It's funny yet sad that the Bank of Japan intervened on the Yen today and not only did I fail to make any money, I also lost quite a fair bit!
Kinda sucks when I knew it was gonna happen all along right?
And it's also times like these that you wallow in "what-if"s and head back to the drawing board that is your investment strategy.
Easy come easy go isn't it?
Sigh.
Next call USDSGD to go to 1.50 at least.

New United Jokes :(
I may be a Manchester United fan, but I'm also able to see the lighter side of things :) Enjoy...
Sigh.
Q. What's the difference between Manchester United and a black cab?
A. A black cab only lets five in!
*
United's defence were at sixes and Evans.
*
Apparently, Sir Alex Ferguson is in trouble with the Queen.
Something about a sick swan.
*
All the Man United players all looked pretty upset. Except Rooney, who can't count to 6. He just looked confused.
(Rooney can count to six...on one hand)
*
It took most Man United fans over eight hours to get home last night.
The
M6/M1 were bumper to bumper all the way back to London.
*
The Glazers wanted the real fans' experience - they headed for London immediately after the game.
*
Alex Ferguson has accepted full responsibility for United's humiliation by City. He says he should not have rested Howard Webb for such an important game.
*
Those 19 banners could come in handy now - if City can turn them upside down.
*
United to win the second and third set?
*
What have Colonel Gaddafi and Manchester United got in common?
Both were slaughtered in their own back yard.
*
Manchester City have just gained a large following in the Chinese province of 'Sichuan'.
*
The scene: Monday morning in the Ferguson household.
Mrs Fergie: " Get up, Alex! It's just gone 7!"
Fergie: " Oh, no! Have they scored again?"
*
David De Gea's mum rang him up at half-time...
...and told him to be home before seven.
*
Colleen Rooney missed the game to stay in and watch Six And The City.
*
City fans new favourite TV show - The Only Way Is One-Six.
*
And one for the Manchester United fans:
City fans have not seen a win like that since they were Chelsea fans.
Sigh.

Manchester United 1 Manchester City 6
My.
This is a very dark day to be a Man U fan.
This is the first time I've seen us leak 6 goals at Old Trafford.
Johnny Evans ought to be sold.
We just weren't good enough in almost every area.
Fergie was gambling and this was once when things wet awry.
The only consolation I can think of is that we lost to a very good team that took their chances. You could see it coming over the last few games but deep down we just hoped we never met with such a finishing clinic from an opponent.
Hopefully we learn from this experience and pick ourselves up the next game.
It's still early days in the season. So it's not like we're screwed.
The way I see it City will not have enough experience to last the full distance while Chelsea will tire out towards the end.
We just need to take our chances.
GGMU!!!

Singaporeans In SEA
There are so many Singaporeans travelling around South-east Asia.
Channelnewsasia is a must-have channel in all business hotels.
Everywhere you go you can easily identify a Singaporean from the moment he opens his mouth.

Real Steel
It's been a really long time since I watched a movie.
This Hugh Jackman movie was the best we got to choose from.
Only so-so for me even though the wifey loved it.
Nothing much at the movies to attract me these days.
Why go to the movies when you can just watch the markets at home? Way more drama there :)

FA Vs TA
I've been trading alot on FA all year long, but lately I seem to have reverted back to TA (2008-2010).
Sometimes it's good to use a mixture of both for trading signals.
I need to work on my patience and discipline though.
Happy trading.

3 Days In, 3 Days Out
There's money to be made every single day in the markets. Yet, more people lose it than make it. How weird.
Look at the current volatility. Every 3 days when the market is one directional (be it up or down), it would be time to go the opposite direction. Because somewhere along the line, the market ALWAYS finds an excuse to go against the majority.
Yet very few people see it.
It's so simple to just see the big picture, look at the general trend, and follow it. Yet few people have the discipline to stick by it.
Greed is a horrible, horrible trading emotion to have.
Happy trading.

Short Sell Shell
Shell, one of the leading oil producers globally has bucked the selldown trend thanks to current oil prices.
After last week's refinery fire in Pulau Bukom though, they have had to shut it down for a week at least.
Good time to make a quick buck.
