Sweden??? You must be kidding. I have not studied there myself, but my impression is that at least the better American schools are far better than the Swedish, especially in business and finance.

IB (as well as others) should publish their blow-up rate. Would be interesting to see how has it performed recently. In fact, I don't believe IB has a lot of total blowups, because of their safeguards.

Is that the complete list? I wonder why these highly liquid big-caps are there?? But not many others, for example the highly leveraged investments banks, LEH MER etc.

The new Asus Eee PC seems very attractive for an ultramobile laptop. Especially on price. http://blog.laptopmag.com/eee-pc-to-get-intels-diamondville-hard-drives-and-fashion-forward-style

Ok, not they, but their equity would be wiped out. After that happens, they would have no financial incentive to stay in their home and continue payments. Just the opposite, they would have a big incentive to just walk away. Or can you say with certainty that most of the people you know would...

Calculated Risk calculates that those with a mortgage have less than 30% equity left. Thus, a further 30% fall in home prices would completely wipe them out. Impossible? Not at all! http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/2008/03/households-with-mortgages-percent.html Year ago I asked if a 20%...

There is the CDS derivatives market. But the size is too large (I guess) for us pikers.

WTF?? Why is your site trying to install some certificates? "- The server's name "www.economaton.com" does not match the certificate's name "zodqa-host-000.nks.net". Somebody may be trying to eavesdrop on you. - The root certificate from "zodqa-host-000.nks.net" is not known... - The...

What... gold $1000 / silver $19 is bold, even ridiculous?? That's not even a 20% move. I thought that would just be a modest first target. True gold/silver bugs are calling for $6000/$400. Who else is bullish on the precious metals nowadays? Apart from those eternal "bugs", I see almost...

Cup-and-handle breakout coming. Silver will fly to $19 soon, as gold heads for $1000. Similar pattern, but more clear, in palladium. Platinum is flying already.

Any new opinions on this software? Has it developed further?

And the whole panic was caused by a single crazy French trader! :D What a bunch of cowards.

That's what I thought too, the whole story stinks. Anyway, this was one huge trade: "People close to the bank said the combined positions were worth about €50 billion." And the bank had to close this entire position on Monday. As the EUROSTOXX futures traded about 120 billion that day...

Just have to post this, waited for this soooo long. Sorry about not posting regularly.
