The Ukrainian situation has put a huge wedge not the plans of these planners. Outside issues scare the he'll out of the rigged and manipulated markets. I really believe if control is lost now it will get really volatile and all the balance sheet and financial punditry on market watch, Msn, and other sites with the HFT, PPT and Central bankers, politicians will be surprised how no one will respond in the manner they believe they should. At that point no one knows what happens. We (USA) have abused the dollar, energy is not solved and with the middle east volatility only fools turn our backs on pipelines, sheer ignorance. The debt, unemployment situation is horrific. One small or large issue like further aggression and the boomers will make Nostradamas kook like an amateur. Keep playing with fire and intellectual pride instead of starting to put people to work with real productive uses like pipelines, fracking, lower taxes on individuals, lower on us Corp.

What do you think the rise in the stock prices is if not inflation? Take a look at some long term charts in the commodities since 2007. There is sonetimes incredible inflation such as lumber but also deflation such as in housing. Oats has been whacked recently and sugar looks about ready to do a coffee. Hope you all saw that interview on Bloomberg by the Chair of the WGCouncil forecasting Chinese gold demand up by 25% over next four years. Slightly different take on gold demand flat in 2014 which was the apparent reason for further declines in price. Also nice to see all the bearish comment, sentiment definitely for lower prices. More spikes due soon to screw accounts flushing both ways with the volatility in the news.

I'm ok as long as I bet small amounts on each trade, but that wouldn't be enough to afford a condo in Paris.<br />Personally as well, I prefer to have another activity than only day trading. I've tried before, and knowing that trading is your only way to earn your life's money is also stressful.<br />I consider trading as a complement, which I can practice when I have time, i.e most of the time, the time units are long enough so that I can monitor the trade not every 15 minutes.<br />When I started, I didn't know anything, but that wasn't here, that was 15 years ago, and I first started by losing some money, I think just as anyone else :)<br />I've learnt a lot of useful things throughout the years, especially patience, and many of them on this blog thanks to Dan. At least enough, at the moment, so that I don't lose money anymore.<br />Remember : greed is bad :)<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335835171576180359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-63022099917908976032014-04-24T20:21:19.155-07:002014-04-24T20:21:19.155-07:00White Wolf you would have an entirely different pe...White Wolf you would have an entirely different perspective if you had to trade to make a living.<br /><br />You would drop your biases and watch the tape and stop with what you would wish would happen.<br /><br />No cheerleading here, just reporting what the facts are, what is really happening on the tape.<br /><br />Not some gloom and doomer's fantasy.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068811838777958318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-76762147202608062852014-04-24T19:36:38.001-07:002014-04-24T19:36:38.001-07:00The truth is exposed ...then run for the hills.
