And as quickly as he came, he was gone... Sick P&L... With what he made, I think he could hire someone to write for him. We'll miss ya $ cost avg man...
Wherever this thread ends is o.k. Cost showed us how to outperform on a daily basis. Diversification into outperforming markets,sectors and stocks seemed to work well. Thanks for the insights.
Its only 10 days since dollarcost last posted. He's not gone at all Patience my friends He's probably fishing and taking a break.
Well not a moment too soon....From my last post on currencies, I would like to come back and update it.....BTW...HELLO ALL....It's been some amazing weeks....I have committed 10 % of equity to the earnings game and have liquidated almost all petroleum positions and been playing the OIH options ($$$$$$$)....Over the past two week I have got back into airliners, paper, industrials, steel, miners, chemical, banks, insurance, some HMO's and drugs....and others.. Excel sheet if I can ever post it will show you everything that has been done...... I have had my reasons for leaving the Journal alone recently..... 1. I STILL CAN"T GET EXCEL TO POST....This just has me mad!!!! 2. I have been playing the earnings game and posting the stocks would give away my favorite/secret fund.....(hint: TZOO and NITE are both held by this fund)....This should give it away if you look.... 3. I have almost gotten through earnings season and It is time to get back to the sharing ideas.. Any of you For-Ex people out there that just happen to come across this forum.....Here's my question.....Lets say I wanted to hedge my Dollar exposure......Would you suggest the GBP or Swiss Frac as a good safety currency.....These are my worries (Long Term)....Eventually Asia stops buying our debt, we keep printing money, the dollar has less importance as the worlds currency, hyperinflation comes into play, Recession turns into depression, Oil markets go crazy after new WAR.....BLA...BLA...BLA $COSTAverageMAN Attachment: gbpusd.png This has been downloaded 29 time(s). This was my post on 4/23 on the weakening dollar...... On the 24th of April I took many Forex positions (Leveraged 100:1) I have almost 20 Million betting against the dollar.....$$$$$$$$$ GBP/USD LONG AUD/USD LONG USD/JPY SHORT USD/CHF SHORT USD/CAD SHORT .......WHY? because I have spent years building this wealth and have worked hard for my family.....I will be dammed if I let the Crooks running this country destroy my wealth.....They have been fed with a silver spoon and I personally think they probably don't have most of their wealth in the dollar currently either....If you knew you were going to wreck your currency by not reporting M3 and causing Middle eastern nations to ask for Euros or Gold for oil then you probably would have put your money in a different currency too..Especially with inside info like our politicians have....( I will reiterate once again that I have never in my life voted nor do I ever plan to.....Considering the fact that almost every major candidate since 1913 has come from the Committee on foreign Relations or has had some serious ties to many secret societies) 2004 Election as another example where the people had no choice.....

cost, be careful of that leverage, man good to hedge, but control your risk imo. good to hear back from you.
Yes the leverage has me worried, but The dollar would have to come back almost 3% or more against these currencies for me to be break even.....I am Planning on reducing the positions for the week end!!!!
hey cost...glad to see you're back I'm young and new to investing, but your journal has been a great learning tool as well as an inspiration. I'm hoping by the time I actually start making money that I will have enough knowledge to bring in even a fraction of the return that you are able to.
Just to let every one know!!!! I do have a nice position in DDE and CHDN Betting on an upset in this years Kentucky Derby !!!!!
