I'm writing code and listening to Ray Charles sing Georgia on My Mind, while my pips go to hell. What about you guys?
I'm looking at how much extra baggage would cost me, as in, is it really worth bringing 50 pounds of teaching/training materials, and listening to a replay of an old Coast-to-Coast AM (well, the Man is listening to it on YouTube, and I'm just piggybacking). It's one of the wackier ones, and it's rather fascinating... even the host is barely keeping it together

Oh... and I'm watching cable go up go down go up go down go up go down... same 30-40 or so pips for the last how many hours?

The Man? Is that another youtube user or is it like your husband or what? I'm gonna go find this thing.

'The Man' is Mr. Boho... well, sort of, not legally but good enough.
If you ask him, he'll tell you he's the boss of me, but don't believe him... we know who the boss really is

The one we're listening to is called Hidden Discoveries or something like it - the one he dug up before this one was way wackier, but I don't remember what it was called. I guess he had one of those clients today (he's a tattoo artist) who talked his head off about all this stuff, so he just had to check it out - we've been mesmerized for oh, 4 hours or so?

Well, turns out Ray Charles was better after all. Now it's 4:25am here in wash DC, I should probably be going to bed, don't you think? Nitey nite all, or good morning rather, and kiss those pipsies for me when you see them!



Oh and please tell me you're not a Japanese lady. I promised myself I'd kill the first japanese housewife trader I meet, and you seem too much of a nice person to have their blood meaninglessly shed this way. Oh well. Good night.

No, not japanese by any means - Southern Euro mutt
Definitely not a housewife either (although... it would be kinda cool, if I could have a maid


It's 1:35 here on the West Coast, and I'm thinking about taking a nap too.

Actually, it's broken out now, just as I was sneaking off to bed. And I thought I was gonna sleep. I hate forex. You know what, I'm still going to bed with the short open. Good night

1:00 pm here in India, I'll take a nap if no action soon. I shall keep testing my patience and discipline in the meanwhile and there is no fun on working days here.
Wow, wow, was there some data or what ? I just woke up to see this cable falling like an apple

Top of the morning so it is !
RHC (red head cherokee) has forgiven me for laughing at her driving directions...peace in the farmyard once more and the rooster is squawking and looking at euro and cable...

They say you should NEVER fight the fed and I guess that goes for euro too... Tricky Trichet says look out or I will burn you so everyone runs for cover. Everyone remembers soros though and thinks perhaps the market can outgun the ECB. So stalemate.

I guess the euro stats are going to decide this and the ECB will be over-run if everyone reckons they cannot cut/have to raise.... so perhaps some pent up demand...

getting a cold ready for my weeks holiday en las islas canarias on sunday... but still time to pay for the holiday if we all muse correctly....

Ok, how does cable know where its fibs are and bounces so perfectly - on this drop, it went exactly to -38.2 and bounced. That's one smart currency!
(lol, ok, I know it's the traders, but the exactness of it still amazes me)

Oh, and in case you're wondering which fibs I'm talking about, it's using yesterday's hi and lo: -38.2 is at 2.0339, and today's low (so far) is... 2.0339!
Actually, if you look at the hourly chart, last hour looks really cool - top at 61.8 (0416), bottom at -38.2 (o339).

OK, I think this is my cue to really go to bed - I'm looking at fibs and thinking it's the coolest thing ever
