actually it's not much worse. We were in bad shape then on the other hand, European countries have had how many down grades? You think the PIIGS are all better already...just wait if that's what you think..

How many troubled government bond sales? bond sales that were spread all over the news whenever they found trouble finding a buyer..

The dollar is overvalued, just not against the euro as you seem to be getting @

Did you misunderstand the question?

Let me put it in bold...What has changed in the EZ since then?

Keyword is EZ
Not a lot really changed except the fact that we hear more the word austerity from the Eurozone than the US...
US Dollar is trash... Get out of that Ponzi scheme !!!

that I have issue with, it's the anti hedging policy. Many of times I would be in a long term trade in one direction, and scalping the other. Hedging has saved my ass more than once.
NBD. I have sub-accounts at Oanda - often I am running north and south at the same time. You can also hedge with options, binary options, futures - if you need to hedge the possibilities are many and confusing - all available right here in the Homeland.

I'm not saying that there is not any problem in the EZ... just that in my opinion, things are worse in the States. Maybe I'm wrong mate

50:1 is more than enough for me, the question here is, less leverage means that you will have to deposit more and more money in your brokers account...

the money has to come from somewhere - its either yours or your broker's. The leverage cap was never about placing a limit on the retail trader's "freedom" - its about limiting systemic risk in the financial system by scaling back what these brokers had to cover with their capital reserves. The best and most prudent brokers had already scaled back their max. allowable leverage before the regs were even proposed.

What is the fundamental take on eur/usd? Given the situation in european debt crisis and potential political shift in america. Of course, the yen intervention.

I bet you'd find that its true across the board. That top- and bottom-picking affliction is what makes the retail sentiment index a useful contrarian indicator.

Hey man, you might want to check out Oanda. I live in the US and have an account with them. You can create sub accounts under your main account and take offsetting positions in the two different accounts. It's really easy to move money around the accounts (takes a few clicks of the mouse and is instant), so it's not really any different than hedging in the same account. Anyway, I would definitely recommend them if you're in the US. Interactive brokers is also decent. 50:1 leverage should be more than enough although I do know people prefer more for differing reasons. I wouldn't give up man. I know it sucks that they are screwing around with everything but don't let them knock you down.

And on that note, I'm short yet again. As long as the Fed's hard at work (Re: POMO), it all goes out the window.....we're living in interesting times....

"the global economy mirrors the US"

It used to mirror Great Britain once as well.

The problem lies with exposure and not who is doing it the toughest..

Right now Im figuring those with US dollar exposure are re-weighting and diversifying given what the muppets at the FED are up too and their QE2..

How much more? Who knows but certainly its been a massive chunk and done by stealth..

I will look into a couple of other brokers, Forex has been good to me, I have made wrong decisions, but that being able to make counter trades has been my ticket. Will sick if I have to try to reopen my old business, or worse yet go have to work for someone.
