CHFJPY sell, anyone considering that?

Igwe OO: Habemus Papam..Habemus Papam..Habemus Papam..

But come to think of it, Catholic church can be very secretive. Who could believe that "like 30 mins after we saw the white, no one knows who the elected Pope is".
Any how, God bless the Pope and lead him as well to guide your Church.

Is any one contesting the election , over 2 hours know who yet.

Not even the all big CNN knows who until now...

IBnatty: The new pope is one of these cardinals below.
Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan. 63. He is the Archbishop of New York.
2. Cardinal Peter Erdo. 60. Archbishop of Estergom- Budapest.
3. Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley. 68. Archbishop of Boston
4. Cardinal Marc Ouellet. 68 (from Canada). Head of the Vatican's office for bishops.
5. Cardinal Leonardo Sandri. 69. (from Argentina) Head of the Vatican department for Eastern Churches.
6. Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer. 63. Archbishop of Sao Paulo
7. Cardinal Angelo Scola. 71. Archbishop of Milan.(I've this hunch that he will be the next Pope though not my favourite candidate).
8. Cardinal Luis Anthonio G. Tagle. 55. Archbishop of Manilla. Philippines.(He is the 2nd youngest cardinal participated in this enclave, My personal favourite)
DATS JUST MY HUNCH THOUGH

Yea, no 8 on your list has been my guess. #We wait and see.

stolen stone: looking to sell GOLDEURO this week! I'll just wait for a lil retracement as market opens, hopefully to 1217.44 and then i'll launch into the deep and ride it all d way down till the end of the trend who has always been my friend. Of course, the trade is not the holy grail, so my stoploss will be at 1223.77; if you are with me on this please trade responsibly and apply strict money management principle cos gold na winch! Ask naijababe how d thing dey carry waka and you go confirm am! Guys what's your take on the supposed movement on gold?

Technically, gold is ripe for a sell but based on the fundamental analysis from the US (the legislative impasse between the US president and the congress), dollar/euro and futures are likely to trade low at market open, thereby pushing gold up for a buy for the week unless they reach a compromise early enough. So be careful about wanting to sell gold. Already the IMF warns this is likely to create another global crisis.



**those are my opinion,they might be wrong**

Osama10: Arsene Wenger should just go he has lost it.

Seconded. The guy just dey give person heartbreak upon heartbreak.

REALITY101: Any lady that watches those shiity Nigerian movies is a 1000% turn off to me except the comedies which are for laughs. Those niggas and btches are fake as hell, they sucks and can't even fake being fake.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — In his highly anticipated annual shareholder letter, published Friday, famed investor Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. went straight to the bad news.

Despite Berkshire BRK.A +0.10% BRK.B -0.11% achieving a $24.1 billion net gain for shareholders and the conglomerate’s book-value rising 14.4% in 2012, he deemed it a “subpar” performance.

“For the ninth time in 48 years, Berkshire’s percentage increase in book value was less than the S&P’s percentage gain (a calculation that includes dividends as well as price appreciation),” wrote Buffett, who for decades has measured Berkshire’s overall performance in terms of book value.

The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index SPX +0.23% rose 16% last year, including dividends.

Buffett went on to say another disappointment was his inability to complete a major acquisition, something that’s eluded him in recent years. “I pursued a couple of elephants, but came up empty-handed,” he wrote.

Buffett said Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, who Buffett brought on board in the past two years to handle more of Berkshire’s stock picks, each outperformed the S&P 500 by double-digit margins last year.

DirectTV DTV +0.79% is one stock they both own in their respective portfolios.

“They left me in the dust as well,” Buffett wrote. “Todd and Ted are young and will be around to manage Berkshire’s massive portfolio long after [Berkshire Vice-Chairman] Charlie [Munger] and I have left the scene. You can rest easy when they take over.”

Their reward for last year’s performance: The size of the funds they manage were bumped up to almost $5 billion dollars.

Buffett’s annual letter has long been a must read for professional and amateur investors alike because of its frank discourse on investing and business. Read more: Warren Buffett's 'ground rules' for investing.

In his letter, Buffett addressed the rationale for Berkshire not paying a dividend even though the company is sitting on a $46.9 billion stockpile of cash. Observers have wondered if a dividend is in the works since Buffett has not been able to unload that cash in a huge acquisition.

Buffett noted in the letter than Berkshire changed its share buyback criteria in December, increasing the maximum it will pay to 120% of book value. The company previously had offered to repurchase shares at up to 110% of book value. “That proved unrealistic,” Buffett said.

As for dividends, Buffett likes them — for other companies, that is — including businesses that Berkshire is invested in. For instance, Berkshire reaped $1.1 billion in dividends last year from the firm’s four biggest stock investments — American Express Co. AXP +0.35% , Coca-Cola Co. KO -0.05% , IBM IBM +1.04% and Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +0.88% .

Buffett told Berkshire shareholders that paying them a dividend from the company’s large cash stockpile would be detrimental to the value of their shares over the long term.

“Dividends impose a specific cash-out policy upon all shareholders,” he said. Many shareholders, he added, would prefer to sell a portion of their stock and create their own income stream, or have a lengthy time horizon and therefore “should prefer no payment at all.”

Dividends also are tax inefficient, Buffett said. All of the cash from dividends is taxed every year, he pointed out, whereas shareholders are taxed only when they sell.

And Buffett made it clear that Berkshire shareholders should not expect his opinion on Berkshire dividends to change.

“We will stick with this policy” as long as assumptions that the company can grow its book value and command a premium share price “seem reasonable,” Buffett wrote.

“If the prospects for either factor change materially for the worse,” he added, “we will reexamine our actions.”

Buffett has started 2013 off on a promising note. Berkshire teamed up with Brazil’s 3G Capital to buy ketchup maker H.J. Heinz HNZ +0.06% for $23 billion.

“So it’s back to work.” Buffett said. “Charlie and I have again donned our safari outfits and resumed our search for elephants.”

sellydion: If stock market spiral down rate on treasury bill goes up, if stock market spiral up rate on treasury bill goes down. It has inverse relationship based on investors emotion. It will always be a good market for risk averters like me.

Just like the relationship between US Dollars and Gold.

Yea, anyone can buy foreign shares. Not just US/Canadian/UK Shares but almost all countries that has an exchange. Brokers like Saxobank, Internarxx, Interactive Brokers and many more you can find online. But Come to think of it, who still buys foreigner shares these days for keeps when short-sellers wouldn't allow shares to appreciate. IMO, anyone wishing to trade on foreigner shares should also know more about trading Share CFD's. Trading on Contract For Difference (CFD), you have to opportunity to profit from rising or falling market depending on your position (whether long or short) on the live market. Also, CFDs gives the opportunity to hedge on a losing position.
