    ECB rate and gold price

    Does anyone have any opinion on the possible change (or not) by the ECB on Wednesday of the interest rate and its effect on gold? If it is going to move gold, by how much in which direction? I am assuming, if it is cut the euro will drop, dollar rise and gold drop, if they drop the rate. Just...

    Spanish Bond auction 19 April

    Sorry Guys, Didn't want to sound ungrateful or peremptory. Not actually interested in bond results as such just the effect they have on other markets hence the question on timing. Thanks for the info anyway. French results expected when anyone?

    Spanish Bond auction 19 April

    I found the info, 10 minutes beforehand so all went well. Now, anyone know what time the French one's results are released?

    Spanish Bond auction 19 April

    Could someone tell me what time the results will be released or about what sort of time eg AM, late PM, evening? or where I can get an update on the event? I have quite a bit riding on a certain outcome (as I'm sure you all do) and I really don't want to spend the next 10 hours glued to the...

    UK s/b tax changes

    FP as you say, do look very interesting and when they offer the product I want, I may well use them. I haven't researched them fully yet but looking on this forum, their self effacing honesty, their bluffness, just makes my antennae quiver. I may well be wrong. I shall do further research.

    UK s/b tax changes

    I see your point Leopard but I really am not trying to make a virtue of ignoring the fact that the Co cheated me. What would you do in my position? I’ve taken too many people to court in the past and it is true what they say, it is expensive, stressful and one should really spend one’s time...

    UK s/b tax changes

    Yes Leopard, you are probably right. I should take my head out of my ass. For some reason I just don't find that offensive. Experience I suppose. I have been banned from so many forums I just don't take anything seriously anymore. I have my gold, I have my food supplies and I have my land...

    UK s/b tax changes

    Thank you for this. Again, very interesting and I don’t disagree. As soon as the particular event occurred I started demos with other companies as frankly it was taking the **** so although I may be relaxed about what happened, or perhaps accept it rather than getting riled, it is unlikely it...

    UK s/b tax changes

    Thanks, FP look interesting. Currently their minimum gold contract is too large for me but it appears they may change that soon. Referring to "that's life" I get as pissed off as anyone if someone tries to rip me off but because of the way I trade, I regard that false spike as them against me...

    UK s/b tax changes

    Well not quite, is it. Capital gains is payable on profits from cfds but not sbs. Well in the UK it is. I don't know where you are based. My cfd profits have breached the tax threshold so if I can change to sbs and not pay any tax that would be great. And if sbs are no longer rolled over...

    UK s/b tax changes

    No answers? Either a very difficult question or a very stupid one. Whichever it is, does anyone know? City index said the change was as a result of changes in the law. Does anyone know?

    UK s/b tax changes

    Hi all - would be interested in your opinions on this. I trade cfds and sb gold using city index. I have a strategy which works fine but I generally steer clear of sbs unless there is a special reason as I don't want to be closed out overnight crystallising a loss. On 14/4 their system is...
