Marty is NOT defending the Fed the way I interpreted his posts in this thread and knowing the proclivity of his posts over the years. Marty is simply stating a fact. The idea of nationalizing the banking system would never garner the votes required to make it law. US Politicians, regardless...

The market is what the market is. The market does not know if you are long or short and the market does not give a flying donkey's dick if you are long or short. Don't make emotionally-driven mistakes over something for which you have absolutely no control.:)

To do it effectively without getting picked off - very expensive. Just price out your own dedicated ECN that can compete and RTS or Portware for execution and you are looking at North of $50K per month from what I have been told, YMMV. My mantra the past few years has been that swing trading...

Every really big independent trader in Bond and Note Pits at the CBOT used to keep a trading journal. One of my mentors, David Ellis from the CME S&P pit - demanded that I keep one. I know it sounds hokie and old-fashioned, but anything you can do to avoid repeating mistakes and to reinforce...

That would be a departure from common practice in the U.S.. That's for sure. But very common for a non-profit. In the US hustling paying clientele to pay your legal fees would definitely be frowned upon by other clients because litigation is a business expense and cost of doing business -...

Your points are completely valid in terms of personal expenses. I've never heard of a "for profit" business actively solicit their clientele on an extraordinary special basis like this to pay for their business expenses ( legal fees ). I've heard of it for non-profits and 501C's, but this...

Speaking for my own sponsorship, I pay a flat monthly rate that is not tied to page views or posts or any other metric. If Baron by good fortune works his way up to 100 sponsors who post frequently in order to generate views, then paying members or invited guests for top-notch content...

Dear Mikettes, I do not feel that I am arrogant - that implies asserting superiority over others. If I was "superior", I would not be able to admit that I am wrong or that I overstepped. I do that all the time in posts. I also possess a sense of fairness - which arrogant persons do not. In my...

Dear Mikettes, I do not feel that I am arrogant - that implies asserting superiority over others. If I was "superior", I would not be able to admit that I am wrong or that I overstepped. I do that all the time - hell, I've done that in this thread. I also possess a sense of fairness -...

Another thought I had was that continued membership to ET should be contingent on some sort of ratio of serious worthwhile content posted versus non-trading related chatter ( slings and arrows, insults, etc. ). For example, most electronic trading exchanges have some sort of message-to-fill...

I respectfully disagree that "reviews" per se offer anything in terms of content. Now - on the other hand, if Baron wanted to offer a noted author or subject matter expert an open thread where ET Members are allowed to ask questions... That would be a serious contribution to content. Q&A...

All Harvard grads immediately head over to the next Chicago Harvard Club meeting and hit on that babe relentlessly. You can marry more money in 5 minutes than you can make in a lifetime ! :D

All Big Mike Trading forum members are welcome to join me. Several of you have already been clients. :D

Mike implies rhetorically over at BMT that I work for AMP. Let me just state for the record that I do not now and nor have I ever in the past been a client or employee or contractor or consultant for AMP. Furthermore, I do not recall ever meeting or communicating with any person from AMP...

What an excellent suggestion, and a great place to start !

I think it is a fair criticism that with such few posts to your user name, and probably most of them directed at hating on Big Mike - readers should rightly be cautious about how much reliability your statements might have. And, your commentary is reduced to mean name calling with no real...

Because everyone was talking about how it was going to get displaced as the world's de facto currency by namely the Yuan. And then a bit more transparency was shed on Chinese debt ratios. And Yellen knows the printing presses will have to slow down at some point.

. And I think many of the comments in this thread, including some of my early comments, are overbearing and possibly unfair. Likewise, Big Mike himself has chosen to take small isolated snippets of what myself and Pekolo have stated in this thread and make hay with them in a big way over...

Maybe AMP sues Stone, BMT sues AMP for fees, and the nice BMT members get their legal contributions back from BMT. That way BM gets to say he beat AMP twice and the BMT membership is made whole with a complete accounting for legal fees from BM. And free speech will be preserved. And...

People can get just wacky insane when given an anonymous pseudonym and the ability to publish to the world in the comfort of their own little worlds. Humans are the most cruel and destructive species to ever populate the Earth. People publish hurtful, damaging, despicable things that are...
