Its the equivalent of not knowing how to operate an off shore platform - the results are disasterous.

Or for that matter having the cwb sell your grain.

It was a human mistake by the sounds of it.

Larry,
Do you have a recomendation for an on-line trading site for grain/fuel/dollar futures and options.

Spooky days

Q stabilization propaganda

Reminds me of homer simpsons "everything ok
alarm",which was basically a firealarm that went off all
the time until something bad happened.

Holly european bond market problem.

CP I can't understand why bonds are going up weren't you talking about them dropping?

[boarderbloke]

is this the start to the second dip?

[furrowtickler]

O.K. WTF just happened, just got in from seeding, can't pull any links - need the markets for dummies version.

Our dollar crashed almost 3 cents today.
So the American stocks drop does not hurt us Canadian investors too badly at the moment. Got anything interesting to share CP?

[cottonpicken]

Watching where the liquidity is going can help predict
what may happen.

The fact people see american debt as save is weird to
me,and the fact the canadian dollar sold off is also
odd.

Maybe it is just a case of people trying to anticipate
where everyone else is going,or goldman is doing
something freaky.

Its crazy,

The last place I would put my money right now is us or eu bonds, in fact i did the opposite and shorted them awhile back, trade has gone against me a bit so far and may get worse in the short term if there is a so called flight to safety but I am going to hold tight.
