I agree,
and we live in a world of snakes ruling us..all the bald face lies..
heres another one to lighten the mood on pick your pockets sunday..
this actually made me bust a gut ..enjoy the quote!
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said the U.S. won’t use the dollar as a trade weapon and he repeated his support for a “strong dollar” that plays a central role in the global economy.
“We will never use our currency as a tool to gain competitive advantage,” Geithner told reporters today after a meeting of finance ministers from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group in Kyoto, Japan
dow futures up 100.
going long the crosses and shorting the dollar today..
qe in bonds, just might be worth it if, republicans can shrink government ..
I like the idea of qe as long as as we are not bailing out banks or corporations..and as long as the fed invest in long term government bonds.but we have along haul before any good comes...inflation should hit soon and hard,meaning interest rates are going to rise,and keep rising...hence my predictions for the future rise in the dollar..but still the question is when.still holding my dow number of 11500...elections are over. counting the days now..
;)
Please do not be hesitant to ask any question you have with Forex..
we all were neewbies and had the same questions..and almost all of us came from stocks....and one nice thing I like about forex is no commission,just the spread between pairs.
you cannot loose more than you have in your account,say you have 10,000 in your account and traded 5,000 ,which you should never do on 1 trade , you should only trade the most 10% of your account ,the larger the account the smaller the percentage..dont try to get rich over night..but back to the point ..say the trade goes against you,@ 2% margin...not sure on the exact math but you would be stopped out at about 50 pips if that,and it would cost you about 3,000...your account would still have 7,000..
thats with fxcm in the usa because of the new margin rules..hope this helps..
have to wait till things settle..,
for now im just scalping ........only because I think prices are already been priced in..but we have to see ......
lol..
might have a point there...
but then again I have seen skid row wish they had a ipod to sell..?
Drug Experts Say Alcohol Worse than Crack or Heroin
Published November 01, 2010 | Reuters
Reuters
Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed, British scientists said Monday.
Presenting a new scale of drug harm that rates the damage to users themselves and to wider society, the scientists rated alcohol the most harmful overall and almost three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco.
According to the scale, devised by a group of scientists including Britain's Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) and an expert adviser to the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), heroin and crack cocaine rank as the second and third most harmful drugs.
Ecstasy is only an eighth as harmful as alcohol, according to the scientists' analysis.
Professor David Nutt, chairman of the ISCD, whose work was published in the Lancet medical journal, said the findings showed that "aggressively targeting alcohol harms is a valid and necessary public health strategy.
Alcohol and tobacco are legal for adults in Britain and many other countries, while drugs such as ecstasy and cannabis and LSD are often illegal and carry the threat of prison sentences.
"It is intriguing to note that the two legal drugs assessed -- alcohol and tobacco -- score in the upper segment of the ranking scale, indicating that legal drugs cause at least as much harm as do illegal substances," Nutt, who was formerly head of the influential British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), said in a statement about the study.
Nutt was forced to quit the ACMD a year ago after publicly criticizing ministers for ignoring scientific advice suggesting cannabis was less harmful than alcohol.
The World Health Organization estimates that risks linked to alcohol cause 2.5 million deaths a year from heart and liver disease, road accidents, suicides and cancer -- accounting for 3.8% of all deaths. It is the third leading risk factor for premature death and disabilities worldwide.
In an effort to offer a guide to policy makers in health, policing, and social care, Nutt's team rated drugs using a technique called multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA: 0.01 ,+0.00 ,+0.00%) which assessed damage according to nine criteria on harm to the user and seven criteria on harm to others.
Harms to the user included things such as drug-specific or drug-related death, damage to health, drug dependence and loss of relationships, while harms to others included crime, environmental damage, family conflict, international damage, economic cost, and damage to community cohesion.
Drugs were then scored out of 100, with 100 given to the most harmful drug and zero indicating no harm at all.
The scientists found alcohol was most harmful, with a score of 72, followed by heroin with 55 and crack with 54.
Among some of the other drugs assessed were crystal meth (33), cocaine (27), tobacco (26), amphetamine or speed (23), cannabis (20), benzodiazepines, such as Valium (15), ketamine (15), methadone (14), mephedrone (13), ecstasy (9), anabolic steroids (9), LSD (7) and magic mushrooms (5).

My son finished 48 out of 75 hand cyclist..but he had an old hand cycle.next year,he'll have a better one ,and actually be a competitor..
started scalping last night ,doing pretty well so far for the week,now the question in my mind is ,the elections will be over soon ,so as I said ,now will be the time for the interest rates and all thing that go along with that ,so I will be looking for signals ,for gold and oil to come down,and the dollar to change directions ..but I will try not to get my panties in a bunch and dive in ....its might take a month or so,who knows..just have to watch and wait.
depending what the future holds,
I will defiantly hold on to your business card..!
I too lack the selling part ,because I hate the red tape and loose interest ..
I think you have a winner there.
;)
;),
well them dems .are outta there soon,
back to the war room..!
get rid of insurance companies and lawyers and all the evil would go with them..then the world would be a very nice place to be..
;)
BTW ,if granny is too old to get out of the way of a 4 year old on training wheels ,she shouldnt be allowed outside un attended..and that should be the cloing argument for that case!
dismissed and granny pays legle fees..!
well then,
I'll just have to wait to find out then..lol
with numbers like that so soon ,might be a winner..
So im just guessing ..does it hve something to do with drugs or smuggleing illeagle aliens?or how about medical marijuana?

The EU economy in a nutshell. Let’s hope someone doesn’t decide to stop participating in this bailout plan otherwise the whole house of cards will collapse in Europe and the United States.
our dollars spending power in Europe is worth .72 compared to the euro spending power in the us..1.37
speaking of my cat stepping on keys...some how ,the combination of keys ,he managed to change my windows logon password on my laptop.! I have no idea what it is ..so for now i cant logon ,,have to use my desktop.
freaken cats are smart!
YES.
NORMALLY IT IS SHOWN AS EUR/USD..BUT USD/EUR IS THE SAME JUST BACKWARDS SO IF YOUR LONG USD...........YOU WOULD SHORT EUR/USD ,BUT BUY USD/EUR..
MAKE SENSE?
DAMN MY CAT STEPPED ON MY CAP LOCKS AND IM NOT RETYPING...
SORRY FOR THE NOISE.!
there thats better ..aaaaaaaaaaaa
;)
and ...they would not be allowed to invade our privacy so much...at least our body fluids will remain in the toilets where it belong ,and the secrets the yellow juice embraces,will be flushed away ,never to come back to haunt you ever again!
well it is a danger that we as a country might turn into gentle fun loving and caring people..it would empty the prisons and the only ones who remain would be a small population of the ones who need to be there..,
we may even forgive debt and make life easier for the whole world ,,we might farm more and grow different kinds of flower and one day in the future a dead body will shock us again and human life might just revert back to humans.....so Pharisaical, prisons,cia,and a whole lot of dea agents would be out of jobs...boo-hooo....
my point for my trade exactly...
too many sheep on the bus...lol
not saying it wont go that far ,but i would be very cautious ..
still a carry trade..,for now I believe if you look at you daily chart the bottom trend line runs about 72.50,from there ?
its a good possibility the daily has formed a rising wedge and whether it breaks or not this time around is anybodys guess at this point,to be on the safer side look for the correlated pair with not so high interests rate like eur/usd short,..
just a thought..plus if you wait too long your going to mis this correction happening and should continue through out the week at least..go in with very small amount ,at least to pay the light bill..
;)
just like it been absolute fact that even after the g20 out put...im long the dollar and shorting the kiwi,,,,
;)
been a battle up and down....just have a gut feeling this is my trade.!,
looking for 72,,but will be satisfied at74..
to my knowledge that is absolute fact..!
fricken shame.,because we know how to make it right but dont because it will cost us money to make it right ,but it will make us money just to do wrong...and turn our backs.
any body feel like standing for the pledge of alliegence as our dollar crashes into the abyss?
we are the worst...and wiki leaks says so..
;0
thank you...!
absolutely..
I hope they do..It would regain the trust of the middle class and below.!
we ,know what we want ...and we want it now............ congress ...,or shit will hit the proverbial fan...sick and tired be told when to go to bed and when to wake and when I can feel safe to travel..,because of people protecting their crops.! we are killing and imprisoning people over a frig gen garden weed......
not possible...all cia operations are funded by drug money and confiscations...huge dollar amounts and totally free money for them and officially unaccounted for .they can say any amount they want ..totally no civilian oversight..!
if they cant see into your bowels ,then all they can do is take your word for it...and in this country your automatically guilty if they ask you a question and dont hear the answer they want to hear.........good luck trying to have some serenity on that exerciser wheel..
;)
not gonna happen..Russia says no..
cant fight city hall....
:0
we have some republic going on ,but it doesn't involve regular citizens of the USA..,
the country is already gone...without a shot fired ..
our laws are now up for vote by foreigners...not us..
here is the latest from russian KGB....and californias prop 19.
Viktor Ivanov, a former KGB officer and prominent member of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's inner circle, even took the unusual step of going to Los Angeles earlier this week to "conduct a campaign against legalizing marijuana in California," as he said in the interview
and that is their valid excuse ,because they caused it them-selfs ..,by not enacting laws ,and then enacting laws that are loop holes fore the laws..
a law should of been enacted a long time ago to put big curbs on out sourcing..tell you what .If today congress imposed a tax equal to the difference of pay ,and just to be fair $1.00 less....there would be no problems in any emerging market..,and defiantly not ours!
All falls back on our Congress...they make way too many laws,and they meddle way too much for our country to progress....,mandatory infringements on our lives is not a free country to me.!and is not the United States of America ........I am actually finding it difficult to say the pledge of alliegence now days....
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to* the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
china was and is ,the only problem blocking the whole kit and kabootel,now the cartel has offered china and a few other emerging markets , a bigger piece of the pie if the go along with them...but as we all know ,China does what it wants...my take on it is China will play along as always ,but when the time comes,they will do as they always did....
I really resent the fact that the US fed,is trying so desperately to crash our dollar and manipulating inflation, if they continue then we can expect very shortly a paperless economy,everything will be on plastic because it will take a mule to haul all the dollars it will take to buy groceries..
after the plastic will come the chip implant...!
"JUST SAY NO, to QE2 " !
