Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Right im off out to remortgage the house and put it all long cable.

Talking of dodgy syrups, I might have the odd skeleton in my closet.

:o)

I think you could do worse Jeffmack :-)

Harlosh - yes I was referring to the MACD.

Hils - fair point.

ALL - just whiling away the time trying to get a longer term fix on where we might be going - medium term. My gut feel is with Hils - and that the 50p $ has been within our grasp for a few months now - but never materialised - so it would need a concerted push. When I looked at the weekly it made me wonder.

So ...... evryone

A BIG PUFF :)

Goodness me Hils - did you spill the Creme de Menthe ??

Another long signal looming on the 10-minute.

Hil: Wow. So it wasn't just me that had a mis-spent youth.

MM - you know what they say - if you remember it you couldn't have had one - I have a gap from 13 to 33 :)

I just have a gap :o)

'nuff said

Right - off out for a mid-week Balti. Left a position to open long at 480 - if it ever gets there - have fun y'all.

Link To Fed's Minutes

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Federal Reserve officials at their January meeting
shrugged off past concern and said the outlook for growth and inflation was looking
promising, according to minutes of the meeting released Wednesday. The minutes of
the Jan. 30-31 meeting said that FOMC members saw "a more favorable outlook" for
prices and growth than had been anticipated. Only one month earlier, FOMC members
had been concerned that a "subdued tone" of economic data meant risks to growth
had increased. The Fed members maintained their view that inflation was the top
concern of the central bank. Despite the recent good news on inflation, members said
it was not clear yet that a downtrend on core inflation had been "definitively
established." After all, the drop in energy and rent prices could well be temporary,
members said.

Odd. Gold going mental(up 200points on the day), Oil above $60, and the $'s
mooching about doing nothing in particular??

It'll sneak up on us like Bangalore Torpedoes in a Madras, Mels.
Here's hoping that the initial jobbie stuff will provide a little spice to unbung it a bit.

Probably, Chocco. :-)

Been having a look at the STIRS contracts to see if there's a stealth
move going on in anything to give us a clue, but they all look as though
someone's run a steamroller over the charts.

Bernanke's Goldilocks story is starting to get a bit boring.
Why can't he tell the one about the Big Bad Wolf, blowing down the
House of Straw and gobbling up the fat little piggy?
That would make life interesting. :-)

I was going to post an article that landed in my box this morning before the CPI numbers came out, but I couldn't get the links to work.
Just mailed it to you, Mels - maybe you can do summat with it ;)

Got it, thanks Chocco.
Will have a read.

Gold surged to a nine-month high in New York after the U.S. said inflation accelerated more than forecast in January and commodity prices jumped.

The consumer-price index increased 0.2 percent last month, more than the 0.1 percent economists estimated, boosting the appeal of gold as a hedge. Crude oil jumped above $60 a barrel and corn reached a 10-year high, helping to send the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index to the highest level this year.

480 didn't fire so I've removed it - am now looking for a short this morning.
