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...

"hedging USDCAD longs, you could consider i) shorting NZDUSD (ii) long EURCAD."

Are you sure?? AUD, NZD and CAD is commodities currency, they are moving in the same direction in long term.......EUR/CAD just touched its tech top two days ago...........it is not hedging strategy, but bullish USD strategy......ahah....
Are you trying to rip off people??

Asad, chloe, as i explained in today's IMT, the fact that USD strengthened along w stocks and oil was due to fact that strong US data was CONSUMER related and it is such data that US need for any real chance to get out of recession (not manufacturing or industrial production). we saw this 2 mths ago when US unemp rate fell and payrolls showed smaller decline. thus, ONLY when we see real chances of US recovery is when USD GAINS on strong data along with stocks.

USDCAD breaks below 1.0735 support, so we move onto next support of 1.0630. Remember one thing: Just last week the BOC ADDED A PHRASE ABOUT EXCESSIVE CAD STRENGTH IN ITS POLICY STATEMENT. As for ways on hedging USDCAD longs, you could consider i) shorting NZDUSD (ii) long EURCAD.
