The Bigger Picture Fundamentals and Resources

Quoting Tact1cal
I don't really want to know how big anyone's wang is lol.

I'm am curious though, what's so magical about taking information available and attempting to profit from it. When I enter a trade, after I enter the trade I look to news to confirm my analysis. You can use information after the fact to determine how right or wrong you are.

If I am looking for a surge in risk appetite and I enter a trade. I'm going to be looking for some headlines on Reuters saying the MSCI spiked on investor demand due whatever market condition sparked their interest....
apples. oranges.

i'm too tired to care much about this, but it's safe to say i'm not talking about whatever you are talking about.

summary : when i hear on the tv the dow jones moved a spiders whisker due to abc i feel like taking a big dump right on the tv screen. even when the market doesn't actually move they make up some story about why it moved some miniscule percent... except it didn't friggin move at all and it's all news-wankery.

only if it influences those who move the most money the most times, else if they ignore it all then so should we.

it seems to me that fundamentals is just one of many excuses and ways to make up a story so that those who don't know shit can sound like they have some grasp on something greater than themselves. a bit like creating a magic man in the sky who controls the universe as an explanation for all things we don't yet have scientific real explanations for.
You dont think scientific explanations falls into this category as well. read the history of science. science is more utlitarian, that is all.

fundamental has excuses, but technicals has more excuses.

have thought of trying your hands at option trading. it might suits you better.

no my wang is bigger!

making a profit based on available information is exclusive to the need for making up stories and magic for why things occur or do not occur.

i'm waiting on the day for some retard to proclaim their feng shui is their edge.
why cant somebody makes money based on available information. i think the main distinction is how that available information is interpreted. availability is important, but also very important is interpretation.

you dont think news move the markets? i know there is an obsession with micro-interpretation of ever fart and wiggles of the market. but news does move the market(9/11, blight, japan earthquake, chernobyl, etc.)

TA, FA.. all information.. basically hoping whatever little bit of info we get will help us out selecting profitable trades
dddd : the market will move, or not move, with, or without, news. but newspapers and news broadcasts have space to fill so they make shit up as though it means anything when it is all filler nonsense.

you don't understand the perspective i'm taking, and quite frankly my perspective is just not that important either way and was never meant to be so forget it, and i'm out. i should have kept my trap shut but i was half asleep and not thinking. peace yo.

Here is the USDJPY weekly chart between 1992-1998 and I have marked the week when the Great Hanshin earthquake, better known as the Kobe earthquake occurred and how it affected this pair. It is also an event that caused Nick Leeson to lose Baring Bank's shirt. Unfortunately the article does not cite any references in the Economic Impacts section and as stated "Discussions of Japan's 'Lost Decade' tend towards purely economic...
Good ole Leeson, still making a buck/pound talking about his exploits and stress, lol amazing world we live in.
