Buffett makes most of his money through his cash-machines or as we know them called Insurance Companies (Plural). A license to steal.

Any one of us given that bankroll might be able to buy up chunks of Coca Cola and McDonalds etc etc and be considered a great investing mind.

When you don't have to be concerned with cash flow it is a lot easier to take risks.

He's the richest person on the planet, and he is a trader, buying and selling the EUR/USD pair is trading.

All his money he made is trading options, stocks and currencies. You and I and all of us are investors and traders like Buffet. We buy or sell a pair in the hope it goes in our direction, Buffet does the same.
He also is investor buying companies that he know that they make profits. Buying shares of that companies means trading.

BTW the report says that he didn't reverse the position, he just sold it.
I'm wrong?
No he's not... he might have been at one time... but he's a true investor.

I'm not an investor... I'm a trader.

Trading and investing are two different games.

I've never held a position longer than 3 days.

So - for those 3 days would you say I invested in the dollar/euro?

No.

Good Grief fxterrapin - Why are your charts so damn BIG!! - 600x400 please - You're messin up my screen with those monsters!
Well if you are full time 24/7 as your nickname suggests, you really should have 4 or 8 monitors at 1920x1200 resolution. I know I do and for a reason - it is well worth it...

I actually do reduce the images before I upload them to what I thought was a reasonable size...

Having multi-monitors and hi-res (which I have also) has gotten nothing to do with having consideration for others when posting big-ass chart images.

Yes your'e right, buying in short term is trading:

A trader may not hold a stock very long or may hold it a long time, depending on its performance. An investor buys a company with the intent of holding on to the stock for a long time. (that's pasted)

I believe I read once that he was quite a trader in his early days.

Maybe someone who's read more about Warren (the rich one) can shed some light on his career... early years.

Again - I'm being combative but I've never heard of Warren (the smart one) being labeled a trader.

I dont need mutiple screens to trade - I trade by EA (I'm a programmer) - I have my PC for programming/games and my Mac that I LOVE - I just check my EA positions vs forum sentiment. I've won the last 9 out of 10 trades without touching my keyboard.

I login here just for entertainment purposes. The conflict is hilarious. I could NEVER trade forex manually and respect those that do. I tried once and got burnt out from reading forums, checking news, watching TV, etc. - I've given that job to my PC with a strict set of trading rules.

+68, +90, +3, +33, +7, -30, +32, +8, +67, +7 = (+315 -30)

I would readily admit that I don't have a clue about the UK economy. Ours is tough enough to figure.

But it sounds to me that this guy is looking to run for higher office so openly calling for accelerated rate cuts making like he is the savior or at least trying to show that he made the right call if in fact the BOE does not make more rapid cuts and the economy does worsen considerably.

Maybe that is how they do it over there? Speaking so freely.

Maybe you wrote one that does.

How long has it been running?
