Yeah know itza hoot that you choose to follow me over here & over & above that actually think I'm gonna play along w/all your elementary antics.
This will be my last post to you on this thread....I said I dont have time for you on the other board....which means I surely dont have time for your BS here.....+ I aint gonna pull this board down w/your petty lil BS'n...I like this board & refuse to let you run your shananigans here.
But I will give ya this one reply here.
1st of all....it's sooo ez for you to talk smack since you have no $$$ on the table.....u run your lil mouth about...all the while I'm playin the r/e game & doin quite fine tyvm.
Also....funny you try & speak (& site articles) for obvisouly you know very lil about....if anything at all. It's no secret what used to be considered downtown Reno is nothin more than an outdated small town run of the mill downtown....duhhhhh!!! However, all you need to do is go look at all the other areas of town that's being built up....read, more development $$$$ being invested.....lotza high end shopping areas goin in....& have been for over 5 yrs now. You should take a trip there sometime to actually learn a thing or 2 & then you may see what is really goin on there....instead of readin some outdated sources that it appears know nothing about the area....wadda joke u r.....no $$$ on the table & yet you think you know of what you speak...2 funny. GAME!!
W/re to skiing....do a google for Mt Rose Einstein.....some of the best skiing there is out west....& w/out all the crowds of Tahoe I might add....not 2 mention w/out the Tahoe price tag. SET!!
Lastly, I find it humorous how w/in 10 mins you post on the other board & then waada ya know...mins later you appear here w/your Reno smak....ironic...NOT!!!! + you never did say it wasn't you....so I guess we now know the truth...like I didn't know all along. & moreso...you appear here (w/a fresh new IHUB handle I might add) & out of the blue make a r/e post about Reno.....but of course 1st threw out a few pathetic red herrings about some trival 4x BS.....prior to comin in on the Reno r/e thread...wadda hoot ur lavaturd. & MATCH!!!
OK...enuff of all your BS....like I said I don't have time for it on the other board & I surely dont have the time for it here. Having said that....I challenge you to post topical 4X info......after all is that not why we are here?...not for all your OT BS & sour grapes...I cant help it if you haven't a clue as to how to play the markets...wether it be stocks, 4X or r/e....like bare, a bigger loser would be hard to come by.
So there ya have it....if you wanna follow me around like a lonesome puppy dog whose starvin for attn.....you best post topical info....otherwise, my attention you will continue to seek.
So scram loser cuz I know you don't know squat about 4x & thus have nothing to add to this board....so surprise me & prove me wrong Moron!!!
Somebidy owes somebody a DQ.....
& w/a full 1/2 pt cut....I think that deserves a few sprinkles on that ;)~
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070918/fed_interest_rates.html?.v=14
Rolled the dice approx 15 mins b4 the announcement & went long cable & gold....shoulda stayed in it a lot longer than I did....still tho, I wont complain about bankin another $580 on the day....puts me over 21.4% roi mtd....movin on up.
Tho I suppose a few others here played this move as well.
A coupla comments here....
1) treaty schmeety.....is it not the open mrkt that dictates the valuations? Thus Greeny's comments last night on 60 mins w/re to the Euro takin the thrown from the US?
2) anyone have any experience (demo or live) w/CompassFX ?
Just opened up a demo acct w/em....they offer trailing stops 'n all....u can even set your t'stops prior to entering into a position....not quite as user friendly as MG Financial...but it is comparable to Oanda in that dept imo. Charts may not be as good....but hey, you can always use whatever site ya want for your charts.
Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of CompassFX or has used them.
Thanks!!
PS
L euro/usd @ 138.700....the Greeny effect...lol
&
S gold @ 716.920....call me crazy but I'm rollin the dice on the ath neighborghood....& even crazier still w/the 1/4 pt cut loomin manana...I'm goin w/my gut & doin the opposite on this 1...usually the best trades, the one's that make no sense....lol
Boooo....
& G'nite
Well after watching the 1st part of Greeny's 60 min piece...the only thing of real interest for me was that he admits to holding a currency or two....tho he wont divulge which one(s).....how much u wanna bet he's carry trading?
& he claims to have written 70-80% of his current book in the bath tub.....that's ironic cuz we're the 1's who r soakin in it :0
Back for the 2nd part of his piece....tick tick tick tick tick....
Place your bets/eom
& it's got the US by the tail ;)~
He's being interviewed on 60 mins.....here out west it has yet to air.
Think he's tryin ta push a new book or somethin?
Perhaps we'll get the early report from the east coast airing.
Perhaps u missed my commment about price appreciation returning back to the mean....& my well balanced comment on top of that.
Hmmm.....so u aint on the page u wanna be on either? That's a 2 way street argument my fren...aint it? After all, sounds to me as if your page is the one who wants to fence sit....(which I have no prob w/at all)....I just dont subscribe to the belief that prices will continue to fall & fall 50% more from here on top of that....not even 50% from their highs....unless of course u wanna continue to quote the most over-inflated regions like FLA...lol
I know u hope prices continue to fall for you own best interests (which also explains in turn why u dont want the Fed to lower rates...it all makes perfect sense now..lol) but if the Fed jumps in here which odds are sayin they will....prices should begin to stabilize over the next 12-18 mos....& more over, the decline in values should begin to level off sooner rather than later. Thus if you are lookin to be in a home for the long haul....I think you have from now thru the next 12-18 mos to get out there & find your best deal....ESPECIALLY if rates continue to fall as is baked into the mrkts now.
Indeed I think prices should continue to fall a bit from here....after all, the mrkt needs to return to close to a 6-8% natl yr/yr appreciation clip...after the last decade or so I think that # is now sitten closer somewhere's between 9 & 12%....so if we do indeed make that retrace back to the natl mean, we only have about 10% or so to go.
Whichever way it happens to go...best of luck to you in your search for the r/e bottom.
& here's an update piece on the Syrain nuke thread...& the very last line says it all....hopefully....."The new “axis of evil may have lost one of its spokes."

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’
Secret raid on Korean shipment
Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv, Sarah Baxter in Washington and Michael Sheridan
It was just after midnight when the 69th Squadron of Israeli F15Is crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syria’s formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way.
At a rendezvous point on the ground, a Shaldag air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames.
Ten days after the jets reached home, their mission was the focus of intense speculation this weekend amid claims that Israel believed it had destroyed a cache of nuclear materials from North Korea.
The Israeli government was not saying. “The security sources and IDF [Israeli Defence Forces] soldiers are demonstrating unusual courage,” said Ehud Olmert, the prime minister. “We naturally cannot always show the public our cards.”

A tale of two dictatorships: The links between North Korea and Syria
The Syrians were also keeping mum. “I cannot reveal the details,” said Farouk al-Sharaa, the vice-president. “All I can say is the military and political echelon is looking into a series of responses as we speak. Results are forthcoming.” The official story that the target comprised weapons destined for Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group, appeared to be crumbling in the face of widespread scepticism.
Andrew Semmel, a senior US State Department official, said Syria might have obtained nuclear equipment from “secret suppliers”, and added that there were a “number of foreign technicians” in the country.
Asked if they could be North Korean, he replied: “There are North Korean people there. There’s no question about that.” He said a network run by AQ Khan, the disgraced creator of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, could be involved.
But why would nuclear material be in Syria? Known to have chemical weapons, was it seeking to bolster its arsenal with something even more deadly?
Alternatively, could it be hiding equipment for North Korea, enabling Kim Jong-il to pretend to be giving up his nuclear programme in exchange for economic aid? Or was the material bound for Iran, as some authorities in America suggest?
According to Israeli sources, preparations for the attack had been going on since late spring, when Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad, presented Olmert with evidence that Syria was seeking to buy a nuclear device from North Korea.
The Israeli spy chief apparently feared such a device could eventually be installed on North-Korean-made Scud-C missiles.
“This was supposed to be a devastating Syrian surprise for Israel,” said an Israeli source. “We’ve known for a long time that Syria has deadly chemical warheads on its Scuds, but Israel can’t live with a nuclear warhead.”
An expert on the Middle East, who has spoken to Israeli participants in the raid, told yesterday’s Washington Post that the timing of the raid on September 6 appeared to be linked to the arrival three days earlier of a ship carrying North Korean material labelled as cement but suspected of concealing nuclear equipment.
The target was identified as a northern Syrian facility that purported to be an agricultural research centre on the Euphrates river. Israel had been monitoring it for some time, concerned that it was being used to extract uranium from phosphates.
According to an Israeli air force source, the Israeli satellite Ofek 7, launched in June, was diverted from Iran to Syria. It sent out high-quality images of a northeastern area every 90 minutes, making it easy for air force specialists to spot the facility.
Early in the summer Ehud Barak, the defence minister, had given the order to double Israeli forces on its Golan Heights border with Syria in anticipation of possible retaliation by Damascus in the event of air strikes.
Sergei Kirpichenko, the Russian ambassador to Syria, warned President Bashar al-Assad last month that Israel was planning an attack, but suggested the target was the Golan Heights.
Israeli military intelligence sources claim Syrian special forces moved towards the Israeli outpost of Mount Hermon on the Golan Heights. Tension rose, but nobody knew why.
At this point, Barak feared events could spiral out of control. The decision was taken to reduce the number of Israeli troops on the Golan Heights and tell Damascus the tension was over. Syria relaxed its guard shortly before the Israeli Defence Forces struck.
Only three Israeli cabinet ministers are said to have been in the know � Olmert, Barak and Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister. America was also consulted. According to Israeli sources, American air force codes were given to the Israeli air force attaché in Washington to ensure Israel’s F15Is would not mistakenly attack their US counterparts.
Once the mission was under way, Israel imposed draconian military censorship and no news of the operation emerged until Syria complained that Israeli aircraft had violated its airspace. Syria claimed its air defences had engaged the planes, forcing them to drop fuel tanks to lighten their loads as they fled.
But intelligence sources suggested it was a highly successful Israeli raid on nuclear material supplied by North Korea.
Washington was rife with speculation last week about the precise nature of the operation. One source said the air strikes were a diversion for a daring Israeli commando raid, in which nuclear materials were intercepted en route to Iran and hauled to Israel. Others claimed they were destroyed in the attack.
There is no doubt, however, that North Korea is accused of nuclear cooperation with Syria, helped by AQ Khan’s network. John Bolton, who was undersecretary for arms control at the State Department, told the United Nations in 2004 the Pakistani nuclear scientist had “several other” customers besides Iran, Libya and North Korea.
Some of his evidence came from the CIA, which had reported to Congress that it viewed “Syrian nuclear intentions with growing concern”.
“I’ve been worried for some time about North Korea and Iran outsourcing their nuclear programmes,” Bolton said last week. Syria, he added, was a member of a “junior axis of evil”, with a well-established ambition to develop weapons of mass destruction.
The links between Syria and North Korea date back to the rule of Kim Il-sung and President Hafez al-Assad in the last century. In recent months, their sons have quietly ordered an increase in military and technical cooperation.
Foreign diplomats who follow North Korean affairs are taking note. There were reports of Syrian passengers on flights from Beijing to Pyongyang and sightings of Middle Eastern businessmen from sources who watch the trains from North Korea to China.
On August 14, Rim Kyong Man, the North Korean foreign trade minister, was in Syria to sign a protocol on “cooperation in trade and science and technology”. No details were released, but it caught Israel’s attention.
Syria possesses between 60 and 120 Scud-C missiles, which it has bought from North Korea over the past 15 years. Diplomats believe North Korean engineers have been working on extending their 300-mile range. It means they can be used in the deserts of northeastern Syria � the area of the Israeli strike.
The triangular relationship between North Korea, Syria and Iran continues to perplex intelligence analysts. Syria served as a conduit for the transport to Iran of an estimated £50m of missile components and technology sent by sea from North Korea. The same route may be in use for nuclear equipment.
But North Korea is at a sensitive stage of negotiations to end its nuclear programme in exchange for security guarantees and aid, leading some diplomats to cast doubt on the likelihood that Kim would cross America’s “red line” forbidding the proliferation of nuclear materials.
Christopher Hill, the State Department official representing America in the talks, said on Friday he could not confirm “intelligence-type things”, but the reports underscored the need “to make sure the North Koreans get out of the nuclear business”.
By its actions, Israel showed it is not interested in waiting for diplomacy to work where nuclear weapons are at stake.
As a bonus, the Israelis proved they could penetrate the Syrian air defence system, which is stronger than the one protecting Iranian nuclear sites.
This weekend President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran sent Ali Akbar Mehrabian, his nephew, to Syria to assess the damage. The new “axis of evil” may have lost one of its spokes.
Indeed there's a lot to be said about being well balanced.....& I'll leave w/1 more lil Reno tidbit here.....this survey ranked it in the top 10 of places to live.

Article dated 9/14 states Reno housing market reports "strong appreciation"
http://realtytimes.com/rtcpages/20040226_reno.htm
Again I ask.....who to believe? Are natl journal w/lil local insight.....or a local relator wgho has a finger on the pulse?
The debate continues...stay tuned.
Hmmm....if I didn't know any better I think I could say who you are...lol
Funny....the more I pull up articles about an apparent housing "bubble"...the more stuff I can pull up telling folks it's a great time to buy as prices have fallen about as far as they can...who to believe here?
All I know is that for the long term investor, housing should be but one part of a well devrsified portfolio. Furthermore, as I am reading on many sites now a days....if you're an active housing investor, now is one of the best times to be looking to add to your holdings...ya know...the buy low & sell high thingy.
All we are seeing now is a simple (& well overdue) return to the mean...however, as investors (& homeowners alike) begin to feel that the mrkt is w/in 10-15% of a bottom, there comes a time when they will feel like they need to jump in. The only thing missing this time will be the homeowners & investors w/ave to poor credit....those folks surely wont be buying anytime soon. However the well qualified buyers (cash only & those who qualify for conventional 15 & 30 yr fully amortizing loans) will begin to buy & thus support the market w/in the next 12-18 months. Until then, sure, prices may fall another 5-10%...15% tops.....but not the gloom & doom 25-30+%...simply stated, there's too many well qualified buyers & investors fence sitting out there & I don't think they'll choose to rent forever or pass up good investment opps....which are right around the corner (if not now) w/in the next yr or so....ESPECAIALLY as rates continue to fall.
The real estate gloom & doomers ala UCLA & The Wall St Journal...gotta love'em......1 notch above the pumpers & dumpers from a penny stock board...lol
Good one Lava.

I don' think Uncle Ben has da kahoona's to not cut by .25 basis....I think it's almost a given he will....tho agreed, if he don't, all hell will indeed break loose.

Tons of posts since last night....still tryin ta catch up w/em all.
& shall we throw in N. Korea as a lil desert? :0
Just curious....after readin the Syrian news....was it just a coinkydink that the rat just happened to of had Stars of David around his floaty?
So much for sleepin well tonight....guess I best change my gold & silver tune for a spell :0
See what happens when I open my yap.....the L usd/chf position that I took up b4 turning in last night got called....my 2nd call of the month...& yet again.....if I woulda held just a few pips longer...wadda ya know...I'd be in the green again.
Startin ta think settin sl's r 4 woosies.....albeit smart woosies :0
& the Vegas event would be a hoot....maybe next yr we can try & get a group together from this board....I also wamted to go to the San Diego event a few months back.....tho of course Vegas has far more ta "offer" ;)~
Goin ta bed L usd/chf...just saw that 1....too tempting to pass up....& Daielo....the good ol' law of averages sure be a bitch when you've been on a roll eh...lol
Catch up w/ya's sonner rather than later is the hope.
Cheers!!
aka Raiderdad this time around...hehe
Doin OK.....tho not a lot of time to post.....tryin out my new strat....be thought of as a Fool as opposed to open'n up my yap & removin all doubt :0
Did OK shortin gold & silver ystrdy & today....also just scalped a short cad/jpy...just closed it out for a few pips.
I've only been stopped once thus far on the mos....was today...went short the cable & got stopped out @ 37 pips....& of course as it turns out...if I woulda simply held on I woulda came away in the green. Just tryin new things w/settin SL's....somethin I wasn't doin over the past 2 months....just tryin to mimick more so of a live strat I suppose.....it only cost me approx $336 so I guess that's not too bad....my only loss thus far on the month oudda 10 trades I think it is.
& I read the post suggestin for Diaelo to just sit & wait it out to see if he gets challenged.....for which I tend to agreee with....I'm just hopin he don't listen to that sugg cuz my strat is to sit & wait him out....lol
No worries as there's still plenty of time ta blow my wad.
& for the record....I'm thinken gold & silver wont be doin so well as long as Uncle Ben does his thing & doesn't dissapoint....in turn puttin the equities back on track. & of course this is all assuming there's no geo-political/terror wild card rearin its' ugly head...then all bets are off.
My better 1/2 is takin manana off as she always does on our daughters BDays....manana is our lil'est 1's 2nd BDay....yes, we were thankful she didn't decide to grace us w/her presence on 9/11....we were sweatin that 1 cuz she was already a week overdue on the 11th....the Doc 1st said he was plannin on inducin labor on the 11th....for which we said...."wait a min there Doc....let's at least try & wait it out another day"....& we're happy we did. We were holdin our breath up until approx 7-8p on the 11th....I was standin close by w/a cork just to be sure :0
Hope all's been well w/all.

4X pennies...aka da Oanda 2 step ;)~
Just ta keep your bearings well greased & in the game so u can stay sharp as u seem 2 b on a decent roll...keep it up Kimosabe!
Gota run & go get the girls ready for our day.
Cheers!!
I'm gonna roll the dice here & play the turtle bounce @ 113.294....& nice goin Daiello on your turtle short.....if the last 2+ months are any indication....50% should give ya plenty of wiggle room around these parts. If I were you, I'd start tradin the pennies for a spell & wait & see if anyone begins to challenge you....or simply dont trade at all...lol
On another issue....I gotta carry ?.....I've created 2 sub accts @ Oanda to practice the carry start....but because of all of the volitility over the past several hrs I got margined out of the long carry. So would lesson #1 be.....set tp exits at both margin call points correct? Otherwise one could easilly end up w/a an unbalanced (open ended) carry trade....albeit the profitable side of course as occured to me overnight.
Does this sound right.....& are there any other good lil tidbits one should be aware of w/re to the carry trade?
TIA!!
"Beats" workin 4 a liven :0 / eom
Who is 12821 & how on earth can 1 get into soooo many trades so early on in the month?
Me be thinken it's gotta be a very close relative of JRB bein that he's only got a 'measily' 24 trades on the books thus far
;)~
Has anyone laid claim to the contest screen name "The_Filipino_Trader" yet?
I'm wonderin if I know who this person is.....if it's indeed you "FT" no worries....I wont say who u r unless of course you wish to divulge it yourself.
Not sure tho...just a hunch is all.
Over trading....indeed an interesting topic I've been contemplating myself as of late...
leaving the contest aside....if one sets a monthly goal of say 10% & reaches this goal prior to eom should u continue trading? If not, than at a minimum shouldn't 1 simply carry trade til month end just to bag the e z interest?
The other side of the argument of course is...continue to trade trying to pad that 10% (or whatever the goal may be) so as to take some pressure off for the following month. If I did that however I'd surely wind up given back all my profits (& then some most likely...lol) in turn adding more pressure for the following month after it was all said 'n done :0
I was so close this month too....I was seriously contemplatin sitten on my early gains after week 1....think I was up almost 10%.....but then my very next trade was long aus/usd & I was up on that early....dint take my profit as I should've & then got whamboozeled as it took the plunge. Too funny, it was on such the upwards elevator ride for soo long....then priddy much as soon as I jump on it free fell. I stayed in cuz I thought there'd be a decent retrace back up.....but it never panned out. A perfect example for setting a stop loss.....if I woulda've, I most likely woulda finished in the green 4 the month.
OK....note taken & lesson learned (hopefully)...for Sept I will finally enter into all my trades w/stop losses....as I shoulda been doin all along I suppose. Guess I was just gettin lucky up until this month as I never really had a reason to set one.....all my positions either came back to go green or at least recovered enuff to make it a fairly minor loss after closing out the trade. I've also increased my leverage from 20-1 to 40-1.
Just for chits 'n giggles....is there a way to enter a ghost contestant whose only strat is to carry? Would be a hoot to see if that style beats us all.....looks like it woulda've this month...lol
2 trade or not ta trade?
Wadda ya mean nothin has changed???
At Oanda this months contest is titled
"I-Hubs August Forex Traders Competition"
& the Sept title is
"September Forex Traders competition"
Nope...nothin's changed...jus the name...LOL
But fwiw.....thx jus the same for trypn ta make it easier for lil ol me.....tho that's a job not many are cut out for...lol
& I have no clue as to how my screen name all of the sudden changed to Raiderdad for Sept....my display name is as u know Worn-Buffet" & my FX game Username is Raiderdad....it's been that way since day 1....I'm not sure y it is that all of the sudden Oanda has decided 2 use my Username as my Screen Name for the contests now???
As fo me....I could truly care less if I go bust or boom....in fact I kinda have a fancy as you've surely come 2 know for ridiculin myself.
Whatever.....jus tryin to understand it all....& u can't tell me the name has not changed...that much I know I have right cuz it's posted in black & white.
Jus let us know when to re-set....& u can put me down 4 your parimeter suggs for Sept...same as this months right? Fine by me.
Ni Tzzzzzzzzzz.
Agreed....I just dont have a good feeling in my heart about the way our so-called "freedoms" have been going as of late.
1 example.....what our govt (or shall I say the B&M gaming Lobby) has done to the internet gaming community w/in the last yr....in short all they did was hurt all the little investors while making a clear pathway for the B&M's such Bally's, Harrah's, etc. to enter to niche after they fully regulate it...but for now our wonderful Uncle Sam is sayin it's illegal....only to regulate it all in a yr or so...wadda crock!!!
The B&M's played both sides of the coin on this one....at first approx 3-4 yrs ago they were of course in favor of regulation....then after they rethought their stance....they figured it would be best to come out against it.....then after they feed our slimmy politicians enuff $$$$ to make it as illegal as possible w/in the relams of international domain.....then once that occured....all of the sudden they are now in favor of it.....UNREAL!!!
& StockDr...welcome to the board....tho admittedley I have no clue as to which pr's r lookin good.....haven't been able to pay too much attn as of late.....but try this....depending upon your strat....one move would be to simply look at some short term charts (no more than 1 hr out) & go w/whatever the flow has been showing over the last 2-3 days w/re to tops & bottoms.
GL & keep us posted as to your progress.....we're always lookin for some other pov's w/re to trading around here....so...what say u?
Cheers!!
Well that 'splains it.....now I don't feel like quite da Bozo.....the name was changed....I was lookin for the IHUB contest....like it was called for this month. Sure wouldn't wanna sign up for the wrong contest.....again...lol
I should be pending approval now.....& next time....pls, if u will....a heads up on the any name change would be nice so as ta save us time fishen thru all of the Oanda Contests lookin for a few familiar names.
Though I can understand why perhaps the name was modified & IHUB was left out of the description.....seems there's a bunch more sign-ups for Sept....pressure's really on now.
Who is the author & where did ya dig that 1 up if ya dont mind me askin?
Sadly, it wouldn't shock me.....seems most folks these days dont wanna stand up & fight 4 n e thing.....so lazy our society has become. Maybe it's cuz "the man" has increased our workday hrs from what they were a decade ago....simply to keep the roof over our heads & a lil bread on the table. What's the ave workday now in the US.....9, 10 hrs?...& still going up. No wonder we dont have the energy to make a stand these days....seems it's all part of a coy & covert "greater" plan w/the powers that be.
OK....steppin off the soap box & passin it on over to the next ranter ;)~
