Ooops. Closed a usdcad short for +60, had a oco order in which I then cancelled but I presumed by cancelling one that the other would also cancel. Wrong, found that I was then long. Drats, had to close that for -30. Should of let the oco close for me which was the whole point of it. Lesson learnt.

Came in late - obviously after the bull party - and having a go at shorting all this enthusiasm. Short from 252 and 247 - so happy so far. Looking to exit around 230

{EDIT - stops now in @ 250 - just in case it gets all bullish again]

chocolat - 04 Mar 2005 17:13 - 3615 of 11056

...did you? ;)

Got stopped out around the figs - was nowhere near a screen to salvage my short.

mg - 04 Mar 2005 17:18 - 3616 of 11056

Don't be rude - or over-excited - yes I did - and now I'm gagging for it - shifted my limits to 19185 - 'cos I'm a hungry beast wot's in need of gratification and stuff .....

chocolat - 04 Mar 2005 17:35 - 3617 of 11056

Well I've gone long 19236 - hope I pressed the right button :S

Just put a stop in at 28 so I can go and raid the fridge. *gulp*

mg - 04 Mar 2005 17:52 - 3618 of 11056

Choccie Contrarian - I think I spelt that right - We're going DOWN on the bulls - brace yersel' sheila - it's gonna get tuff on the fridge gobblers ;)

chocolat - 04 Mar 2005 18:04 - 3619 of 11056

chocolat - 04 Mar 2005 18:22 - 3620 of 11056

Well this is ridikliuss - if in doubt, hoover the fridge again.

Something from FT - Warren Buffet.

Mr Buffett believes the dollar has further to fall and the US trade deficit risks turning America into a sharecropper's society. It is only fair to point out that the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway is talking his own book. The value of the group's foreign exchange contracts mostly short positions against the dollar increased to $21.4bn at December 31 2004 from $12bn the previous year. That caveat aside, Mr Buffett's reasoning has merit.

chocolat - 06 Mar 2005 23:09 - 3622 of 11056

Absolutely, BT - and I did question the accolade he has of being the world's greatest investor over breakfast.

chocolat - 06 Mar 2005 23:28 - 3623 of 11056

Still long ;)

Still watching to go long again

mg - 07 Mar 2005 13:47 - 3627 of 11056

Just popping back in to gloat about my short positions taken out on Friday - now closed from 245, 249 and 254 - big gains but only relatively small positions.

Now long from 125 and 130

chocolat - 07 Mar 2005 13:51 - 3628 of 11056

It's not easy being a contrarian...

Returned to close both out at 171

chocolat - 08 Mar 2005 08:38 - 3630 of 11056

Great stuff, cableman ;)
Still long, with the odd bit of shaving and re-entries :)
