I can claim no credit for this piece but it’s a great way for traders and non-finance types to understand the predicament of Ireland and the economic system in general.  This was attached to the comments on Robert Peston’s latest post on his BBC blog. The piece itself was shamelessly lifted from ZeroHedge. Enjoy. Mary is the […]

I woke up this morning to reports of North Korean artillery fire against South Korean islands.  These two nations are always taking pot-shots against each other across the DMZ however it’s fair to say that firing 200 artillery shells is more than a pot-shot.   “Old Kim Jong Il’s upto his old tricks” I thought.  You see […]

It’s been a very jumpy morning on the intraday charts. I had a signal to take GForce long this morning and even though I had a view that it might not trigger or if it did trigger then the likelihood of getting 70 pips was slim (with it having to break the big 1.600) I […]

I read a few Trading Newsletters, not many, but a few that have relevant and interesting pieces in them.  I recently read one of the articles in Van Tharp’s newsletters written about Chuck Le Beau and his trading story.  He’s talking about his experiences working for a broker and working with one of their best Traders, […]

Hello Traders, I haven’t posted here for a while….believe me I wish I had been in a position to do so!  Unfortunately I managed to strain my quads and rupture my hamstring playing some sport recently and am very much confined to barracks.  Very painful and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! No looking at […]
