Right now Monero is paying higher interest rate than bitcoin. This makes XMR pretty attractive investment opportunity compared with btc. You get 0.12 % per day for btc but 0.19 for XMR these days.
The difference in interest rates indicates a bull run of XMR that will take place after this weak hand shaking.

If you do not sell your Moneros too early you might be able to quit your job soonero^TM.  

I agree with this. Now is excellent opportunity to jump in as we got this occasional dip.

Open up your butterfly nets - the skies are pouring out goodness!
Let's embrace this rain before thunderstorm and lightings of green candles.

So you are basically predicting volatility.
I speculate also some volatility, now it probably rests a few days before creates a rock solid base for launching the next rocket to new orbit which is the high of 2015.

The interest rates in leding markets have dropped which indicates there are some shorts closed now but still there are open shorts so probably nothing drastic will happen to the downside but a slight dumps might take place before we have established the base probably somewhere close to 0.0034'ish.

I on my behalf acknowledge them since they pay me well. I am happy to help them with their aspirations.

The block halfing in btc is irrelevant given the trading volumes vs. the amount the emission is cut. After all, the supply of btc gets cut by like 1800 btc a day.

That's right. I sold in that pump the coins I initially bought in late May/early June 2014. I think that pump was the only moment I had like 0 XMR, after that I sold and rebought several times but not all-in/all-out style.

I put around 300 XMR at 0.900 % and once again it was taken... 

I think things will get interesting when XMR starts to have a strong support at ATH... That's pretty much a launch for a bull market (breaking previous ATH is needed for a legitimate long term bull market). If that's done, nobody really knows how high Monero will end up eventually, and it will attract also people outside to start buying coins with fiat.

Yes I wonder who the heck is taking the risk to short XMR at these levels. I hope there will be some market makers also at spot + 20 % to give liquidity in case of margin calls. The good thing however is that the margin call is only partial usually. For instance, if your collateral is worth of 19 %, then the margin call sells as many coins as the needed to get to the minimum level (it doesn't close the whole position immediately - only the part that is below the minimum level).

I was able to lend for 0.900 % a decent stash of Moneros. Interests are accumulating like crazy. 

It is important not to lend for too low rate, I guess there are takers for 1 % loans when green candles start to appear.

You guys always can borrow some Moneros from me to dump on the markets at 1.00 % per day, perhaps within 60 days you are able to collect the coins from other bears. Miners do not have that many coins coming for sale as there barely is some sort of block reward and it is getting squeezed even from current levels every day.

I increased my lending rates close to 1 % per day. 

I browsed this and the previous page and found 8 regular posters and a lot of random posters. I have no idea from where did you get the idea only 3-4 are posting here..? 

It is very unlikely that you lose your coins. Even less likely to lose them completely because there is a collateral. A black swan event obviously might occur and wipe the lenders out completely, I hope it will not happen but it is possible always. However, the price is pretty close to the big resistance point which might create Monero denominated liquidity into the ask books.
Personally I am not contributing to Monero liquidity at this point but I think conservative market makers such as Aminorex.

There are basically two reasons why you might want to dump:

1) You have 0 faith in the coin and want to get rid off your coins asap.
2) Manipulation and trying to create panic and lower entry points

If you are a legitimate seller you want to set up a sell wall near the market and waite until the bulls will nibble it piece by piece. This is pretty easy to do when we see these green candles taking over the markets.

I wonder when we run out of dumpers... Mining do not produce more than 9800 coins per day so the mining is not the source of dumping we have been seen. Obviously some bigger guys need to dump their precious gem stones on the market after green days causing some bloodish candles. I hope there are spirit of soldiers to tackle the dumpers and teach them a lesson and pump it even higher after a dump.

Usually green candles increase the rates. The increase in the number of short positions is a bullish sign - after all the shorts need to be covered, and not just the principal but also the interest which will help Monero in the future at the cost of today's resistance. Also the current spot buyers probably get a good deal when the shorters bring liquidity to them.
That will create a business opportunity to Monero OTC sellers: price your sells at spot + 15 % premium, then just buy the coins from exchange for spot + 5 % by placing a big buy wall to which the shorters will dump and try to recover perhaps at spot or a bit below.
