Nope, mine doesn't show 'applaud' or 'smite', there is nothing.

My original question should have seem very silly then,  :D I just don't know how I picked up the word smite in the first place, my sixth sense not so bad hey?. ;D

Feeling somewhat conflicted with recent Syria events.

On the one hand we have  Barack Obama who said on Saturday that military action is appropriate pending congressional authorization on 9 September. Secretary of State John Kerry Friday said they have “clear and compelling evidence” that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad had used chemical weapons on his own citizens.

On the other hand UK lawmakers voted last Thursday evening against the use of force in Syria because there was no clear evidence and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday dismissed chemical weapon allegations as “absolute nonsense”, as do Bashar al-Assad.

What alarms me is that the basis for this conflict is the alleged use of chemical weapons by President Assad– the very same allegation that was alleged against Saddam Hussein in Iraq 10 years ago. 

Also alarming that the UN inspectors left Syria on Saturday.

Could this really be all about oil? 

Am I really that naive to believe that world powers will not battle in this day and age for control of natural resources because of human rights and compassion for those who will suffer?

This is just sad. 

Maybe a good thing nobody is really interested in SA.

It seems sanity prevailed and we wont have a war this week, UK voted against taking part in strike on Syria because of lack of evidence of chemical attack. This resulted in commodities going down again with crude oil at 108 and gold at 1407. Unfortunately this is not going to save us against another fuel price hike expected in October, probably in the vicinity of 40 to 50c per litre.

Also facing strikes in car production, construction, and airline sectors with textile workers, petrol station attendants, retail auto workers and gold miners joining in from next week.

Asia mixed to down with Nikkei, Hang Seng, Shanghai and Singapore red, although I expect green day today locally.

Don't forget the 172 points on T40 today, it will bite if you're short.

No, I will never do that. :D 

Traders and investors are in the same boat, we might as well head in the same direction. 

Market makers on the other hand :mad: I'll take them down without blinking.

For those with CFD's:

172 points this Friday on T40 Cash.  Don't seem like much but let me educate you:

On a Micro contract : 1 pip = R2 and minimum contract is x2 = R688
On a Mini contract: 1 pip = R10 and mimimum contract is x2 = R3340
On Full contract:  1 pip = R50 and minimum contract  is x1 = R8600

See what I'm getting at? 

When I first started trading CFD's I went in with all or nothing attitude as usual, ignorance is bliss after all.   I had 3 full contracts, forgot about dividends on CFD's and that Friday afternoon @ 17:00 my trading acc was credited with R30 000+. Only then I remembered about divvies on indexes, luckily for me I was long, if I was short, R30 000+ would have been deducted from my acc. instantly.  At that stage 1 pip was equal to R100.

So when I trade cfd's now, thirst thing I look for is when the next big dividend is and set alarms to my i-phone, i-pad, and any other schedule tool or app I can get my hands on. 

Hope this helps somebody to not make this mistake I've almost made. :)
