Damn, that new iMac design is making me horny... my wallet has to keep closed, though.

5mm on the edges, mountable to the wall... jummy.

G/U looks like it's going to be rejected within this H4-candle. My short-entry @5204 didn't trigger. Tight ass stop. I'm probably going to delete this order in a couple of minutes.
done.

focus on building that account, pay yourself for a few treats as a reward, but priority is getting that account up, so you can generate equity growth and a regular income without over-leveraging... I won't be happy till I get mine down to 5:1 or lower...

ok, gawn, c u later...

edit- btw, there's a guy at work who buys non-working laptops on ebay for pennies, usually with mother board solder issues... he puts them in the oven, gas mark 6 for 5 minutes and he reckons that 9 times out of 10 it fixes the problem, or if it's running slow he just wipes the memory and reinstalls windows 7 and then resells them, if he can't fix them then he usually gets his money back by selling them as spares or repair... he's making good sideline money doing it... he buys them for about £50 and usually makes around £200 on the resale...

You could probably explain that to me? I'm not sure, I understand that correctly, but if it means what I think it means, I'm lower than that, exposure-wise.

k, so if i want to trade 8 mini contracts on e/u i need to have 16k usd, 8 minis are worth 80,000, if i want 1:5 leverage then divide 80,000 by 5 = 16,000...

i think you mean percentage of equity at risk, which is different...

Ah, got it... I never enter that many trades simultaneously. I have a leverage of 50:1 on one and 100:1 on another account, but that doesn't bother me at all. I never go all-in or anywhere close to that, basically meaning I gimp myself, but in a healthy way, I guess.

I read about a lot of things, when I spilled the coffee over my notebook that, on first glance, completely defy logic... I would not be surprised, if the so-called "refurbished" products where treated in a similar way.

lol yeah, i bet...

btw, leverage should be expressed as 5:1 not 1:5, my bad... ie. i'm trading 5 dollars worth of a security instrument for every dollars worth of equity i have in my account...

exposure or percentage of equity at risk depends on your stop loss distance... i know that you know this, but i'm just stating the obvious...

ok, have to leave for work at 1pm gmt, so have 2 and a half hours to put my feet up... c u tomorrow...

Natural Gas and Political Games..

Quote
Exploratory drilling near the coasts of Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey has unearthed vast reserves of natural gas. Competition over the rights to tap those resources is compounding existing tensions over sovereignty and maritime borders. The eastern Mediterranean is quickly becoming as volatile as its eastern cousin, the South China Sea.
