I'd love to see Bernanke not cut rates today.

I could definitely see it happening, but my portfolio wouldn't like it. What time do they let us know? I want to watch the fireworks.

2pm. It is all they keep talking about today on the news. I can't see how they would fail to cut given how much everyone expects it. It would make an interesting day.

does BIDU still have any value? I bought it at 150 and sold it at 190 (steller move not), and I am actually reconsidering re entering in this position at 380 (!?). Anyone have any take on this? China is basically making it a monopoly.

Re: October [censored] thread
 

whats the deal with China and these monopolies? is that really going to be constructive?

Re: October [censored] thread
 

anyone got any ideas for a good long term forex position other than JPY/USD (if i cant get CNY/USD)?

also anyone other commodity other than silver and gold? (i am kicking myself over not getting round to investing in oil when i was going to at $80). preferably a commodity with long term good prospects but not too correlated with gold and silver (which from what i know are very correlated).

many thanks if you can help.

also maybe a long term good stock?

sorry for having to ask, hopefully one day down the line ill be able to contribute better.

thanks if you can suggest a position.

john

if gold goes >=$1k and you win, your $500 won't buy as much as mine will if gold doesn't touch $1k
