Oh I do hope they get this sorted out quickly. Europe will be better off without Britain (no special cases, no drag on anti-money laundering legislation etc), and Britain will be better off without Europe (it is what the British public wanted after ...
Europe's leaders urge Brexit clarity: 'We need to know what the UK wants to do'
- bigblue commented Jun 21, 2017
Brexit is good for Europe. It gets rid of the drag (the UK) that has scuppered laws against money laundering, banker bonuses, tax havens etc. No one in Europe really gives a toss about the UK leaving. I don't see Merkel, Macron or any of the EU ...
Brexit In Reverse?
- bigblue commented Feb 22, 2017
Debt everywhere - UK, US, Europe. Germany, France, Italy and UK all pretty much the same. So what is the argument about? Brexit or no Brexit will not make any difference. For the UK it will just be on unelected government replaced by another ...

In 1900 there were 5 dollars to a pound. We saw 2 dollars to the pound in the first decade of this century. This is a long steady decline with some dramatic declines interposed. In 1900 UK was the most powerful nation on earth, now it ranks 6 after ...

Carney: Uncertainty, the economy and policy
- bigblue commented May 12, 2016
Don't know what it is about the EU and Euro. People been talking about the demise for as long as I can remember (and that goes way way back). And yet here we are - still no breakup, and the UK should leave the EU just to end the whining. EU is a ...
Italy must choose between the euro and its own economic survival

I think many of the people selling the big dreams work for the brokers - now there's a way to make money. Don't listen to the BS - if you do 20% a year you are a rock star.

Someone speaks some sense (Guest). Don't get too excited about the UK economy either - the Tories are just pumping the economy up with a housing boom before the next election - it will all end in tears.
Why The EUR Remains So Resilient & Where To From Here? - Nomura
- bigblue commented May 16, 2013
Leaving the EU is just about the UK avoiding stricter regulations on the financial services industries - the tories are looking after their own (as always). With one of the the most lax banking environments on the planet (why else do you think all ...
UK exit from EU may really happen
- bigblue commented Aug 20, 2012
Give me a break. UK and USA is in a much worse state than Europe in many respects. The Euro is on its way up - not that the Germans (and Finns) want that. The PIGS are the price they pay for a weak currency - but the benefits far outstrip the costs ...

I think some of these issues have been explained in the previous reply. A discretionary trader should have a record of trades - above 30 and he/she can start to make some estimate of what their expectancy is (ie the average money made per trade). If ...
Trading is not a Business

I take your point about the semantics - and it's the thing most people get heated about. My central point here has always been that positive expectation is almost everything - all the rest is math and management (which can be got from books). I've ...

Lower Euro is good for Europe - the PIGS are a small price to pay. Couldn't have played out better for the wealthy Euro countries really. No European bust up - things look good - despite everyone jumping on the doom and gloom band wagon.
ECB's Draghi says euro not in danger
- bigblue replied Jul 21, 2012
I'm fairly immune to abusive/emotional rubbish you get on forums like this, but I have been surprised at the desperate need to map trading (which is one kind of activity) onto business (which is another kind of activity). Why people need to make ...

A depressed Euro is exactly what Germany wants - look how the DAX is responding to it. The PIGS are the price the wealthy Euro nations pay for a cheap currency - a Euro breakup would be a disaster for them. This is a partly engineered situation and ...
