Regretfully I lack the the pedantic ability to
obfuscate the English language so as to confuse the less informed members of
this forum. However your flexability to spin a labyrinth of semantics in
your native tongue obviously outweigh you worldly
knowledge
Especially that of the Islamic faith. There is a
real distinction between interest earned per se. Myopic statements
aside.
As for the Markets well, if you cannot see the
Mathmatical perfection of the Universe and believe that everything in this
universe is preordained and mapped out, then I suggest you go down to the
seaside and watch the tide, Count the petals of a flower,
View the perfect Hexagons of snowflakes, Measure
the mathmatical perfection of the Acropolis in Athens ( Made to Gods
)

eyes then " credat judaeus apella "

In defence of Jim ,and he probably does not need
it, his determination that your message was ex Australia perhaps
prompted his reasonable reaction. Have you re-considered the
possibility that just perhaps you were presumptuous yourself
automatically concluding it was a Kiwi/Australia issue .Being subtly and
politely unstated maybe it was rather a size of market issue . If I was
involved in the American market I would have to adopt techniques not quite so
applicable here- due to market size. You will have to agree that the American
market is subject to hysteria ,religious ,political and
economic.To accomodate for
temporary over- reaction
TA is an imperative as a tool where one
must compete like against like.
You say that you
are" allowed " to earn a comfortable living from trading - Is that
governing factor of a religious nature ? If so, I
therefore remain bemused when noting your statement that you earn
"very good money " from that activity when you statedly regard that
injunction as ,dare I say it , a conveniently and subjectively exercised
tolerance. A strange injunction indeed !
I note that
certain UK Banks are now bending over backwards ,complying with specious
argument , to cater for Muslim investors even purchasing the property
involved for that customer because they have religious
aversion to the word , interest .A rose by any other name is still the
same -no matter what contortions are used.These tactics are rather
akin to the behaviour of cheap and conniving politicians.
. Capital represents savings and foregone
indulgence , a noble example of self denial . To classify it`s
returns in demeaning and negative fashion as being morally
wrong is the height of hypocrisy . Sheer pragmatism is the word I
would use !
Best of luck !
