Dude, take off the tin foil hat. Countless people owe their entire wealth to the financial markets. Of course the insiders have certain advantages - but we also have advantages on the retail side as well. Physical Volume is dropping because it is ...

So as a western guy working in finance, I should go to China to pick up girls? Sounds amazing. Sadly they do not have a functioning liquid credit derivatives market - so I'm not interested. CDO's before Ho's

Based on those comments in the report about changing the spread between different clients, I don't think they've done anything wrong there? I'm not a market maker - but my understanding is that the spread is whatever you quote it at - if the client ...

Negative rates would be VERY interesting to see what would happen in EURCHF. Imagine the tide of euro money flying to the CHF. Could get some incredible risk/reward trades there if SNB has to adjust the 'floor' in EURCHF

I spend a lot of time in China and compared to a few years ago, there is lots of credit tightening and an obvious slowdown in development. This is to be expected though, and Realjumper is spot on - the media will try and paint a picture of "The ...

Blowing up the fed = Bullish USD

Is this actually happening or just fiction?

Zero Hedge does generally publish the truth, but all the hype is excessive. It's "car crash" media. I follow ZH and find it very interesting - but when they say that you should move to a farm in the country, grow your own food, and keep guns and ...

These are really nice reports imo

You need to think more than just EURUSD. Both central banks want a weak currency so it gets manipulated. Meanwhile in London - FTSE up 600 points since march. Then take a look at the S&P since June.... it's risk on. Anyway, 'Guest', my point was ...

And it will probably go back there. Hardly the end of the global financial system is it? I'm a fan of ZH - I just miss the interesting stuff they were publishing 18 months ago. I honestly don't care if Draghi raised an eyebrow more than usual during ...

As much as I love reading Zerohedge, it is getting pretty old. Their links to corporate filth are amazing, but this non stop 'end of the euro' is boring. I think it is very easy to be a doomsayer and predict that the world is going to end every day. ...

An article of complete trash. Waste of time

Oh... The Guardian. We expect better from you. It's not tax evasion if it is leagal. Classic media pointing the finger at the flavor of the month public enemy.

Hey, I'm not in the 'fan club' - I just back China to power through for the next c.40 years. Of course having 8+% growth year on year is not sustainable but through expansion and contraction I believe China will dominate our generation. Manpower, ...

You clearly don't understand. The point is - even if China is ravaged by a plague that kills 1/5 people this summer - The only news that will hit the media is how China's gymnasts are bringing home a stack of gold from the Olympics.

Slow down? Maybe. But they still have all the 'tools' in the bag. Monetary and Fiscal. Another huge difference is that when decisions have to be made, they are done in hours not months (like in the west). China's version of democracy means that a ...

It's hard to get any direction trading EURUSD when BOTH central banks want the currency to be weak. It's simple vs high yielding.

Wave up on EURUSD maybe. Hello EURNZD sitting on dat support
