    So The Negative Jobs Number Last Month=Rate Cut

    I hold most positions for a minimum of a few days up to a few weeks and hold always overnight. Still see no reason to whine about "conspiracies" or market manipulation.

    Algorithmic Trading Gets Smarter After Quant Upset

    So are you trading any of these China stocks? Are you short any, own any puts? Do you put your money where your mouth is? Or - and that's what I think - are you just another paper trader that dreams of outsmarting the market with his top predictions?

    Algorithmic Trading Gets Smarter After Quant Upset

    The sad thing is they hide behind BS statistics and "25 sigma events" when they know exactly that financial markets do not follow normal distributions.

    EBay's Skype Bubble Bursts

    Marketshare of what? What market. A market IMO is a system that connects buyers and sellers. How does showing people ad free videos at no cost represent a market? Or running a free social networking site? That's not a market IMO, that's a waste of money trying to get the ever important...

    oanda maximum size trading

    Use IB FOREX or CME currency contracts for fast scalping. Oanda is slow executing at times, especially around news releases.

    I find it funny how GOOG says/thinks they are going to make money with Youtube?! All these "viewers", how exactly are they going to turn them into money? These companies acquire websites with millions of hits a day that make ZERO money. No business model whatsoever. Oh yea online advertising :p
