Let's see how yen behaves after the housing data. Japan and China have been rising last week based on US housing improving. That appears not to be...
IMHO, housing is going to get much much worse in the next 2-3 years, but certainly this Spring will be awful. There is a glut from existing homes...
Excellent post. Without patience (to wait for trading signal, whatever you use) and discipline (to execute only the signals, and with...
