[boarderbloke]

is this the start to the second dip?

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?

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.

interesting that they are nullifying all the trades after a certain per centage drop. tells you who this market is working for. the guys who make the rules can change them retroactively. wouldn't want to see goldman get hurt.

It will take years to resolve the financial mess that socialism has wreaked on Europe. The Greek debt crisis is only the beginning. This will be spreading to other European nations in the coming months and this is going to weigh heavily on world financial markets for a very long time. Be prepared for a long bear market.

I agree, Japan has been fighting high debt and unfavorable demographics since the early 90's. Their only saving grace was that the rest of the world was booming. Europe will have no such luck. There's a very long road ahead.

actual trading.

If you are just starting out the knowledge you will gain from a broker is well worth the extra dollars. If you need some decent ones, who actually care about your trade, drop me an email.

My second choice would be where you bank because you have a rapport there if anything goes awry.

Last choice would be an online site for beginners. Dick for backup. And before all you seasoned traders blow a valve, this is for someone entering the market.

Farmers who learned the ropes with an FCM and then made the jump to online have a better track record.

my 2 cents ...

All I want to do is cover some aggresive (25bu/ac) forward marketing with an in the money or even something just out of the money call option in case there's a wreck and I have to buy more expensive tones come November. It also gives me upside potential. Nothing that's rocket surgery yet.
