    What's Next for the U.S. Dollar? [view article]
    Despite not being an FX trader, I try to "pay attention", looking for knock-on effects in equities. The article is both interesting, and informative, but I find myself siding Dollar Pimp on this one. If oil stays in a range of say, $100-$115/bbl (which I think is plausible, barring major supply disruptions), that could very well provide enough moderation in inflation to forestall draconian rate cuts by the cental banks.

    The US trade deficit is still enormous, which should put pressure on the dollar in the intermediate to long term. Reply

    Forex trader here, with a different point of view. There's another camp (myself included) that believes central banks are going into neutral mode as they wait and hope and pray for inflation to moderate. Attention will be directed away from interest rate differentials to the US's staggering twin deficits. Other economies may also be slowing, but STRUCTURALLY, the dollar is on very thin ice. Reply

    War in Georgia: How Markets May Feel the Effects [view article]
    A missile defence? You really think that would solve 18 year old conflict? All that would do is trigger another war, that is exactly why you- with your missiles are sitting on your bottom with your hands crossed hoping for the best. Russian nuclear arsenal is twice as big as US, needless to say more advanced- no one wants missiles to fly both ways.
    As for the real matter, Saakashvili should stop relying on the US for nothing. Ofcourse Russian hasn't done anything good as well, but come on guy you really wanna be in NATO now?
    I support Georgia though, wrong believes on Russian part, and there are other ways to reply.

    More Money Making Ideas for This Market [view article]
    On China, you write "Long term you can't go wrong". Beg to differ. Russia was a great industrial growth play with a stunning future as a major world power ahead of it - in 1910. Ten years later...

    The issue with China is purely political risk. Will you actually be allowed to own anything there, and to reap the rewards of risks taken? Or will you simply be fleeced? Sure the upside if you are allowed to partake fairly, is sizeable. Since the chance of that is roughly a coin toss, however, it needs to be.

    What will China's relations with the west look like the day after it retakes Taiwan by force? Anyone think that can't happen? Who is watching the news?

    In the long run, even modest growth rates and compounding would grow to huge fortunes in finite time. Look around, where are those fortunes actually in evidence? A few in the civilized west. Nowhere else have property rights been stable enough long enough to amount to much.

    The present value of what French investors lost in Czarist bonds is greater than the French national debt. Political risk isn't a premium for being brave about something that can never happen. Anymore than the premiums on junk bonds or subprime mortgages...

    What can you expect you you send a checkers guy to a chess match?
    Geopolitical risks were not counted when it was decided to put our "observers" in Georgia, and to put our missile defense in former Warsaw Pact nations.

    I agree with User 235613.... Why would RIO advertise the fact that they are looking ... It only serves to drive the price up in advance.... There is another possible buy of course.... That would be PCU .... They're down due to the same commodity issues and ongoing strikes in their mines... Seems to me that this might be a better buy for RIO anyway....

    Global Stock Markets: Let the Gains Begin [view article]
    You can take a trading "stance" without actually executing a trade unless there is a trade to take. Don't trade out of boredom, but be prepared with a plan.

    Sometimes you actually have to watch what the market is doing to determine what it is saying. Why try and be a hero? A "long term approach" can also mean "get out and wait for lower prices".

    Contrarian Trading Tips: Gold, the Dollar, Energy and Financials [view article]
    So gold has dipped to below 820 and could go further. It is a major blow-off but if you have the stones and the cash - preferably debased U.S. Dollars you might want to pick up a few dozen bullion bars in a week or so. Why? I can't see the fundamentals changing for the US$ can you? Also, no matter what, when the gold you hold is truly oversold, it'l break and in its wake, will leave all except the bold! Happy trading - er take a deep breath and enjoy the fun. If you're reading this, you probably won't starve. Reply

    Wow, gold is now down another $5 to $830.50 - I'd say hold off a while longer in buying gold - the wild ride - er, slide - continues. Reply
