    questions on Hang Seng future (HSI)

    No problems. I believe all reports must be outside of market hours. If any sneak thru they don't seem to have a big impact. Not like the US morning spikes.

    Buffet Slams Derivatives Markets

    Orange county was damaged by stupidity (I remember looking at them in my MBA). Barings bank combined stupidity with poor control systems and senior management stupidity (greed = lets wait). Derivatives are fine --- but like a gun or a motor vehicle or swimming pool they have risk. I'm...

    IB - Time for drug testing yet??

    1. Most crack dealers live with their mums so its not a valid comparison. IB staffers made enough on their stock options to move out. 2. 50k most definitely is small money. 3. I've had accounts with IB for around 10 years and they're great. No unreasonable problems. Long may it continue.

    Why low saving happens on Australian household?

    Its the same as the US. Growth in house values. Loans on your equity. Why drive a ford when ur neighbour's driving a bmw. Advertising and cultural driven expenditure despite the highest tax environment in the real world. Paid for by mineral exports to Asia. How bad is it to sell...

    Collective Intelligence - Market Always Moves to Hurt the Biggest Egos

    There is a risk that you're confusing correlation with causation. Biggest ego / most obvious ego is strongly correlated with predicting the end of a trend. Perhaps the market just has a higher tendency to trend than to reverse the trend :)

    Nite Session U.S. Index Futures

    Following on from notouch's comments. 1. There are two other nikkei225s to trade. Lots of people trade the SGXNK which moves in 5pt jumps instead of 10pts and each 5pt is 21 bucks. I thought the big nikkei was 1000 yen and 10 pt ticks = more than 25 bucks. Mini nikkei is 100 yen in 5pt...

    Do you trade more with left brain or right brain?

    OK. One more try. Since when is "understandable" a test of either veracity or utility. I could say "she's a bitch" and most would understand me but would it be true or would it be useful? On LBRB .. here's a the conclusion of an article that might help enlighten one about the utility of...

    Do you trade more with left brain or right brain?

    Do you trade more with left brain or right brain?

    Re reading it: your loss. The guardian reviewer didn't reach the bit about the modern views of the brain. If you want a less populist view try some of the material at http://www.edge.org/ Re the list: 80's style new age rubbish ... but not a valid representation of the brain but people...
