I dont think the G7 did the USD any favors at all.
They almost said 'help'
Main concern is that the OPEC cartel are divesting $. as they and others countries rebalance.
My frustration is I could se this coming and dont know how to make a buck or an E from it !!!
EUR/USD @ 1.2379 one lot - stopped out 2 !
Thanks goodness its a practise account.
Just trying to get the rhythm right LOL
Its a art really I am beginning to think.
Have a trend line at 1.2366 now?
This will be interesting ......
Meanwhile i am breaking all the rules I suppose and covering covering !
But .........Look at the pps of GM and F !
Dahhhh
Take a look at Linde,
They are better known in Europe as suppliers of medical gases.
They are involved with the BMW hydrogen car producing the fuel cell to contain Hydrogen @ liquid temp.
They are pulling together 2 other US gas companies with their own operation over here in Texas.
I wonder if they are going to shoot for a US listing. Bet they are. They are way ahead with hydrogen transport.
They may license or sell the tech here I am pretty sure.
As I said now the US race is on they are at least 5 years ahead.
On Berlin market = LING

Humm,
Can I stick with your calls for a week ?
Just stopped out 2 lots.
Impressive calls !
QT Guess this has been on the board already but its the tech they have put into it.
Linde seem to have solved storing fuel @ -253C .
Its a big engine though 5 .3 litres.
Cant quite see how that would be fuel efficient.

Sometime in the early 80's a goal for the US Auto industry was set for an improved mileage engine by 1999.
Nothing was done except to improve performance of an engine.
When it came time to come up with the goods thsi Pres. scrapped the requirement.
Cars got bigger again SUV's appeared all seemingly wearing W stickers.
Meanwhile BMW have been at this for that same 15 years !
I dont particularly like the irony but .............
Whew,
Yep that tested didnt it ?
I take it you've gorn lorng then ?
Lower to where you said 2375
How did you do that.
Started in long around 2382
3 lots down to 2378 lomg
You (EUR/USD )still holding for 0075 for the botom of this cycle ?
Thanks,
Read your other posts and charts which says much.
Got my fingers crossed for you here,
But I have seen how quickly this can reverse.
Probably not it seems at this time of the day but when London starts lot of volatility.
How if you, dont mind, are you able to tell if its a true trend change or fake ?
Does Andrews Pitchfork work here ?
Are you cnannel trading.
What was your entry point on this run please ?
Good job I was not using real money yet. LOL
Almost there,
Will join you long then. @ 1.2375
I need some confidence boosting !!LOL
I quite agree,
Our say in what Government does in our name becomes less and less.
Its telling here when a candididate has to raise millions to stand a chance of election. Buy the position and lobbiests then be payed back by lobbiests etc.
Mind you the people seem to have changed the Governments mind in France temporarilt I suspect!
Maybe there is still hope.
Euro broke that 1.24 !

Thats the problem in a nutshell I am afraid,
We have all be reared on Hollywood, Reds under the Bed and the 'big stick'.
Iran is equally intransegant.
There really is a better way of solving this.
As too a 3rd WW.
Just one thought.
The Internet has made the world stage much more of a Global entity than 'Globalisation'there is an interconnect which quite simply and hopefully will prevail.
Let me ask
How many other countries and Nationalities do you 'net with' at this point in time ?
Dont need to fight to win at all, sorry,
We can still 'win' on the economic front.
John Wayne is dead !
For Chian too succeed they nedd the us market, Dollar shops and all.
But we still have the ability and infrastusture to adapt readily.
If the dinnasours were able too, they would be here too !!
Things are changing and hopefully for a better world Although the greater pressure is not the threat of 'terrorism' or nukes from Iran but global warming and over population.
So the answer is
Always wear a condom !
Its your best friend !
And try and fit it over your head !!..........
By the way do you recall in the Carter era when the interest rate went to 22% ?
It was put about that the Iranians has one of the 7 Swiss printing presses which churnes out USD!
Even Hadrian and Alexander gave up on Persia .......
He aint got them,
And it would take years for them to get anything near nuclear tactical.
1600 centrifuges !
(I built Bandar Abas for the last late Shar along with other facilities in Iraq and Iran)
Take a closer look at what Putin is attempting to diffuse.
But he also wants a Euro barrel too !
In any event Israel says they would take them out just like they did in Iraq in 1985.
Let them do it !?
The immediate fallout is their immediate area of the globe.
It just leaves them dead in the whole scheme!
There has been too much bluff and counterbluff.
Not going much further with this scenario
Cos of the so called Patriot Act
London open will be interesting ........
Hope not
Military might supreme and remarkable as it is cannot deal with this level of warfare.
Keep in mind
One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter!
Then think about Paul Revere and America's revolt.
Its a problem but Iran yearns to be respected and taken into the International Fold.
Consider this
Who is Iran threatening in the Middle East ?
Who stands to loose the most?
If the US is embroiled in Iraq as it will be for the next 10yrs + who will they serve by being between and betwisxt.
Bottom line is
We have pissed off Iran, Russia, Venezula ruined Iraq arguably set the the UAE and OPEC against the 'west' and China wants oil like its yesterday!
And to think only a few months ago Goldman Sachs were questioned when they advanced that oil would be $100 by the end of the year.
Lively stuff !!
You have to remember these are people who turned the tide on Saddam with just a bandana and a plastic key to heaven round ther necks and stopped the last invasion.
We cant handle even sort out Iraq which is or shouild have been a freind.
Now they have a torpedo (courtesy of the Russians }which clocks 240 mph !
Granted they cant steer it but in the Straights of Hormuz !
Looking forward to it,
I think there is a real power shift taking place.
Oil is King and thewest aint got much of it ,,,,,,
I agree USD bearish,
One of the main reasons for this is I have seen the way Putin keeps diffusing the situation with Iran.
(Enrichment faciities for Iran going to be in Russia)
But Both Putin and Iran want a Euro barrel. That is going to have a marked effect on the dollar and has put a cloud over it for months now.
It would be rather like a Fed Reserve Bank dissapearing.
(The bank comprises all that oil at any one time on the high seas and in storage between extraction and being use)
Will the G7 be able to stabilize ?
I dont think it is in their hands to be able too as much as they would wish.
Yep, I see an interesting week next week and I think London will set the stage in the morning .
What do you think about polling opinion once a week by the way ?
I did state that at this rate of buying it would take them a long time BTW.
Its just a theory I have no proof.
But it would make for excellent (if not kosher) money sense.
Something else to consider. And this is getting naughty.
How much do you think it cost to put WIMAX up in Seattle?
Bannister,
When I said 'below $2.00' I was going to write 'around 1.50'
I didnt because I would maybe be seen as some sort of fish LOL
Also I was mindful of being accused of rank pessimism as others have been.
It has been called on other boards 'The GTE cult'.
I think stepping back and not falling in love are healthy here.
You must be aware that this accumulation without news of either the Russian deal or Strat may become another short attack and take it down to that level we shall not mention.
I stopped being long and strong last year and frankly it has been less of a daily concern to just jump in and out.
The clincher was Meyer stepping down so as not to risk sullying his good name. Something wasnt right.
I beleive Low has been cautioning much the same.
GLTA
Morning ataglance
EUR/USD
Now I am confused ! LOL
That commentary is talking about a retreat to as much as 1.17/8 in the Euro.
All I have been reading was the advance to the 'inevitable' 1.24.
I was bullish on the Euro and allround bearish on the USD.
Interested in your thoughts here.
How about a weekly poll to gain board sentiment.
I would find that interesting and usefull.
eg Do you feel the USD will rise or fall
Ditto EURO
Ditto etc (long and short term ?

Bannister,
I will leave a reply to the 'scale model' on the other board.
We got off topic
This isthe one I was referring too

I've got another scenario for you Pit,
Be late with the payment.
wait for the pps to drop below $2.00
Buy the float with $150 mill.
Transfer the other $150 saying the rest is on the way or stagepayment etc
watch the pps double
Just made $150 mill ! !!!!
GLTA
Bingo !
Go to msg 16357 and follow the thread !
Mind you it will take them a long time at this rate of a/h buying.
Helped a lot thanks again,
Dont remind me,
The levels of diversly varying optimism and dissapointment on this board all last year was the result.
Do you think the same scene will play out this year?
Theres a lot to go into and onto the thing even after you have it built.
I do not quite understand why a scale model hasnt been built and put up there. At least its not so much money lost if it doesnt/wont come down again !
Gotcha thanks,
I am very much into
'The trend is your friend'
But yes I was guilty of moving my stop down while playing on the practise account.
As you maybe read in another post here the traders seem to be very good at spiking through the usual 10 pip stop.
It was particularly noticable with the JPY/USD .
I thought I could thwart them.LOL
It broke support below which I was aiming to enter.
I should have checked for the new support.
Survey sent !
I looked at it again and wondered.
Forklifts have run on propane for years now.
What advantage is hydrogen ? Cleaner maybe.
But its all about an efficient fuel cell or the ability to safely store liquid hydrogen at temperatures which will keep it liquid.
I'm going to read it again a little more carefull and a bit more critically.
That was preety neat,
Interesting last half hour. I was expecting it to bounce instead it hit a new LOD.
Humm
Is it just me but the way the traders suddenly spike up or down to take out stop losses I hadnt seen that quite as pronounced on EUR/USD.
Trying to find out,
Doing some DD
Ballard we already know off.
So seems we aren't the only ones.
Certainly seems the prime candidate and GTE think so too it seems.
Complimentary ?
No they are a definate threat.
He has a few problems at the moment not least of which being unable to get financing either to service or put new sats up there.
The London market didn't like the deal at all.
You would think with the big numbers he needs to keep the sats up there for the next 15 years he would either go for building his own Strat or taking a real interest in GTE. and getting some agreement not to place TV links in them or only his service.
That would be much cheaper than keeping those 'birds' up there
Thats not beyond possibility at all and much cheaper for him.
But I suspect that is not in his nature or character. He is an Emporer who has to solely control his Empire.
Take over and control everything, never share.
There are a couple of others trying to get similar vehicles into the Stratosphere.
Now if he is attempting to kill GTE what is he going to do with the EU project to put one up there I wonder.
He cant kill that one off.
What do you think about this AH accumulation BTW Low.
I have my own theory on this which I think you know.
Elderwolf,
When you go long what do you do to prevent your trade being taken out by a stop limit attack.
Go deep or remove them ?
GENERAL HYDROGEN CORP. PREDICTS IT WILL BE PROFITABLE BY 2007 AS IT PLUGS INTO THE BILLION-DOLLAR NO
Visit http://www.generalhydrogen.com for further information.
Forklifts raising commercial viability of B.C. fuel cells
The lowly forklift could provide the key to elusive fuel cell profitability for local companies.
That early market opportunity for fuel cells has Richmond-based General Hydrogen Corp. eyeing profitability by the end of 2007 from what is a huge North American industrial sector.
“It’s the early success story for hydrogen fuel cells in commercial applications,” said president and CEO Frank Trotter, who estimates the market will provide “several billion dollars a year of opportunity for us.”
Two units of the company’s drop-in replacement hydrogen-powered Hydricity Pack batteries, representing sales of less than $100,000, were recently shipped to General Hydrogen’s first commercial customer, Bridgestone/Firestone Tire Co., for its manufacturing plant in Tennessee.
The battery packs uses fuel cells from Ballard Power Systems, whose original founders, Geoffrey Ballard and Paul Howard, started Delaware-registered General Hydrogen six years ago. For General Hydrogen, forklifts and other material-handling vehicles usually found in large warehouse settings now provide the best prospects for early revenues.
“This market is here,” said Trotter. “The other market will be coming later.”
General Hydrogen is now assembling about a dozen forklift units and targeting 2006 sales of about 100 units to manufacturing companies from various industries within the Detroit, Nashville and Georgia areas.
“If we’re able to convert two per cent of that over five years, we will have executed something over $400 to $450 million worth of business. It’s a very significant market,” said Trotter. “More importantly, the European market is twice as big.”
Although it’s facing the dual challenge of further reducing the costs of its components and winning over customers used to battery technology that has been around for almost a century, General Hydrogen expects this year to ring up several million dollars in sales and probably 10 times that amount in 2007.
The main advantage of the company’s technology compared with regular lead-acid batteries is that it lasts three times longer, up to 18 hours, said Trotter, because of the on-board hydrogen storage.
The operator, he said, can continue to work through an entire shift without having to stop and change a battery.
Trotter added that a forklift that’s being used heavily in two or more shifts a day requires between three and five lead-acid battery changes.
Companies can reap benefits from the improved productivity, but the cost of the hydrogen powered pack is slightly more than twice that of conventional lead-acid batteries.
General Hydrogen, which typically burns about half a million dollars a month on product development, recently received an equivalent investment from New York-based development company, GreenShift Corp.
“General Hydrogen has right-sized a clearly transformative technology at a scale that enables commercially viable use of hydrogen fuel cell technology today,” said GreenShift’s chairman and CEO Kevin Kreisler. “We’re very excited by this investment and we plan to help General Hydrogen in its development efforts in any way we can.”
GreenShift will buy 500,000 shares of General Hydrogen common stock and 500,000 warrants exercisable into General Hydrogen common stock for US$500,000.
“The trend to clean technology investment is very strong. I’ve seen recent figures which indicate that it’s more than doubled over the last year,” said Trotter.
General Hydrogen also sees other applications for its technology, ranging from ground support equipment at airports to providing standby power in data centres.
“Wherever you can see a lead-acid battery that is a large, industrial size, we are focused on replacing that,” Trotter said

Thanks Elderwolf,
Good w/e to you.
Pretty volotile today too !
Tried USD/jpy
Seemed a different trading style. Those sudden spikes to take out stops were different that EUR/USD.
I guess thats something you factor in.
Have a good w/e
