No one is mac friendly

Etoro is for a three year old! But it certainly has more casino to it than swing trading!

MAC, bleh... If MACs run Java, and I don't know that they do, Dukascopy is by far the best choice. I have to look very hard to find something really negative about them, and then, it's usually a BS complaint that looks like a competitor wrote it.

Etoro - I've never even tried them because their spread is too wide. That said, I just got the feelin' they play games too. Who knows? I truly believe that company reputation and lack of customer complaints is by far more important than regulation in the USA, Europe, etc.. After all, where were the regulators during the MF Global blow up?

The American regulations is one of the reasons I've never bothered with forex. This afternoon now the GBD/USD has worked, then I got bit on yen.. It's extremely hard to call! It really is almost as if you're gambling!

I haven't done anything since the 24th Dec. Feels almost strange not doing anything, but at least for me, there's just not enough people doing anything right now to justify the risk. Hard to call? Umm.. yep.. people still have hangovers from New Years so nobody is doing anything.

Well, I hope things get back to normal pretty soon becase I want to make some money.

This isn't related to the exchange rate, but yes, it applies to investing in Brazil. Did you see that now Brazilian employees who telecommute or work over the internet have to have a signed workers card? I was initially a little surprised about this. After all, when someone is "working" from home, maybe they do the work and maybe they don't. Maybe they go watch TV. There's not a whole lot of control that an employer can exercise over the employee.

Don't know about you guys, but I can't think of anything here where you can have someone do some work and not sign the card...

The initial surprise wore off when I remembered that I already pay Brazilians to sit on their butts on Sundays to do nothing. As of now, I don't know any other countries that require the Descanso Semanal. This and the 15% inflation-creating salary raise are just a joke.

I might bark, but I don't bite.

Bob, just be glad the holidays fell on a weekend this year! Today, everyone is acting like it's still a hoilday....

Take a chill-pill, Phil!

I'm just flexing my ability in a volatile market! It is a pure war zone! It has advertising that compares to penny/hot stocks. That's a big turn off for me. You have people who trade for a while and then flip around and play guru. Very annoying!

A clean game of up/down/up/down/down/up is fun on a rainy day!

Don't worry I won't spend my allowance all in one place!
