I would also like to know whether there is a good software out there that can test pair trading strategies intraday

I am from Europe and just came back from a 3 week trip with my family to New England. We went to Mystic Aquarium and the real attraction for me were not the fish but the people.

Why do you want to avoid recession ? Recession is good ! It cleans out the system. Look at the bad recession Geramny had a couple of years a ago -- and now their companies are lean and efficient. The bad ones are gone. The US needs a recession badly ! It will clean the mess - it will make the...

It would be interesting to know how many contracts of oil are held long by the OPEC countries themselves to keep the prices high. I would not be surprised if they do "insider trading" in big scale themselves. They buy some contracts before they announce that they wont increase production...
