LionK,

No offence...but I can't believe that someone could lose 11K LIKE THAT! I mean...I'm no Nick Leeson...but I'd give the market a REAL run if it were to grab that money away from me (or else I wouldn't have risked this much in the first place).

If you check my previous posts, you'll see me screaming (read writing!) risk management...risk management...RISK MANAGEMENT!

In fact, on a dozen or so occasions...I give (my famous) Natanz-scenario example (Israel attacks Israel) for leaving oil positions uncovered at night...and something like this happened over the wekend - Iran conducts war-games and this, partly, shoots gold up by ~$20...

P.S. The limits...the stops...the OCOs are there for us to use!

Ashraf,

I get what you mean...and believe that we won't cross the mark you stated. Say if a pattern DOES arise - and it should - then would the next target is ~75?

Ashraf,

If you don't mind, what form do you buy gold in? Bullion, coins, ETFs or certs?

Ashraf,

It's interesting to note that the market reacted largely to Iran's war games this morning (& a little bit to the USD weakness). Dpn't you believe that the market's just looking for excuses to sustain the momentum? If this is true, then surely it's not a good sign.

Oil, surprisingly, didn't react AS MUCH to the Iran news as one would've expected (or else the market is awaiting the awakening of the US traders). Another sign that the price would've collapsed otherwise!

The impetus seems to be rumors (otherwise the markets had been predominantly weak for the past few sessions).

LionK,

Though I'm discouraged to ask...but how are you?

Oh...and ofcourse, Yen's strength for the fourth consecutive weekend (this time thanks to Trichet)

Mates,

I've collected a MASSIVE *heheh* 200 (short) pips on oil...and still looking for more! As I say...

- Friday is a gamers' day (yet again!)

- No matter what the analysts say...oil is overpriced (amateurs rule!)

Again, we'll see 75 before 85... :)
