Do any of the posters actually know this lady, or her background, that they say she was in straightened circumstances?

Recently, in South Africa, the wife of a Government Minister has been sentenced for drug smuggling. Government Ministers

in South Africa receive quite a healthy stipend, plus perks. The lady in question was certainly not caught up in this vile trade

because of her difficult circumstances, and was, seemingly, a serial offender.

Do any of these drug "mules" even stop to contemplate the misery that their actions will bring down on countless others.

One is not sure if a death penalty is too extreme in these cases.

What is the date today? Does anyone know?

_{Personally, I think that TLL is quite a good resource, but, like anything out there in the BWW (Big Wide World), one has to}

_{have one's eyes wide open. What you see is not always what you get! Clearly, the ladies who are offering their wares are going to present their best possible aspects, which means , largely, that their profile pictures will not be the most recent, but the oldest. They are consequently always going to look older in the flesh!}

I enjoy the eclectic nature of the topics and subject matter, and the diverse reponse which is engendered as a result. This is what gives TV its uniqueness.

For entertainment value, and especially being without cost, this forum has no equal!

One important document you will have to furnish is an Attestation d'accueil, and which you will have to arrange through your local Mayor's office at the Town Hall. This will be confirmation that she will be staying with you for the period of her stay, and is used in the absence of confirmed hotel accommodation or similar which the Consulate would normally require as one of the requirements for her Schengen visa.

The Fatdrunkandstupid post could also be referring to South Africa, which continues to be the "flavour of the month" in the Western World.

I think the OP is learning some of the hard facts of life, from the other members, that he should have already been

cognisant of. Life can be cruel, and money and friendship are uneasy bedfellows.

Best to hit rock bottom, know that's where you are, and begin the long haul back. Selling the bike may be the

unpalatable truth that you need to set you on the road to recovery.

Nobody knows the roubles I have seen Lol!

At the end of the year( and even much further) you maybe right. But for the coming days, or even weeks, it doesn't look promising to your position.

I would be worry if the daily MACD would cross to the upside.

If the Daily MACD will make a cross to the upside, I would look to 0.9309 as the first resistance.

Edit: I couldn't paste the pictures here so I attached them

The problem with MACD is that it is a "lagging indicator". Not to say that you would be wrong to follow it, but you might lose more of the potential gains. Looking at the chart pattern, the more telling indicator is that the chart has "double bottomed", which is a powerful reversal indicator that the move will be to the upside. Wait for the break above around ).9060, and then go long this pair.

Of course, there is no certainty in trading (currencies, commodities, futures, whatever) you have to try to find an"edge". In this case, the long term trend for USD/CAD is an uptrend (look at daily/ weekly/ monthly charts) for confirmation. Follow the "big dogs", so your edge is long USD and short CAD. The market is imprecise; the trend is your friend until the bend at the end!

The long-term bet is reasonably safe, short CAD/USD, but I have to agree that the short-term swings could wipe out this position. My suggestion would be, at the very least, that OP should hedge his bet with staggered call options.

I think AyG did a good job in opening up this debate to the forum. All of the posts, taken together, show a good balance of the pro's and con's regarding this important topic.
