@Pipped off - Agree cannot believe the VIX is trading at pre lehman levels when there is potential for so much more carnage. I'm hearing some ballsy trader has gone in big time on Feb VIX calls

Ashraf,

This tweet of yours had me in stitches:

brace urselves for the cacophony of Guidance EarningsEstimates WhisperNumbers ToplineEarnings Revenues Organic earngs, Post & PreTarp $$ .


It reminds me of the late 90's in the U.S., when all the large U.S. multinationals would cry about the strong dollar and it's negative affects on their earnings. So much so that Lou Gerstner, in a brazen effort to run IBM stock up so he can unload millions and millions of insider shares on the unsuspecting public, actually started the trend of reporting TWO earnings numbers" one with the real numbers, and one with "constant" currency as if the strength in the USD was not occuring.

These guys have been fleecing the public for years, decades. Yet the public always goes back for more. Can anyone believe the Vix is at 18? And CNBC is calling it "irrelevant" because "it is different this time". OMG!

Ashraf,

It seems we're ready to break 80 soon? I don't know why the weakness in USD & the China X figures didn't help oil...

jus back from a 90 min seminar. USDJPY finally breaks below 92.20 support and could potentially test 92.20. USD weakens ax the board but OIl remains adrift well below its session highs and $XAU never hit 1168 resistance

50 pip rally on usd/eur in 30 minutes, getting near 1.4560 shorting range per Ashraf.

Wonder how many lots eur he was short when he called for 142.00 for today?

Probably none! That's how they all work. Except the other guy who is disclosing all his trades.

The criminal activity in running stops in Usd/Jpy is blatant. It is all over the place.

92.20 trendline support just got decimated. Hold tight fols. We will soon get the next support level posted.

Like I said, 93.50 later in the week, AFTER 92.20 is taken out. And I said this at 92.55!

The FX is a racket run by racketeers.

No Mont-

NFP old news now. European session tomorrow will be same as it has been for a week now. They will run stops against eur/usd and gbp/usd shorts. Notice how the european trash currencies are now hotter than currencies with valid fundamentals like Aud?

FX only running on techs now-no fundamentals. Why else would eur/usd be bought over 1.45, when they could have had it one trading day ago below 1.43?

Because everyone all of a sudden is pounding the table for 1.4560 and higher on eur/usd-the same folks who last Thursday were pounding the table for 1.4200, then 1.38 Eur/Usd.

The game is simple. Just pound the table and yell louder than your competition in any direction FX is moving.

@Xaron: Thanks. Interesting, so we haven't really yet had a proper Asian session response to the NFP. Could be more fun and games tomorrow then.

Someone please explain how we went from gbp target of 1.5840, to being told resistance of 1.6300. Folks, this is a 460 pip difference without any mention of the reversal coming which caught all of you short!

Trades should be disclosed. No way he was short the gbp himself!
