Did you see our 1000 pip DD boy was thumping his chest over in the u/c thread?? lol... just had to laugh...
Gobshite! I did see it. Was going to say something, but left it...thump away.

"I'm a fundie trader...trust me, trust me, trust me..."

I'm just a trader, and did just fine out of it...not 1pip of DD. I'll stick with my approach...definitely prefer it...fundamentally.

Trading fundamentals is something the average retailer will need 10-15 years of trading experience to get his head around. No disrespect to any on these forums, but the only one I can have a decent fundie discussion with is Sisse.

Yeah, what a load. I had a reply set up multiple times and just closed the browser window. Same for me on the DD, I paid the spread and I think maybe a pip or 2 on some slip.

Spread included, with target met, 1:60 r/r... yeah. LOL... I certainly have no problem writin home to moma about that!!

Gold hanging around up here, shorting 1880 for a test of 1700. Huge divergences at these levels showing up.

hey rat girl......whats up, cat got your tongue...

Rat@rseface has been trying for hours to get the noobies to buy it over on the muppet thread. I have had very few countertrades today, why fight a good thing????

Ah well, hopefully it will margin out a few more to clean the garbage dump up a bit.

There still are a few counters available here of 77, as it has been all day long, that opportunity is going to dwindle the more often we test the darn thing.

They got a battle on their hands, I estimated earlier they would need about a trillion this year to keep it above 1.20. The markets are going to love this, keep driving it down and let it get close to 1.20, sit back wait for Hildy's boys to finish their chocolate and ride here back up again. Billions will be made on this.

The Franc will continue to strengthen because everybody and his brother in Euroland will now keep on depositing there knowing that the SNB will keep the rates in check, freakin madness.

The SNB has spend 200Bn so far...
Not really agree on that one. My opinion still is that the SNB move is a preemptive measure to overshoot expectations and is probably the best possible decision they could have make.

Is a "win-win" situation.

One the one hand, If shit hit the fans in the next few days in the EZ they are building a mattress (and the more people keep buying close to 1.20x the stronger will become without the SNB having to do anything). The cost of a tsunami double dip triggered by the EZ debt/bank collapse is way to high too not take precautions.

On the other hand, if all problems in the EZ are "solved" (last minute like usual) the euro will rally and with the rate differential between the ECB and the SNB the move will widely amplified making the 1.20x the natural floor/S of the impulse move "without having to put a dime"

so we'll see

Yeah...utter wank. IF somebody in that position actually knew what they were doing...and still felt in control of the situation...

You're telling me they wouldn't have added to the position at -1000pips for when the cavalry showed? You're just going to sit there and get back to BE, then thump your chest? Ridiculous!

Someone like me doesn't even pretend to know wtf is going on with the Fundies.

But, I do appreciate the insight into the fundies from those that do.

Hell, as much as I have been wrapped up in the news lately, I predict a world that will be burned to the ground based off of fundamentals Can't seem to get my head out of (and around) the nonsense.

Funny part is, he still needs at least another 200-300 pips just to get his r/r to a 1:1.

But your right. If I was a fundies trader and was betting on the SNB, i'd be adding buys all the way down to the bottom.

Hahahahahaha...pretty much!

Well...don't think it was his doc...self-medicating on this one. He said a couple things to me about the FF career...and the state of the joint...but was in private, so I'll let him spill them beans if he decides to.

He's good, though...I'm sure we'll see him from time to time.
