Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
Coffee appears to be trending down again, toward previous support at the 122.50 mark. According to my new system, I will sell if it hits a 20 day low, and will buy back in on a 20 day high. So we’ll keep an eye out and see if coffee breaks down further. Still long term […]
I just finished reading Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom by Van K. Tharp. Great read, and it really opened my eyes to several mistakes I am making in my trading – which is why my account is left open to so many major losses. This is dangerous when trading with limited capital, as I […]

In case you missed it, the Aussie $ got trashed during Monday’s dollar rally and carry trade unwinding. It was off about 4% on the day – ouch! I personally had to scale back some other positions in order to stay liquid through it. Was something I’ve been meaning to do anyway – needed to […]
