cash clay, 1) i'm almost positive that is bad data on the chart 2) carl icahn didn't "invest" in SSE, he got it as part of the spinoff of Chesapeake. There is 1.5bn of debt on the company (a nice chunk due in 2019) and for icahn this little spin off is like 0.0001% of his portfolio. And, its...

the date on that "buy" was in august and it is exactly where the market was at that date. the amount is very small, and i'll bet it was it was either under one of their employee retirement programs, or just opportunistic shot in the dark. Overall most of these seem to be perks and part of...

the amounts seem tiny relatively speaking. what is "the original price"?

Mr Miyagi sends you old school book reading for a timeless problem of discretionary trading for a cerebral person: 1) The Disciplined Trader 2) Trading in the Zone Also keep a journal of each trade. Those executed and those not. Record how you feel, think and act before during and after...

retail traders that become very successful get an office. (you have to shower, get out of bed, and get away from the wife / kids). they may buy seats and other such strategies to reduce their commissions and increase execution speed. they would subscribe to every service that they deem...

Maybe i misunderstood the question. i thought he was talking equities. when trying to key what the big guys are accumulating / distributing which names. Clearly there is a lot of volume in the morning as the markets digest overnight news and react to what futures have done in response to...

the behemoths need to do their volume at the beginning and end of the day (really the end of the day) for size reasons - the big guys know this is when the volume will be there for certain. When you are blackrock for example, or a large hedge fund with a huge position, if you come in with a...

they're probably going to normalize the discount rate - which no one is using (the discount window) - as a symbolic precursor to a dec rate hike. getting everyone "ready" emotionally. just another nice hand holding exercise to make sure the markets won't spoil the coming hike with a tantrum.

"they want me to download forms ,print, fill up forms and post it to them. This is too much ." i am speechless.

I'm not going to do your research project, but sectors with the most financial flexibility would have: high margins high barriers to entry low cyclicality high value added / low commodity correlation conservative financial leverage (i.e. plenty of dry powder) strong brands low regulatory...

That would be great! Would it would win business back from the dark pools? ... Or would it hit EPS too hard given all the heavy spending they have been making on technology (and acquisitions for tech). Tech spending prob not slowing down anytime soon - i think that is an understatement. The...

I'm not sure that i see anything has changed (since before physical exchanges went digital). Co-Located HFT's and algos are the new "locals". To be a local you had to buy a seat ($$$) and get "direct access" to the floor. Try to jump ahead of big orders as they came in before retail traders...

As far as futures and options go, even if you were a full exchange member (and walk down on "the floor") you can trade directly but still need someone to clear you. In effect, vouch for your creditworthiness. Chase you down when you go bust and sell your seat and take your first born son...

"no slippage and commission" lets discuss. we are talking about a system that trades in relatively fast markets with a small data delay for those not co-located.

There is a possibility that the watch will eventually house the power in current smartphones and screens will be foldable portable accessories. But i am not certain that a watch is the thing to kill smartphones within the next 10 years. Consumers had to beg Apple to launch a phablet and then...
