Radu,

If I told you, I'd have to kill you. But I learnt it this past Monday (otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here writing to you - I'd be running wild south of France).

Ashraf,

I'm worried! No...seriously. What did you EXACTLY mean by "goodluck"? Was it a 'well then goodluck son!'?

Chloe,

I use weapons of mass destruction to short oil - derivatives (even our yet-to-be-born would come equipped w/ what these are! :p )!!

Gold...at 1016...is THEEEEEEEEEEE sexiest thing I would consider shorting (apart from Megan Fox, ofcourse ;) ) at this level. Do I know it will come down? Yeah. Would I do it? No. Why? Because I'm invested in oil and (variety of) stock indices at the monet. The last thing I would want to do is to trade...hedge it...and again counter-hedge it (we'd be back to square one, right? :S ). Besides, gold has been a bit TOO volatile for my appetite. I'm seeing 989 and 1007 in the same day for the past few days!

Ok, need to ask Ashraf s/thing. catch later... ;)

Ashraf,

Besides oil, i'm short on Footsie (above 5100) and long on Nikkei (above 10,250). Do you find it cool? I thought hedge the weakness of the GBP against the expected strength of the Yen!

Do you find the combination exotic? Only time will tell... heheheh

Ashraf,

Nikkei went up by a 120 points and then scaled back 160 in electronic trading. Dow is up 20 points in electronic trading. Gold is 1015 and oil is 71.00 (shorted exactly here). What does this tell you?

If they say that cash-for-clunkers had an effect on retail sales, then it's immaterial because the Government is scrapping the scheme soon. Isn't the market getting beyond all logic?

Again, my gut points that today could be the day. What does your apt analysis suggest?

Qin,

Seriously! But why? I came back to ask, why? Is it because he works for CMC and you're anti-CMC?

Honestly, do you know what I think about your trading? I hope I'm wrong, but I believe that going by your impatience and temperament...you would fail as a trader under pressure! You're emotional...you're overconfident...you're stubborn...aaaaaaaaaaaand you're single-minded - perfect recipe for liquidation!

I gather that I'm waaaayyyyyyy junior than you...so would you be offended if I advised you to calm down? What if you learnt someday that most of the people you criticize make more money than you think you can think of thinking about?

You're a sly one, you know. You put up a suggestion and then say there's a 50% chance it'll happen. What on this Earth doesn't have a 50% chance? You're smart. But no matter how smart you are...there's always someone smarter...
