this could be: 1. bullish (in vol if not direction) for the stock mkt or electronic markets in general 2. indicative of a new inflationary leg and new downward territory in the dollar 3. monex plans to expand ts into asian retail markets which are probably underserved 4. nothing...

this is interesting... my impression, and correct me if i'm wrong, is that tradestation is (was) a decent retail backtesting product that became obsolete as capitalized high frequency trading gradually (but surely) eclipsed the resources of at-home/small/mid backtesters. automated...

does placing a (small) trade change the odds that a market will move in the direction of that trade? this is irrespective of the quality of an entry, systematic, discretionary, expert and rigorous, poorly premised and clumsy, etc. here's the paranoid and mal-formed theory: when you...

i'm totally neutral toward the price of gold these days but i have to admit that post is funny... using the extremely limited supply of gold as an argument against its price appreciation or adoption as currency. what about money that has partial gold content? dunno, just wondering. you...

i can personally attest that pain tolerance alone does not suffice

i'll bite ~700 sq ft railroad off the graham stop on the L in bklyn. $1500/month looking at a $67.50/month renewal increase. Not sure if I'm gonna stay. It's a relatively nice place with good light and park facing windows, paper thin walls... dunno in a roommate situation i could get...

this is NOT a dis to mud engineers whatsoever, but i've kind of considered how fun this could be from time to time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_engineer 4 weeks of school, work a few hours a day, make 500-1k a day, outside, wear a hard hat, etc kinda like trading, but apply your...

i wanna see the acrobatics. bernanke's answers weren't satisfying he offered basic corollaries. ...we're not prolonging a flawed method, we're using it to free things up... the counter position is to let the numbers speak, without shifting the costs. they will anyway. don't...

that would be the ultimate punchline... the big banks go toast, and average americans don't miss a beat while the water of actual capitalism rushes into the gaps. if we're all theoretically broke, realizing the loss doesn't prevent those with real wealth and value from exchanging it...

i hear you. i haven't been canned (tho i can see it coming maybe 1-3 years down the road depending on how things shape). it's good to be a part of the real economy. i never would have considered a move to the midwest until recently, but there ARE businesses making money. sounds like...

sorry yes that was unfair. rv and trailer are definitely not the same. i'm out of my element on that. a trailer is kind of permanent, and an rv community is a whole different thing i'm guessing. i should shut up. i know nothing about either really. to me it's nyc, vs just outside...

further to that, poverty is a fact of life in cities which you obviously know. i hear you and sometimes it annoys me too that the cost of living is socialized and grandfathered via rent control. when you see it in manhattan though, you have to wonder and be a little amused that someone would...

if it gets like that, hop a train and get out of dodge. paddle an aero bed across the hudson... whatever you gotta do buy an enduro and some kevlar. wear the tumi bag on your head are you ready though to trade the upper west side for a trailer? i would expect a little culture shock...

i dunno, i've never felt unsafe here. at least within a 100 mile radius, the socioeconomic and thug factors seem fairly ubiquitous... having lived 1.5 hours west of the city for a few years honestly, 95% of new yorkers don't know how to take their aggressiveness beyond shit talking. country...

rents are dropping hard and nyc is arguably one of the safest places you could live, because of the density, not in spite of it (short of total pandemonium). dunno what level of luxury you're after, but you could easily share a fairly nice 800-1000 sq foot place in a "desirable" brooklyn...

guy has been in office a week or two and it's his fault ..LOL.. this whole cycle of handing increasingly dire fiscal conditions to the opposite party has got to end. the wellbeing of our society is NOT a hot potato!

prolly not so much a lack of understanding as much as a lack of virtuous character in most media participants all strata of people knew.. they just prioritize personal interest above any sort of will for fairness or collective well being. can't blame them for being the apes that they are...

amazing

working with the gravity metaphor, what happens if the system artificially lessens gravity? don't you end up with rocks on top mountains that really have no natural reason to be/stay there? do you want the "value" of your assets to be the product of an arbitrary rule, vs as much objective...

why should price discovery be asymmetrically biased? nobody ever talks about "bull raids" i should close my schwab account
