should toughen up, be less sensitive and not take things said on here so ...

That depends on what street you walk down. Try downtown Detroit, for example. There you'll see the impact of sharp economic decline and the harsh realities of the recession. Or speak to the many, many families across the US who now live in fear of ...

The FX desk was incredibly profitable, irrespective of where we were in the economic cycle. However, the bulk of the desk's profits were made from the bank's role of being a leading market-maker and interbank dealer, meaning huge volumes of business ...

I admire him too. But he, like countless others, was asleep at the wheel. He held an executive position at BS prior to their collapse, so he failed in that role. Which firm do you work for now? No wories if you don't want to say on a public forum, I ...

I think you mean Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, who is suing AIG.

I think you are talking about their interview with Alan "Ace" Greenberg. A very affable guy, no doubt, particularly in media interviews. But he was Chairman of the Executive Committee at Bear Stearns from 2001 to its collapse in 2008. So I wouldn't ...

And I'm so used to equities collapsing

Interesting analysis... He's actually a very good strategist. I don't view his accent as being an issue.

I disagree. Equities have held onto their gains, so far anyway. If they can build on these when Wall St opens, then I see the likely move for EURUSD to the upside.

question should be, is it positive for risk appetite? if the answer is yes, and equities rally further, then it'll likely be bad for the greenback...

Yes, the 30 second chart is far better or, ideally, the 10 second chart with lots and lots of indicators...

Well said. that's why we must remain humble, otherwise the market can force humility upon us. It makes me cringe when i read these tales from the relatively inexperienced traders on here, telling their life story, about how they mastered ...

Hahahaha.... I've said the same on the Cable thread some time back, as it appeared that laws of retail forex traders had beeen turned on its head, when we had 95% winners and only 5% who admitted to ever having losing trades. So many positions were ...

Not as good as yours! Managed to turn in a profit today, which is a relief after ending last week with negative P&L. I've been concentrating solely on equities in the past week, given the huge moves. Although I did have a sneaky short on Cable ...
