Thanks John, I agree. It is bad to get greedy.

TTF at 150% premium today. Price went up $1.00 in the last 2 hours of today's trading. I watched it jump. Who was the buyer I would like to know.

I wonder if you have a specific broker to recommend in Thailand. I applied to HKSB in Canada but they cannot open accounts for Americans.

Any new news on the new WEBS? Can't find any info at all lately. Of course, from the Malaysian example, a new WEBS is not likely to bring TTF premium down soon.

P.S. I shorted TTF at $20, after it rose immediately following the devaluation announcement. Of course, I covered at $18 or something. But why on earth did it rise almost 30% after the news? Really amazing - one for the books.

Since then I've been hedged, lately just using TC, since the spread between TTF and TC has been large. Though that spread, until today, seemed to fluctuate fairly predictably. On paper I lost a bunch of money today. 150% premium!!
