Pretty cool, i respect the fact that since it's been going on forever you are totally nonchalant about it. Normally I try not to get too worked up about this stuff either except for the fact that our current situation seems to just be such an extreme example of wealth transfer. It doesn't...

OK. And you actually believe they're not using this order flow to help their own prop book? (essentially violating the chinese wall.) How about their role as a market maker when fed was forcing aig unwind and GS was reaming them on spreads bc they knew they were being forced to unwind...

I don't doubt taibi uses a bit of dramatic license and hyperbole to make his point but most of what he's saying i believe to be the truth. Goldman would first of all definitely be bust without taxpayer support, and then have clearly piggybacked the gov't further for cheap loans and inside...

When you read an article like this within the same day as that plane incident and just think about what's going on in this country it just makes you want to puke. There's gotta be a better way than a suicide mission to get some change and attention to what's happening to our country. These...

i was trying to figure out what that was einstein. i like real fundamental data, and don't like to guess. im doing more than trying to catch a pip to pay for the rent $. get some sleep dude, u sound grumpy...

I have two questions related to OP's query. Let's assume it's a great strategy. Let's also assume you don't want to keep the programmer on full-time but just on a one off basis to work on one strategy. 1) what is the going rate for a good programmer/quant to do this sort of thing? if paid by...

elimination of capital gains taxes in US for one year as an example. any major positive tax change could cause a huge spike upward in the market. take a look at the market in china and you'll see several examples of white swans - if you want to call them that, which was basically gov't...

great advice, guys. i want to thank you all for it. i'm leaning towards going for it for a bunch of the reasons you mentioned. i guess it really all come to down to what i value most. i also think we only have one life to live so we should go for it in life. that leaves me thinking that we...

I'm trying to think of the decision rationally, in terms of a dollar trade off for a brutal lifestyle compared to what I have now. There is the potential to make enough to retire in an amazing way in 4-5 years if i do well, versus having an already pretty great income now. But im greedy like...

Was wondering if some on the boards with experience can help me. Basically, I've been my own boss trading on my own for several years with a lot of success and obviously a ton of personal freedom. I take vacations when I want, and work whatever hours I want. I'm now being given the...

in a hedge fund an investor is typically a limited partner with limited liability. the most they can lose is there initial investment. in personal investments or trading, it all depends on how you structure the company, and whether there was fraud or negligence involved. if there is fraud...

awesome article, bud.

slow down. i told everyone to buy on thursday and friday. we have indeed made huge rallies since then, but this is no bull market. we have some room left on the upside - another 5-12% after that, i'd be selling everything. the problems are still very bad, this looks more like a crazy dead cat...
