For those who think that it takes sophisticated indicators and convoluted math to create a system, here are the results from the past 12 months on...
You are absolutely correct. NOTHING in Iraq is worth what have gotten ourselves into, especially considering that there were other solutions to...
Yep. Mine.
How do you expect to profit from such a strategy? If it is in the 2 cents in the spread, it seems to me that's an awfully tiny profit for tying...
