To put that in perspective...

Making 9% a quarter, starting with $1,000 would make you a millionaire in about 20yrs (adding $0 along the way). If you added $100 at the end of each quarter, you'd have $2 million at the end of 20yrs....

So yeah, I'd say 9%/qtr isn't too bad!
It's also nearly 40% py - wish I could get that return on my ISA.

I should clear one little thing up: I fully support anything that makes you money and happy. Like you said - newbies shouldn't do it, but if you have an understanding of the bigger picture - it makes more sense.

I appreciate your semi-support Chris. I wouldn't recommend the M15 to a newbie, it's just plain chaos....but if I know what I'm looking for, and see the opportunity to get into it on the small charts...well... why not?


Part of it's just plain about experience too. Like your post about GU. Looks ripe to the uninformed, but probably just a correction. Better to look for longs farther down.

Funny thing is, trend doesn't mean that much for day-trading, if the trend is up, and london sold off, sure, I'm looking for longs during NY, but if the trend...

Anyone else got a feeling the Euro could be setting up for a big fall at the 1.5000 area? I just get this sinking feeling, the charts kind of show some developments on the weekly/monthly outlook too...

Fall uphill?

Anyways... follow the trend. We are long until we aren't.

I think I know what our friend here is getting at.

The truth is, the EUR/USD chart is a huge f**king mess. There isn't so much trends, as there are violent thrusts up and down. Take a look at a weekly chart over the last 4 years - it's out of control actually.

Funny how Bin Laden being dead made the futures rise.

As a side note, American news agencies are talking about the same thing over and over: "We have to be careful how this is received in the Arab world."

Are you serious? Talk about the pussification of America. Right now there are several hundred people outside the White House doing what they should: Celebrating this pig's death. I hope they used pig blood soaked bullets like they used to in the Philippines at the start of the 20th century. (Kills that whole "going to Paradise argument.")

Can you imagine our grandparents, you know - the ones who lived through WW2 worrying how the death of Hitler affected the psyche of Germans?

Look at how bad our president has been and he still has a 40% approval rating. He has messed up nearly everything he touched, and even if you are an out of touch liberal that thinks a country can just borrow money forever and never have to pay it back, you still have to be pissed off he expanded our war efforts to a third country.

Lots of ignorance and cowardice in our society today. Until we start setting up some voting limits I don't think the USA has a long term chance.

Yeah and America may not care how this is perceived in the Arab world but unfortunately the Arabs have a lot of oil and America has an energy problem.

If the Arabs ever get their act together America could have a real problem.

I know Osama was responsible for a lot of terrorist attacks on America(if one believes the media propaganda machine and ignores the conspiracy theories), but blaming and attacking the whole Arab world because of that might ultimately prove to be a grave mistake.

I think the true problem lies with our leadership. We can solve our own energy problems if allowed to.

I would argue that if America ever gets its act together - its the Arab world that will have a real problem. Why? 318 Trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves. (This translates to being able to fuel the US for over 200 years.) LNG stations were originally being built to import into the US, but had to be reverse engineered to export last year as so much has been found.

Also, 70% of oil comes from the Western Hemisphere that the US uses. But think of it this way: If we would ever drill our own NG and oil, the Arab would would be irrelevant overnight. If you think about it, what else does the Middle East have that the rest of us want? Nothing. Think about that - the ME would fall back another 100 years overnight. No matter what you think about Trump, he has one thing right: ME and China can't function without us - we buy their stuff.

Also, its time to stop bowing to others - we have nothing to apologize for, no matter what certain circles may think. A lot of the world seems to blame the US for everything. The jealousy of the standard of living is generally the culprit. Of course, there are other countries out there that have high standards of living that bitch about us, but as soon as they have a natural disaster or a military problem, they line up at the door of the White House with their hands out.

You people are lucky I am not the President, I would do the unthinkable: cut all foreign aid. Period. Let the chips fall where they may. I wrote a while back that if the US stopped exporting food, over 90 countries would enter a classification of being either famine or under provided overnight.

Yet, we are the assholes. I think that I speak for a lot of my countrymen when I say clean up your own dump first, then bitch about us.

I like this chart on a pullback myself, which kind of reminds me of the S&P 500 right now - it has broken out and now seems to be overextended at the moment. A pullback should bring in fresh buyers of both markets.

In fact, I closed my calls on the S&P500 today, collected profits, and am looking to buy at a lower point. I would do the same in this market as well.

I couldn't run - too many skeletons.......

He is good with business, and I think that is one of our biggest problems. I read somewhere that he is actually running up front in recent polls. Of course, that whole thing with the birth certificate might change things....only time will tell.

All I can say is "thanks." If I could vouch for you again I would. My thoughts were echoed through your post.
I am lucky enough to come from a family that slaved their entire lives for oil production and we know about the vast reserves and the technology.

Great post.
