The problem is that lawyers and actors are running the country on the advice of economists who are really just pseudo scientists. Free market works only in perfect conditions, which do not exist in reality. I am not advocating protectionism here but giving you just a food for thought. There are...

It seems that just like in politics a bunch of incompetent and loud idiots managed to silence an otherwise interesting thread. But there is a lesson to learn for Whisky in all this: Choosing not to ignore an idiot does not bring at least 1 tic per day on average extra profit! Take this...

Forex "Lexus"??? :D You should try Forex Porche, Forex BMW or Forex Mercedes!!! Better value for your money.

I'm with you on this. :-) They have to sacrifice someone from time to time to maintain the illussion of fairness and also to make it look like they are actually doing something in the light of the Madoff fiasco.

Obviously, the 20 mil is what the SEC can with a bit of luck prove but it is only the very tip of the iceberg of the money these people made on the inside info. Do you really think they would risk their personal freedom and all the fees they were making from the 3 billion fund for a few million...

I agree with most that you have written but this one point about innovation is just complete BS. Just look around you! Do you think if we rode horses instead of driving that you would be here trading? That you would even be around? Most likely you wouldn't even be born. Maybe give it a second...

Of course it's commies in China... Try to go there and say otherwise and you might end up in prison. :D In its nature it's very far from the communism ideals but it's the same leadership - the same people. Who do you think leads China's biggest companies? Enterpreneurs? It's the people who go...

You people have no idea what commies are capable of! Anyone thinking that they are not significantly cooking their books should prepare for a big surprise down the road. China is not the US or EU! Communism is rotten down to the roots and China is no exception. People in the west have no clue ->...

I have a similar problem but it seems to be limited to sensitivity to soft eating sounds -> someone eating crackers in the room can be pretty unpleasant for me. I found some info about people using sound generators to increase their tollerance to certain sounds but there does not seem to be...

Don't be stupid - the illegal medical costs are the least of problems in the US. How does a billion in extra costs compare to the trillions wasted in Iraq and on the failed financial system? The immigrants born in the US become US citizens and having more citizens will eventually be beneficial...

Oliver, if you don't have any losses among your trades then you have a problem. :) When you find the problem with your code, your strategy will most likely turn into a losing strategy. Try not to despair though that's what searching for a decent automated system is all about. It's hard to look...

Trading Condom: The Ultimate Investor Protector! :D

JPM

Even better: we should shutdown the exchanges completely and build a concrete sarcophagus on top of them to protect the investors. :D
