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...

mg - 07 Mar 2005 17:08 - 3629 of 11056

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 :)

hilary - 08 Mar 2005 09:17 - 3631 of 11056

You guys might like to look at the Sterling Yen cross. Not necessarily for intraday action, but instead for momentum trading. Once it moves into a trend it frequently stays there for days or weeks.

You could use a moving average strategy or an overbought/sold strategy or a pivot strategy (similar to below) and they should keep you in the trade for some time without knocking you out.

Seymour Clearly - 08 Mar 2005 09:29 - 3632 of 11056

Thanks for this Hilary - just the sort of thing I'm looking for. Do you set your own spreadsheet up for pivots?

chocolat - 08 Mar 2005 09:31 - 3633 of 11056

That's brill, Hils!

mostrader - 08 Mar 2005 09:54 - 3634 of 11056
