Forex Articles for the Weekend – December 24

It’s holiday season! Markets already slowed down in the days before the holidays. Also after this weekend, they will likely stay calm. It’s time for some long term articles on a variety of forex related topics.

Here are my picks from various sites and a digest of recent long term posts from this site:

• James Woolley looks back at 2011 and reviews the year in forex trading.
• Neil Hume presents an outlook for the British economy in 2012 – the year of the double dip.
• Mish looks back at his 2011 predictions and sees which were correct and which weren’t.
• Greg Robb looks at US monetary policy in 2012 and says it is “the year of the dove”.
• Megan Greene discusses the problems with Greek PSI – the involuntary nature of “voluntary” haircuts.
• John Ward describes how the French and the Americans are trying to twist Draghi’s arm, in the ongoing battle for euro-zone quantitative easing.
• Andriy Moraru discusses various chart patterns and their popularity.
• Lior Cohen discusses the volatility in gold and silver prices.
• James Tomlins dives into the high yielding European bonds – the epicenter of the debt crisis.
• Michael Greenberg reports that Nadex launches political binary options – this is an interesting development.
• Fracnesc Riverola announces that Ron William will also appear in the International Traders Conference. William joins  Ed Ponsi, David Pegler and Walter Peters. It should be interesting.
