Long dollar v yen again. Looking for 100 by year end, and more likely. Basis 93.
Historical note, in 1959 when I returned to the U.S. from Japan, the rate was 360 yen to the buck.
I use a Gigaware wireless that is small and uses 2 aaa batteries. 2 years on in now and no worries. need a spare usb port.
OT No, more like a drinking game than trivia. The bingo moment came with an award winner mentioning a deceased parent so the squares were pretty wild including winners mentioning a spouse, not mentioning a spouse, naming children, wearing a cause ribbon etc. plus squares for awards like sound and original scripts.
OT- I am sure everyone will want to know that I have triumphed in our Oscar party- Oscar Bingo game.
OT have seen it. I think it is Jack Lemmon's last film, and if so especially fitting for a man who wanted so badly to play the wekend at the Crosby Clambake.
Interesting. Thx.
Out all Yen crosses here. G7, G20 jawboning will mean some opportunities to enter lower methinks. In the meantime. Taking the money. TTYL Oh, yeah- in 89.90 out 93.50
Update- Entry 89.90, now 92.70 Tgt. still 100 minimum. Going to add on a pullback but this may be a brave new world, all gain no pain.
I am reposting this post from last year. I do so because of my post yesterday. Yen was 89.90 when I entered, now 90.93@ 9 a.m. .This is pounding the table in Pluggerspeak. Target 100 minimum with wild swings , have a good cushion and let it run.
"Running nicely. FYI 1 microlot at FXCM is $20 bucks. A single pip is 12 cents on a single lot. I entered Nov.11th and am looking for this to go for 4-6 months. Maybe more. Will add on a good pullback."
Yen is sinking still but now thanks to the Deputy Prime Minister we have a probable target. He is quoted as saying 100 is not objectionable. Currently 89.90 Make sure you do not trade too large as it will no doubt whipsaw. I am Long USD/Yen again.
Out all yen crosses. +792 Going to watch for awhile now. Will be scalping but cannot post that stuff.
Lucky streak
Out pound/yen +25
Inch plus on the ground here in Lad A Dog town.
Thanks Long again pound/yen this a.m.
Closed the pound/yen positions. 240+ pips total. Dollar/yen still on.
Added again to both long dollar/yen and pound/yen on this latest sharp pullback.
Got java? I had a quick flash of something a few weeks back and did a couple of scans but saw nothing. I did a restore and feel better about it but...I cannot help thinking that bad guys are a lot more skilled nowadays and we may all be behind the curve.
So far no curse of the Newness, running again.
This morning I added to this trade and also went Long the pound against the yen. For those keeping score the initial position is up over 600 pips. Looking to hold for a few months minimum. May add more on further weakness.
Found the elixir........but can't remember where I put it!
There is an alternative.......grandchildren but the effect only lasts 2 hours before you get tired.
Hey, Smags- you do realize that golden years is ironic, right? Written in mild arthritic pain. LOL
To be clear- I rarely listen to, read, or in any other way try to anticipate decisions made by governmental authorities. I went short the yen on Nov.11th based on my reading of the charts. I am really liking this longer time frame for trading. Take a look for yourselves. Forget the noise and plan the trade. Happy New Year!
Running nicely. FYI 1 microlot at FXCM is $20 bucks. A single pip is 12 cents on a single lot. I entered Nov.11th and am looking for this to go for 4-6 months. Maybe more. Will add on a good pullback.
The long US dollar-short Yen trade is performing well. Still time methinks. Again take a look at the monthly. Up over 500 pips thus far.
"I am sorry but the Van Gogh was yesterday's price. Today it will cost you a Van Gogh, two emeralds and 1/2 bar of platinum." Don't forget to tip your waitstaff."
Update- Kramer now has a Mac. I figure we may hear from him in mid 2013.
For those who may be interested in forex. I am long the dollar against the yen. This is a trade entered on the monthly chart so I am expecting to hold this for awhile. Take a look and enter on a pullback or short sharp shock if you like the look of the trade. Cheers.
Yes, it is quiet. Yes, his "machine" is broken again. And if one believes that his "machine" is at fault I am sure there are Enron shares available for you.
Newness- Harold MacMillan quote for ya.
"We have not overthrown the divine right of kings to fall down for the divine right of experts."
Marisa Tomei, My Cousin Vinnie c'mon make it difficult!
Probably not, but the good news is he is limited in number of posts as well.
Oh sure you are. Just don't come near my computers!
As you will recall, Kramer said something or other about a new computer. Regular members may now leap to the appropriate conclusion regarding his absence. I am sure that in time he will return alas, none the wiser for his experience with technology. He shall return!

Yes, it is quiet. Yes, Kramer is locked out again. Yes, he swears he is following the steps laid out for him by admins. No, I do not think he knows what he is doing. Talk amongst yourselves and mayhap spare a thought for Kramer muttering dark things at his computer.
Kramer is lost again and unable to log in. He insists that he has done nothing to his computer. He is seeking help.
Hello All- I have a new laptop- Dell w 6 gigs . I am wanting to do this right and not have any programs on it other than the things I use. Would you all be kind enough to tell me how to see what is on the thing and then how to take off all the excess/useless things before I set a restore/backup going. I am good at following instructions but IT stuff has gone way by my DOS level. Many thanks.
Have a great weekend New and try not to fall off any rock ledge. FX is fine, just as crazy as the rest of the mkts.
