Anybody watching this breakout in copper? You home gamers can follow along with JJC, FCX or SCCO.

VIX shooting for single digits!

Monthly A up in the spoos is around 1986 and the QTR A up around 2012.

This is why I encourage all users of ET to become very familiar with the search function in the upper right hand corner. :)

He's baaaaaack.......:)

Ray, does Ninja support exchanged traded spreads yet? This has been my biggest complaint about the software. I don't know how in the world a futures platform in today's day and age can compete without offering a product that 90% of the professional trading community uses almost exclusively.

OK, now you are on a completely different topic. It's tough to keep up. Capital gains has nothing to do with this debate and most of these "uber rich" are not even paying capital gains taxes so I'm not even sure where you are going with that. One more time, the whole point to having an...

No, I still think you are confusing the two. Here is some reading material: http://eriksoderstrom.com/5407/income-vs-wealth/ http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/30/inequality-is-most-extreme-in-wealth-not-income/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

Ugh...no. Wealth is VERY different then income. Wealth grows, income does not. If I have a billion dollars in wealth then that wealth is making money for me. If I make 10% a year on my various assets I'm making 100 million a year for doing nothing. Not a lot of guys out there making...

What does "for active traders" mean? They have special greeks that non active traders don't get?

That may have been more technical then what you wanted. The short answer is, watch the currencies. :)

All taxes are an accounting transaction. Where the tax comes from has little effect on the end result. WHERE the tax ends up has a much larger effect. On a more granular level, you and I both know that the "real" wealthy pay ZERO in estate taxes as their wealth is locked up in trusts...

It's about economics. Money doesn't really flow into equities. It flows into risk. The highest risk asset sets the market price for risk which we will call the marginal product of risk. The highest risk asset sets the price because being at the margin, it's the first asset to get sold in a...

The problem with this debate is there seems to be at least in academic circles a distinction made between income inequality and wealth inequality. I'm more concerned with wealth inequality. Most libertarian minded people are in that camp. More center left people are concerned with income...

I don't want to speak for him so my opinion to that would be the idea that some think that tax dollars taken from whoever don't actually go to the poor but to the oligarchs. So money actually flows up, not down. Thereby making the rich richer and widening the spread between the rich and...

The problem is, we have number line confirmations across the board. You usually never want to fight the number lines. The best short sales are when we get higher highs in price and declining number lines and vice versa on the downside. Obviously the market is overbought and has been for a...

So I sent Hoop an e-mail two days ago talking about the market and currencies in particular. The market looked tired and maybe about to roll over. God knows everyone on ET is still trying to topcall this thing. But I noticed a huge surge of money flows into the risk currencies. I've...

I thought the argument was about income equality. Arguing about senior corporate managers, especially the ones talked about in the media, I mean how many people are in that data set. They are not about Larry who is pulling down 800k at TI. They are talking about the Jack Welch's of the...

Yeah but you can say that about all data. All data is usually lumped together. I guess I'm struggling to understand what your argument is. Or maybe there isn't one.

Actually, it's more fair then you think. Let me elaborate. Both CEO's and actors are long call options (many CEO's literally). AND most CEO's, like actors do not get most of their income directly. With actors their income might come predominantly from the night shift at Denny's, and...
