Hi Ashraf,

Firstly can I thank you for the seminar you held in Dublin mid-sept which I found both hugely insightful and massively worrying as I realised how much i dont know about the financial markets! I'm less than six months into the trading business and I'm just trying to keep my expectations in check, be patient and keep improving.

Secondly, I would like to give my 2 cents on oil/dollar.
I am fearful that oil prices will not hold the $80 level for the rest of the year. I still think at a global level economic growth and activity will be weak at best and the rally in oil is less to do with appetite and more to do with traders selling the dollar before they have their morning coffee! I am very possibly wrong but I just want to start forming my own opinions and not being over reliant on backward looking news. I will keep an eye out to see if this is the case weither way.

Anyway Ashraf, thanks again
dave

Ashraf, In light of the pain felt by Japanese exporters due to yen strength, what's the possibility of BoJ intervention?

Hi Ashraf,
do you expect the equities to continue its rally?
I noticed that gold would move up each time there is a rally in equities market. is there correlation here?

thanks!
