What will change the world first, Communciation or Transportation.

Last month we saw the man who changed the world, Mr. Bill Gates, predict the end of the keyboard. Now he is forecasting large leaps in future technology along the same lines in voice recognition and touch screens. These are very exciting but they won't change the world like we have seen in the past. In fact, with today's commodity markets the advances that will change the world will be those that find greater efficiencies in fuel or fuel alternative. Looking throughout history those inventions that improve the way products are moved to trade and sell effect commerce the most. Taming of animals, the wheel, animal drawn wagons, boats, rail roads, steam engines, cars, trucks, airplanes, jets, speed train, etc. I would be looking f0r a company more like Orbital Sciences Corp. (ORB) to change the world this next time around versus Microsoft (MSFT). I'm interested in some discussion and debate, please feel free to comment.

My Euro Trade

Like most Ferengi's, their passion usually revolves around 2 things: Latinum and oo-mox. Since we don't trade latinum here on earth yet, and we call OO-MOX something else, my passions are not so dissimilar. As you know (all 1 reader out there) that I am passionate about currency trading.

Here is a trade that I recently did on the EUR/USD. I actually told several people to play the bounce off of a strong diagonal support level. There has been a strong resistance level at 1.4900 since November. The Euro has tested this level three times and also creating higher bottoms three times. On the last support level bottom that it created on 2/07/08, was a great entry play to the resistance level again. A move from 1.4500 to the resistance was the play to make. Who doesn't want to make 400 pips? I set my target at 1.4950 and got out yesterday with a 450 pip profit. Not bad for a very good predictive play.

Recent trade on the EUR/USD

Now the pair has broken this strong resistance level and is continuing up another 200 pips to a very overbought area. I expect a pull back now to the new support of 1.4900 and then a bounce back up to 1.51 to even higher levels. I really can see a move to 1.60 now a higher possibility over the next year. I guess a wait and see on that one. But an new entry at a bounce of 1.490 may be a good bounce.


New trades on the EUR/USD - one short reversal trade

For a short trade from these highs to 1.4900 may be a good quick short term play because of overbought area on the position. It may be good but be careful and have fun if you do. Watch your risk and don't over leverage.

We may see some wild things happening but I am in a short trade already to the support area. We will see how it goes.

Computer, Where's My Keyboard?

Could keyboards become a thing of the past? Microsoft (MSFT) thinks so. Sync for cars was just a step toward a Star Trek future now look at this new article concerning the keyboard.

Autopilot

Like something right out of Star Trek, okay not really Star Trek but more like Time Cop or Demolition Man, cars that may drive themselves. Looking at GM stock it might take ten years to care but the concept is cool.
