Hi all,
 
Wishing you a very happy and healthy, wealthy New Year to all the posters on here, some very interesting reading indeed.
 
I am British, but have Euros and want to know whats your predictions for the next few months of 2012 as it is hovering around the R$2,40 to R$2,43 at the moment.
 
Cheers,
 
Sean(Latinboy)

@Gringodude, I would be curious to hear about your experiences with eToro, especially when things get back to normal. Especially:

1- Does their client freeze up a lot, usually requiring a restart?
2- What's the pricing like? Let's assume that you have 1 up candle and 1 down candle and then a doji candle that is midway between the high and low and the 2 large candles. If you buy, does it put the buy point around the high of the last candle?
3- Are stops honoured? Let's assume price is dropping, does it fill at your stop, or is it well below your stop?
4- How well are Take Profits honoured?

If 2 seems difficult to imagine, I can show you some examples. Some people call it range pricing: If you're in a right range, and you press buy, it puts your entry at the rop of the range. The inverse for shorts. This is one of the "games" that I was talking about. This happened to me with "regulated" brokers.

Back to your other post where you didn't like the American rules, I would definitely say "renounce!" I was reading a story the other day about an American who renounced and turned around and got a 10 year tourist visa to go back anytime he likes. The blue passport doesn't carry the same weight that it used to. Nowadays, all it seems to carry are headaches and complications if you have a life abroad.

@Latinboy:

There are lots of services out there that have "forecasts" for long-term price trends. GOOGLE is your friend. I forgot where I read this, but some service sent me an email saying that they expect the Euro to go to 1,27 and then have a possible bounce from there. But pay this no mind like I do because they have about a 50/50 chance of being right.

But I'm definitely bullish on the Euro long-term because I strongly believe that there are "powers that be" that wish to keep the Euro, and probably even GROW the Euro to include more countries. Think about it, with 1 currency, they can control DOZENS of countries. That's great leverage!

I imagine that's EUR/USD. Not very exciting as it's 1,30 right now.

Latinboy, sorry, I was talking EURUSD. I think you get the "daily analysis from just about every company like Alpari, AvaFX, and many more... (I don't specifically recommend these 2 brokers).

Next time I get an "expert" analysis, I'll post it or send you a message.

Gosh they're horrible, I lost almost 2k! I told you the leverage was a mess, not to mention, europeans waking up and the $600 spread! Wow!! They backstab you on stops, and the buy point is on the higher portion of the candle.. Wow i'm shocked! I must say it is a casino at 5am!

While I don't always concur with Sr. Gerald's pov, in that particular episode, he was spot on!  So I don't understand your apology/sympathy/empathy GD.

Yet RP has stated he won't run on a 3rd party ticket.  The Republican party is too f-n stupid and stubborn to nominate him as their candidate.  IMO, the only way they'll do it is if the public at large DEMANDS it.  But the public at large is doped up on soma, their minds a gelatinous state of passivity, brought on by the media, especially Censored News Network, and FOX. <---- hyperlink intended

Literally overnight, the media has gone from years of ignoring RP, to a full frontal attack.  The edict has evidently been issued by someone, somewhere, "Bring him down!"  The assassination of Ron Paul's character is now top priority, and if they can't find any real facts, they'll just make something up.  Once it's been reported, it becomes true, even if recanted later.

I like Sr. Gerald's comparison of the election process in the US to the fake wrestling on TV;  The "Washington Wrestling Association".   LOL
At this point in time, it's indeed all show.  Actually, has been for quite sometime now, but this time the situation is dire.  The only real "hope" is for some sort of American Spring to burst on the scene.  Yet the Arab nations which witnessed "Spring" weren't prepared for the swell of popular uprising.  The powers that be in the US are.  Dissent will be quickly rounded up, and "quarantined".  It's a sad time in which we live GD, but my friends and family there, the ones who still have their blinders on, can't say they weren't warned.

Guess that rant was better posted in Ron Paul thread Boris started.  Forgive me.

So back on topic, or at least the sub-topic of this thread, dinheiro....  I see from the time stamps of your posts GD that you've been at the casino all night.
Did you win?

Coffee's ready... gotta go.
