Again guys....I'm a newbie...and even if I wasn't I don't think I would be able to know for sure what's to come. But the stock market is behaving too much like before the big crashes. Good news are bad news and bad news are good news...the Dow up and down like crazy. Something BIG is on the verge of happening.

Up or down is the timeless theme.....but I have a gut felling that a few Soros's ( the senior) will make billions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes indeed...shaky market at the moment...DOW down -40....it was just about breakeven....

Folks are concern....and if somebody is making a billion can they please throw some my way..........

cable you hardly penetrate the support @ 2.013's in the morning, it was so simple for you, so don't act as if it is difficult for you to breach it again now
F**K Cable again

Just read this in Financial times, (very reassuring) :

“If every CDO [manager] was forced to mark to market their subprime holdings, it would be – well, I can’t think of a strong enough word to describe what it would be,” confesses a US policymaker.

Quoting cesarnc
I agree with that... What I call B.S> is that everytime dow closes green you read "turmoil is behind, we've found the bottom, worst is over".

Early on next day, dow futures is -10 and you read "market turmoil goes on, we may haven't seen the bottom yet, the worst is yet to come"... I mean, if you read the newswires so compulsively as I do, you wouldn't believe.

Today's CNBC was:
- Stocks tumble on interest-rate worries
- Stocks off lows, but credit turmoil worries remain
- Stocks in positive area despite credit turmoil worries....

If Dow Jones closes at 13.4K today we will read. Stocks soared on credit worries waning.
Got what you were trying to say Cesar !!!!

I know you can be a bear or bull according to the market...and that is beyond being smart, it is a matter of survival....thats why you have everybody's respect here !!!

Now disregarding what the media is saying, since they don't have a clue. I still think forex will continue to be counter-intuitive. The dollar is between a rock and a hard place....BUT...counter-intuitively it should go against all odds and cable should tank....big time !!!!!

Am I right ????? Don't know....I'm just trying to explain why I'm disguised as a bear at the moment.

Take a look at the chart below....(from MIMO, a great trader from Slovakia) it is about the cable's cousin EUR/USD.....but maybe it will give you guys an idea of where I'm coming from.

I'm just trying to help.....if I'm wrong, the bulls can feast on my account !!!!

2.0133 was the 2nd key for cable today, now cable had an hourly close below this figure 2.0132 which is a good sign for breaching this level, but cable now doesn't follow anything, it's just moving upwards and downwards without any goal, just to say that it is here and still alive

The good thing is I can see lower highs and lower lows, and lower hourly close for the last 4 hours, in addition of breaching 2.0133, and an hourly close below this figure, so good job cable, we need more

"Carry Trade Meltdown: Comparing August 2007 with October 1998

The losses in carry trades have exacerbated by a few hundred pips after the flat Philly Fed reading and continual tumble in the Dow. Even the VIX index hit a 2003 high. Everyone is comparing today's move to October 1998, when the Yen crosses fell from 1000 to 3000 pips over the course of a few trading days.
October 1998 is the closest comparison to the current financial crisis. That was the year that Russia defaulted on its debt and Long Term Capital faced major losses. At the time, the Federal Reserve responded with multiple interest rate cuts. Below a comparison of the most recent price action against the price action in October 1998. The moves over the past few days still pale in comparison to the moves that we saw nine years ago. Therefore now is not the time to increase risk. Big moves like today necessitate lower leverage."

I think you may relax pino... all this crap today gave nothing but another triangle in the 4hr. lower trendline at about 0075. No reason why not could be pierced with this volatility....

I just would not consider expecting too much more than that to the downside... Odds favour a more and more ranging market until tomorrow Bernie's Golden B.S.

Look, i was here in some of those days, at least the most recent ones.

You might not remember me, but i was right here everyday in May trading the correction of Cable.

I will never forget... 3.1 Inflation and the bank rose rates and switched clearly to hawkish and the freakin market droping 200 pips in the same day.

What i have to say my friend?... Just this... We damn learned!!!
