duplicate...sorry

 

trojancd comments on room or apartment in medellin

I got a furnished penthouse that i'm looking for a long-term renter. It has high-speed internet, 42 inch plasma TV, 35 inch LCD, and king size pillow-top bed. When are you interested in renting?

Sorry, I should have mentioned this. I really only rent my apartment to people for a minimum of three months. I'm not really in the apartment rental business, I just leave the place vacant for long periods. Good luck though, i know its challenging.

Yah mine does, its furnished and for rent. The last time I checked my bandwidth I was pulling down 1.5 Mbps. I've never been bottlenecked, its always been solid. When and for how long?

Hey where's this favorite Colombian restaurant of yours in LA? I head back to LA about once a year and would love to check it out.

Frank, PM sent

 

trojancd comments on CCW inspection with DAS

I understand and can apprciate being frugal but I'm more interested in just getting it done, rather than waisting a lot of time figuring it all out for myself. Is the best way through the guys out front then or do you guys know someone specifically who can help. I really appreciate the help by the way.

 

trojancd comments on CCW inspection with DAS

I am working on getting my CCW, but having a few problems as I travel so much. Does anyone have contact info for an Attorney to help me out in Medellin, my attorney has no idea so I'm going it alone. Also, its nice to see that I have some neighbors here who carry, suprising how many Gringos gawk at the sound of owning a gun these days. Vic, I've spent some time with the local Batallon, and other units around and they seem to be some years back in tactics and marksmanship on the general level, of course the higher level units are up there in Marksmanship. However what they may lack in sound marksmanship they make up for in experience, its hard to argue with a dude who's been blown up by two landmines, and spent the better part of a decade fighting the geurilla and still out training. They pretty much rely on a high volume of fire vs accuracy, which being on the receiving end of that is sometimes hard to contest, even better if the accuracy and volume are combined.

And the 50 day MA, just like the 1998 correction

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

I know at least a few guys who own a couple apartments, and they are flipping them. I got out of financing and doing the credit game for myself a few years back, my life is soooo much better. there is some major global credit concerns, exponential problems, I think the recent stuff is just a little eye opener. I'm comfortable in knowing my old fashioned methods of managing my money will keep me pretty safe. With you on the liquidity, not at all interested in being the Market Maker in a market. I like being simple. NAS 100 and OEX hit 61.8 fibonocci retracement from the July highs to August lows on friday, we'll see what that level does for us, might be a dollar spike from here

I am with you on the Dollar, everyone wants to hate the dollar, that's a strong buy to me. I'm a technical trader too. Gold is steadily staying above its moving averages, or hugging them on the weekly. That sort of thing is interesting, of course the MA seem to be topping, decisions decisions. How about that peso huh!

Hah, yah they do love the action. Those numbers stopped me out on my short and triggered all my longs, I sat long, took a massage while watching my charts creep higher all day. Days like yesterday are why I love doing this. Everyone keeps talking about the low volume, at least in the equities the volume is what it was 3 months ago...before the big rally. The last 3 months were pretty wild really, like a blow-off top and a good shakeout. Funny all that drama and we are less than 100 pts from the July highs on the Nas Futures. I just went long Gold this week after taking a year or so off that market, hows that look with the dollar?

Great idea stopping out, went long a full position for the day when I stopped out and dropped down to 1/4 size position for the weekend hold. How'd you fare?

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

Man this was a great August, this week being the exception, this week was a typical August week. But typically Aug is a lame month, that was a good time to kill everyone, brilliant really. Looks like the short squeeze is grinding up, just slowly working its way higher, until one day everyone wakes up and realizes, they just got worked, hahaha So much for my short, stopped out

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

Hah, I know exactly what you mean, that's one reason I've kept myself from the Currencies, its so easy to trade when I'm bored. However I am liking the CAD and YEN, just looking for a place to re-enter Sitting on my hands until i'm not, hah

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

That's exactly what the market has been doing to me, this week is just testing patience, I know exactly what you mean. But a nice 10 pip move, nice excuse for an early day. So I went home short 1/4 of my position, so far its working

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

Man I did one round trip today, not much for me to trade today. Love trading the Euro though, been very good to me. Took the Yen and CAD a few weeks ago, was a nice little move. I'm actually quite calm on my trading, I just wait for the move then take it. If nothings there I don't do anything. Of course the last few weeks I was doing 10-20 trades a day, all that action was great for trading. But I prefer swing trading, let's me leave my friggin desk when I want

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

I jump around, equities, futures, currencies, options, where ever I find my trades are best suited I hit that exchange. I don't really know if I'm going to sit on a short overnight, the highest pain is to continue to gap the market up on open I think...everyone seems to be wanting to short here, still not sold on my short swing yet, we'll see. I'm with you, cash at end of day is a nice place to be.

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate

Yah it was hard to pull the trigger, had to build my position all the way up, didn't commit right away. And now I'm short today, we'll see if I hold it short

 

trojancd comments on Semana Article on Dollar - COP Exchange Rate
