Holy shit I agree with everything you just said. I will save this post to file and revel in the mystery and majesty of the universe.

At least half of the really successful traders I have met during my career are absolutely not what anyone would remotely consider to be anything above average in terms of IQ or a Wunderlich or whatever metric you chose. Some are brilliant in every way - a minority, however from what I have...

Well, the object of this post - indeed, the object of Kut trying to pick a fight, is the proposition that the Federal Government of the United States should be re-distributing wealth to such an extent that there are no real perceptable differences in living standards and no 'poor'. As if...

What's the point of the NYT article ? And is it your ultimate desire that the United States be more like a Scandanavian country in terms of societal structure and wealth re-distribution ? Sneering, guilty as charged. Empty ? Hardly.

I will stay with sneering, but it is not empty - just reinforced through the years by the hypocrisy of the NYT's work.

Consider the source and the topic. Would you expect less from the NYT ?

Papa, the challenge for myself and my clients is the fact that we use custom technical studies designed expressly for futures spreads. For TT and in many cases for CTS, you will likely find that the charting flexibility is crap. Bloomberg is also getting better in this regard as well, but...

Your optimum solution for very short term sampling timeframes and rather simplistic technical studies is using the TT XStudy or the CTS T4 charting tool. They take the price data off their own dedicated execution servers - not the exchange price data servers. The downside, of course, is...

Stock, given how judgemental and spiteful alot of your posts have been through the years in terms of describing other ET Members, you smack of hypocrisy.

We are essentially, for all practical intent and purpose, already there. And the USPS is heavily "subsidized by fiat" by the local, state, and federal governments - they pay no property taxes on facilities, their employee benefits are essentially guaranteed by the Federal government, and...

If you've ever attempted to use a PatSystems product, that statement makes complete sense.

Obama and his minions over in Treasury claim that the US Treasury MADE money on those "investments".

Spot on. Engineering-wise and including the commentary about the longer term efficacy of the welfare state. The free enterprise system is certainly not fair. But in terms of the broadest benefit to a collective society as a whole, it beats the living shit out of socialism.

Exactly, Germany is the crown jewel of European economies and a net surplus exporting world economic leader because of their engineering prowess, not in spite of it.

I stopped clearing MF and now clear NewEdge. Looks like that might not have been, how shall I say this... optimum. If there were only more Chicago firms with LME seats and an ISDA agreement. I mean, it took the Chicago boys too long to clear ICE-LCH and ClearPort... The thing I liked about...

Speaking as an engineer myself by training, when was that ? Certainly not in the 20th Century.
