OK...this is weird...I'm posting on PC #2 (the kids beater...lol) b/c the Mrs' is hogin MY bad boy (hehe) at present & wadda ya know...the posts are being switched from bold to non bold after being read.
I had ta log in on my Ihub acct on this pewter so perhaps I need ta simply log out on the other one & log back in...that may be the fix Daiello....try it out & let me know. Sumtins tellin me the Mrs' will be on MY pewter for awhile catchin up on her all email....which she does approx 4 x's a mos. Think she has over a coupla hundred ta sift thru...mostly junk of course...which drives me up the wall...the whole reason for havin 2 PC' is not so much so that the kids can have their own PC...it's really so that the Mrs' can do all her online ad surfing, buying, link hitting & other inet stuff that puts all those lovely cookies on your system. u should see all the JUNK she gets in her email box....if I didn't know any better I'd think she's been buyin viagra & lookin for a side squeeze on a few of those find a date sites. She surely aint been given me any viagra....not that I need it...then again, if her side squeeze(s) needed it, man alive, that would surley speak volumes as to how much she dont like me :0
Anyway....funny, I used ta think 1 gig was fast...now it seems like it takes forever ta get stuff ta load.....runnin 2 gigs on my PC.
But I digress....
no real beef to be expected til sometime manana at the earliest I hear.
Agreed however I happen to subscribe more so to the "more the merrier" philosophy....after all, it's a #'s game, the more folks we have posting, the better info we tend ta get.
+ I enjoy hearing as many viewpoints as possible....& that also helps if u r a sentiment tracker...which I tend to like ta use.
& since we're on the topic...do u know y JRB pulled his site down? Looks like it's down for good....then again, those are the kinda threads I dont like....but was willing to help out what lil I could.
Jus curious...thot he had somethin good goin there even if I didn't like the sticky layout.
OK...good...at least I know it aint me bein a bonehead...I did lay a post down about it for the Ihub crew a few mins ago on the Q&A board...or whatever they call it.
I'll keep ya "posted"
Was curious w/re to The Forex Factory...the joint where Cap has wondered off to.....lotza good stuff over there of course & stands to reason y Cap has strayed....but man alive....I'd much rather simply read 1 board & if there's something I like or wanna save....I just bookmark it...e z. I suppose I could do the same w/a thread like FF...but still I prefer this lounge type atmosphere. Personal pref indeed...but Cap if u happen to be readin this....dontcha be such the stranger...always enjoyed your valuable insight & commentary on stuff.
Attn Cap....or whoever was the person who wanted sticky threads....
looks as if Ihub now offers this feature...albeit it looks like it can only be controlled by the MOD's...also evidently you can only have 3 stickies per board....not a lot.
I think this is what u were referring to as being the main reason you wondered off.
not sure if this'd be enuff ta get ya back (only 3 sticky's per board)...but there's a link explaining what it's all about at the top the each page....the one that says
"Checkout Ihub's groovey new featrue...Sticky Notes!"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33574916
Persoanlly, I don't perfer the whole sticky thing....posts get burried in a specific topic & I cant ever recall where they were...lol
posts remaining in bold after being read......
for the last few days now I've noticed that when after reading a post it stays bold as if I've still yet to read it....even the "previous" & "next" icon on each post remains in bold as if I've yet to read a post for which I already have.
I dont recall changing anything myself...but who knows....is there a way I can change this back to the way it was previously?
TIA Gentz...Cheers!!
Hey....anyone notice the last few days....
that after reading a post, it stays highlighted?...as if I've yet to read it?
Did I by accident hit some key to change this setting? Can't figure it out....it's kinda nice ta know where I stopped & need to pick back up & now that all the posts stay highlighted...I gotta rely more so on my brain....a dangerous thing :0
Have others noticed this too...maybe an Ihub bug?
& yes I've gone into my acct settings & all that....cant seem to find a config setting that addresses this issue....& anyway, I was never on that page to begin with so I know it wasn't me if it has anything to do w/a setting on that specific page.
Any suugs/comments? TIA!!
I suppose this is ? for Ken....but is this specific tool in question a historical chart of quotes or is there something else to it that he & his team are also working on?
I did go to the link & from what I could gather it looked like an excel historical. Would be a good addition to the the forexclub.us site...if the CaT doesn't already have something similar there.
& Jester....w/less than 2 hrs ta go....ya best start on the espresso....a reg cup o'joe aint gonna be doin much good at this point.
Cheers!!! w/my wknd venti soy QUAD Marble Mocha Macchiatto....& if ya can say it 3 x's fast they give it to ya for free ;)~
shalom-alchem ;))
Stay on the rd long enuff & it will....
the Skynard tune "What's Your Name? comes ta mind....
"....9 o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again"
Damn if it wasn't happy hr w/the CaT 'n Crew at the bar & I missed it.....but what I missed it for wasn't all that bad....was watchin cspn...they were playin today's Kashkari (the baldy TARP dude...ex GS robot...what else) testimony & the dem representitive from Baltimore Ellijah Cummings was on a roll....& damn if he didn't actually point his finger directly @ Kashkari & called him a "Chump"....I swear it....no joke....LMAO!
I'm glad someone had da kahooonas ta do so.....Kucinnich & Issa were grillen him somethin rare as well....tho Bilbray from the north San Diego area was pretty e z on him...wadda ya expect from a repub.
Anywho....I'll be sure ta turn out the lights on the way out as I down my last shot of Monavie on the night....paaarrdeee!!
Guess that's another real sign of old age...gettin off on a real potent antioxident fruit drink as opposed to some of that good ol' Southern Comfort I chugged back in the day.....oh the times they are a changin.
Catch ya'll manana for a few rounds.
Cheers!!
P.S. Jester....word of advice from a Mr. Mom....dont lay the Pinesol on too thick....that's huge no-no & will get ya busted quicker then a cop sticken his head in Cheech & Chongs car.
I know NUSSING!!! :)~
Stevie Ray Vaughan is old school?
Yeah....suppose so..lol
live w/my $50....I added after I blew thru their $25....but that's all I'll be given'em.....dont care for their platform....gonna go w/Oanda after I perfect a strat or 2 that I'm workin on.....then maybe go in there for $250 or around there.
Time for a lil Fast $.....or more like Slow $ it should be called these days.
Happy Wknd all....we're off to The Green Festival in SF this wknd...gonna try for both days...Sun for sure.
Cheers!!
Indeed....take the fast $$$ & run....tho if it were me I'd maybe leave $250 in...give yourself a lil more wiggle room....for one like you, just think all the continued "damage" u could do.
If that $50 were a $250 beg bank u'd be closer to 10K by now eh.
Keep it up & at this rate Schneider will be down 1 in no time :0
that's affirmitive....but itza real slow go on the live side....reminds me of the SRV tune..."Life by the Drop"
'n w/a smile :)))
u da man....
but what....u couldn't bag some profit today? Weren't ya right at 2K ystrdy afternoon?
dude...at this pace 4K is gonna take ya another mos....lol
Nice job Swami....very well played.
10x4 good buddy....or whatever the sign off call is?
looks like I'll be stuck bein a wknd bag holder w/an e/j long @ 124.27.
Was doin good all day in & out w/this pr...short & long playin the ranges only ta get caught w/the spreads goin into wknd mode....tphhhfftt!
At least it's only 1 lot & I have a fairly strong belief that this one is gonna be goin higher....actually it should be all over the place come Sun when we begin ta hear all the G20 news.
Well since u asked for comments (not that u needed to..lol)
this says it all...
"For more details and specific recommendations to follow, be sure to subscribe to my Real Wealth Report."
ie if ya wanna drink his kool-aid :0
Not sayin what he's sayin doesn't make some sense....I just don't see it all happening quite this fast...but who knows...look how "far" we've come in the last 6 mos...so wtfdik?
But I think I can safely tell ya that as far as folks like Generic go, this Larry guy is not only paranoid, but also border line dellusional...& here's hopin he's right on this one...lol
Spoke w/him ystrdy...all's well....teasin a 2K bank...from $50 2 weeks ago...not bad....& he's prolly north of that by now. Think he said he was gonna be comin up for air here sometime today.
& Jester....ya mean ya couldn't dig up a pic of da kool-aid dude himself?
U b slippen mah fren :0
Contrivance & Hucksterism.....always learin new things here....tho admittedly I think I know what Hucksterism is ;)~
had ta go look up contrivance....shame on me for not knowin & or at least figuring it out right off the bat....duhhhhh.
Hope folks find it a useful/successful way ta trade...already got one under the belt this AM
short e/j @ 123.38....1/2 already scalped & the rest is doin a "Dylan"...blowin in da wind ;)~
Tho I was thinken last night....I should prolly consider closin out more lots w/the usual 20-30 pip profit...after scalping the 1st 1/2 of course. This way the bank will be built up at a much faster clip...especially at the begining. So say as much as 50% of the trades where ya see those moves you should grab'em. Then as your acct grows over time u can adjust accordingly & try more so (maybe up it to 75% of the time) for the larger 100+ hits.
If I woulda covered more plays ystrdy in the 20-30 pip range I'd have a far larger bank by now. I've let lotza pips go w/this start.....hundreds as I look back...& that's something that someone in my trading position should not allow. Gotta take those pips sooner...at least in the beg as ya build your bank.
Indeed, it's all your own appetitte for risk & money mngmt as they say.
Great posts over night/early AM....& Daiello....to answer your ? from a few posts back....Wirth was leaning towards the belief (tho he wasn't all too convinced either) that this was more a captulation move off the bottom. But note that he also said this the last time it occured as well back on 10/10...as did you as I recall...hehe & this is the reason I feel he came off as lil gun shy to truly say this was the bottom. But I suppose a case can be made for it bein the double bottom w/the 2nd bottom bein a higher one. As for me, I aint sold on that one yet...& for many reasons....one being mrkt sentiment...many folks out there still have pretty good convictions that there's still more pain to come....hard to disagree.
All I know is....keep in mind we also gotta get thru the eoy tax selling among a few things that will surely be placing added pressure on the broader indeces no doubt. & dont forget, Mutuals aren't completely done w/all their redemptions quite yet..as I'm hearing.
I think early Q1 will be the tell here....once Hedge Funds & Mutuals are able to reload & figure out just where Camp Obama is gonna be taken us....then & only then may we beg to see some sorta clear mrkt direction...imo of course.
OK...back to my still sick & at home 6 yo.....& I see where my sl was already hit on that Dylan 1/2 of the e/j....coulda had another 20 pips as it were.....but alas..gave'em all back. Next turn I'll be lookin for the 15-20...always a work in progress.
I hope you read the tongue bein firmly planted in my cheek there UB.....I think ya did....as did every1 else here who knows...I hear ya....been leanin more & more that way the last few yrs I find. At last giving it all more attn & thought than I ever did b4.
hehe....funny how offended some folk can get w/the simplest of views/comments. How dare u even think gold is gonna be goin lower.....c'mon get w/the program man & drink the koolaid already will ya.
Tho don't be surprised if he's gettin paid in Happy Meals..& those wealthy types who are payin him....most likely the same one's servin him up all his Happy Meals ;)~
Another comedian....pull up a chair Generic....
if you've been readin this board (which it sounds as if you have), it's pretty hard to offend folks around here for merely stating your opinions....no matter how paranoid some of us may truly be :0
never heard the belief that those who subscribe to conspriacy theorys, wether it be in part or full fledged, are also paranoid. But just cuz one is paranoid, doesn't necessarilly mean they are also delusional, does it? ;)~
But dontcha worry 'bout the fringers, they're really quite harmless...just so long as ya aint out ta get us (aheem I mean them) like every1 else seems ta be.
Anyway....I'm gettin kinda paranoid that ya think I'm delusional...so I best stop here :0
To what degree then to you feel conspiracys exist...or do u happen to believe they are non existent?
Daiello.....Wirth was on the show today....citing a case A & B for today's turn on the Oct (10th was it?) intraday low.
& in case u were wonderin Macke chooses case B...of course...hehe.
& Jester....they also spoke about govt made cars & even made mention of the Yugo...evidently the Yugo was more aerodynamic while in reverse....no joke...lol
Also there was a Chinese car they spoke about....the QQ Cheery (gotta love the name)...maxed out @ 51 horses & they even showed a crash test clip....let's just say...all together now...OUCH!!!
& there was another govt made car they mentioned (furget the country) where the steering wheel was the shape of a square....what country was it that the Flintstones resided in again? ;)~
Botton line...govt running Detroit & thus making cars is def not in our best interests....no surprsies there...no wonder they are considering it :0
OK....ck'n out here w/3 positions runnin risk free...
all short
usd/chf @ .1874 aud/us @ 6665 & euro/jpy @ 125.20
& I should stop sayin that these are my b/e points being that I've already bagged'em all for a few pips.
Back later on....3 yo has Gymnastics class in a lil while....gotta go get her down for a nap b4...otherwise she's sure ta get the boot right oudda class for bein a cranky ass lil ankle biter come 3:30....lol
Cheers!!
U really should consider it....quick scalps & u r done.
Jus be sure to make those original stops very tight....ya can't afford ta get wiped out on 1 bad trade losin more than say 10 pips a turn.
Ya gotta bank at least enuff scalps to cover for all the originating position stops u will surely get.
Try it out....it's a hoot!
Jus took a coupla pips on the aud/us & the rest @ b/e.
Really makes it e z ta walk away at anytime.
OK...thx...beg ta make a lil more sense....seems I'm still in the old school mind set of it all.
tho I gotta say.....if I had hedge fund type of $$$ in the mrkt & my hedge fund was in the red, I'd be quite PO'd....a true hedge fund as it were should be making an absolute sick killing in today's mrkt.
Like the guys who rolled those cds' & were on the right side of all that...bankin on huge mortgage losses...among the few who (that Lahde dude comes ta mind...gotta love that good bye I'm off ta smoke pot letter....lol) have made an absolute killing over the past 12-18 mos.
nice.....finally got stopped out b4 bein able to take any profit on the last 2 & thus settin to b/e. Settin real tight stops tho on the entries so if they hit, I aint losin much.
back at it again here short euro/jpy @ 125.20...already took 20 pips & set the rest @ b/e.
alos workin on a short aud/us @ 6665....have yet to be able to set this one to b/e...gettin close tho as it's already there...gonna need a few more pips tho.
OK...all 3 previous positions got stopped out @ b/e....movin on....short aud/us @ 6613 & short euro/jpy @ 125.04
Carter Wirth is the Chartist's name u r ref to.
I'm wondering what his take would be now...post Paulsen flip flop. Mrkt sentiment imo has changed since then (when Wirth
was last on doin his thing) & mainly b/c of Paulson's 180.
OK....this strat seems to be gettin me back on track.....
as soon as I see a lil green....a few pips...I cover 1/2, set the sl to b/e & let it ride.
I've already done this w/all 3 positions.....hard to lose this way. Kinda like the ol classic penny strat...spread your seeds all around trying to obtain as many $0 cost basis positions as ya can....then walk away & hope 1 day ya come back a kazillionaire :))
Anyone here ever try this w/the currencies? Ya gotta be real patient cuz much of the time your other 1/2 gets stopped out...so the profits u do bank are 50% less thus makin it a real slow go....but your risk is limiited or nil but eventually over time u gotta hit a few grand slams.
I would think this would be a very popular way to play...at least for we lil fish.
& as I look again....I'm now up fairly nicely w/these 3 risk free positions....58 w/the eruo/jpy, 57 w/the aud/us & 207 currently w/the gold. I really wanna cover here but gonna try my hardest not to...see what happens.
short aud/us & gold as well here....
aud/us @ 6530 & xau @ 726.65....where's ol' JRB when I need'em? ;)~
gotcha....so it wasn't a case so much as losses as it were redemptions & not havin the assets to cover'em all at once.
Still tho....if a hedge fund was doin what it was supposed to (net short the mrkt)...why on earth would folks be wanting to bail? I would think if anything, it would be hedge funds who are cleaning up in this mrkt enviornment.
Guess I'm still missen the boat here somewhere.
& man alive...will ya jus look at what the euro/jpy has done on the way back north....WOW!!! If I would held the 1/2 I did hang onto awhile longer (had the tp on the remaining lot @ 120.67) I'd be up another 200+ on top of the 130+.
Maybe time to go back short here I'm thinken.....short @ 122.83...gonna try 'n ride it back down.
covered 1/2 eur/jpy long @ 120.06 = 123 pips...lettin the other 1/2 ride awhile longer.
Thx to Zav for pointen out the short call which he nailed....given me the opp to take it long after it fell like it did...good stuff.
Out to go p/up the preschooler.....catch ya in a lil while...later.
Cheers!!
& speaking of Hedge Funds....been meaning to ask....
all these funds goin belly up....I thought the whole idea/strat behind'em were to be a bet against the mrkt...thus net short equities. A true hedge vs the mrkt...thus the name.
What am I missen here? Surely I have it wrong or else these funds woulda fared quite well over the last yr or so showin phenominal gains. I always assumed hedge funds were net short the mrkt...or at least took up a fair % of opposing positions from that of their clients portfolios which for the most part are net long. Am I to understand it that all these funds in question were net long the mrkt....so much to the degree that they went belly up? If so, seems to me many weren't doin their job...asleep at the wheel...at least not net short to the degree they shoulda've been.
Wadda mess!!
Soros....
mind you he's been yappin recession/depression for yrs now....like a broken clock....it's gotta right at least 2 times a day...lol
http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/081113/business_us_soros.html
having said that...I just went long @ 118.83....hehe
nice call.....just dropped like a rock from the 119.50 range....comin back a bit now...still tho at 118.75 & showin more weakness.
VN ZB!!
