But I dun see it affecting me to the extend that I need to position my money or glue my eyes at the news. I have already factored in interešt rate going to up to 3 % by 2018 in my calculation of possible earnings of companies. I am sure many companies also have made similar plans.<br /><br />Also, interešt tightening and loosening when seen over a longer period of time is not going to affect the moat of business although it might quicken or steepen the market cycles. <br /><br />It is just good news/ catalyst for traders and media mongers.<br /><br />As for your example on tumor, it touched a raw nerve.<br /><br />I will 100% choose to live ignorantly.<br /><br />I have this "curse" of eye twitching non stop )more than 2 days and something seriously bad will happen. It's 95% accurate. I kept wondering what it is and if it is work or family?<br /><br />Turned up to be my mum cancer cells might have spread to the lungs despite her seemingly successful chemo and good "health" even the doctors are surprise.<br /><br />Well, I life, so many forces in play, some are more dominant but we can never draw a straight line and say because of A, we will have B.<br /><br />What difference? <br /><br />If karmic forces are like that, I believe fed is but a slightly bigger force in the globaliSed capitalism force.<br /><br />Come what, do what.<br /><br />Market crash, bunker down and feel depressed and then get on with life. <br /><br />Predicting it, fun meh?Sillyinvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228581533460899084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-33052001215499475412015-09-19T00:46:14.591+08:002015-09-19T00:46:14.591+08:00Hi SI,

I m not saying he is right or wrong, just that I had some thoughts! <br /><br />Maybe we cannot ignore that it do affects the world, maybe not now, but in the long run. <br /><br />Just my thoughts here: I am wrong, I hope! <br /><br />Prefer to pretend u dunno u have a cancer tumor n live happily for next many yrs until u find out or u decide to go for a 50-50% chance op to remove the tumor!

Nothing beats learning from first ...Sillyinvestor,<br /><br />Nothing beats learning from first hand experience!<br /><br />What we learn in this bull/bear cycle we will apply to the next bull/bear cycle.<br /><br />I got screwed by the US Fed during Sept 2013 when the whole world expected Ben Bernanke to start tapering and positioned accordingly... The Fed blinked...<br /><br />It was small consolation to read a few months later DBS reported losing couple of millions in trading losses due to "volatile" conditions... Yeah right. Got screwed by the Fed just like me!<br /><br />And that memory saved me this time round. The US Fed is not the same Fed chaired by Paul Volcker :(<br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-27605870732039456762015-09-18T22:07:08.688+08:002015-09-18T22:07:08.688+08:00Wa 10 times leverage!!

From the beginning of...Sillyinvestor,<br /><br />Yes and no.<br /><br />From the beginning of this year, I was confident the Fed would start raising interest rates sometime by end of this year. Hence I had my long USD position on.<br /><br />But last month, the price action of the markets - bonds, forex, equities - suggests to me I was wrong. <br /><br />So I closed all my trading positions and stood on the sidelines (this wasn't easy).<br /><br />Yesterday's Fed action confirms I was "right" to acknowledge and admit I was on the "wrong" side of the trade last month.<br /><br />So no damage today ;) <br /><br />Notice my wry smile behind the headline for this post?<br /><br />But if I had failed to have the AWARENESS to notice I was wrong, and had stuck with my original trading PLAN, it will be a lot of hurt this morning... <br /><br />I use 10 times leverage for my futures positions; so it's not tikum tikum.<br /><br /><br />You are right today is nothing to fuss about.<br /><br /><br />P.S. CW is right.
