Having had a past career of troubleshooting businesses, it's always amazing how people never ask the simplest, "dumbest", questions as no one is ever brave enough to do so. It doesn't mean the person asking the "dumb" question is actually dumb but ...

Always capable of asking the dumb question: you do know that a reduced inflation rate doesn't mean prices are reducing but that the rate of increase of prices is reducing, don't you?

Whilst I do genuinely understand why you state what you do and to many it's sound advice, FX will only appear to be a scam to those who either haven't got access to all the information or haven't done the work to discover the best ways of dealing ...

Then we have different definitions of a Pivot. I don't disagree with the rest of your statement and the 'rot' started before this millenium. Politicians did not and do not understand how much effort goes into building up PROFITABLE businesses and ...

I don't think I'd class this one opinion of a potential pause in rate increases as a"pivot". At least we now know someone is cross-checking the data and correlating some future direction.

. Nothing funnier than the truth.

Correct.

Correct. What happens to miniscule traders is the net result, not the target.

It'll vary according to a number of factors, which makes it difficult to establish "a pattern". News which is hard-nosed and black-and-white, such as a defined CB Interest Rate, has less subjectivity to it, despite the market variations for ...

Hesron, Not for the first time on this theme, you have to learn to waste less time shouting "Manipulation" at everything that in the moment seems illogical or conspiratorial if it doesn't exactly match your expectation. What happens immediately ...

Absolutely.

I can laugh with you even we'd disagree about the substance. It's too long a discussion for here.

He could only hope for Unicorns to appear before now anyway.

Yes, I'd agree with that too. Just for now, it depends which data point lags another and at what point in the future all of relevant data points then correlate on the same trend.

Yes, I'd agree. That's a pretty good assessment, broad-brush.

Hesron, I know you have been present in FF for quite some time and I presume that you trade actively but surely to goodness, by now I'd have expected you to cotton on to some important points. ALL markets can be "manipulated" if defined in the terms ...

The population of the USA is supposedly about 334m people. The number of people in work is supposedly about 161m people. Help yourself by working out, in percentage terms, whether a difference of 6k is significant or not. It's a bit like asking if a ...

Don't waste your time trying to convince anyone that a roughly 55%:45% split = 100%:0%. It's simply not worth anyone's time gathering any plausible evidence never mind anyone's time reading it nor trying to understand the claimed logic.

I think you'll find that Bones was asking you a leading question, on purpose, in order to prove to yourself that your assertion was wrong. He was correct to point out that the UK doesn't Import "EVERYTHING". Your response was only to highlight what ...

At this point in time, GPU has lost 1% in hours after CPI was revealed as having dropped by 0.8% p.a., so the markets have immediately increased the RoI on all imports, making it increasingly likely that real term rates continue to have a large ...
