I was going to ask about this as well. I am debating on whether to learn about FX or FUTURES trading. FX seems a bit easier in terms of the learning curve, but the velocity in gains/losses are a step above. I'm worried about the tax ramifications actually. If it's even worth the trouble.

Anybody know what the actual PAYROLL figure to be? Not the Month to Month change? It's not the employment right? Payroll can increase month to month, but does it mean the same thing as employment? Or just job creation that may or may not have been filled? Thanks!!!

But what is it really based off of? I guess I want to know the ACTUAL PAYROLL, not the month to month change. i can't seem to find it.

how can our UE rate drop when job growth is still growing somewhat? i guess my question is, where is the data for me to see ? is it payroll, labor force, ? i've checked BLS but im still confused as to how they derive the numbers. how is positive job growth considered weak?

Hi, I am wanting to start FX trading and have started to read on babypips.com. Still, I think part of the learning process is to be involved w/ a 'demo' platform. But before signing up, I wanted to know more about the 'tax' changes and 'tax' concerns for trading FX. With the stock...

Hi, I'm compiling a report/presentation and wanted to know where I can really find 'data' in excel format on the U.S. economy. For example, I know I can find unemployment job data on BLS and etc. But what about treasury curve, consumer confidence, etc etc.? THanks.

what a giant engorgment. munis are litearlly the same as t-bills. lolz.......... anything US backed! a muni blows up. FINE, just restructure.. still US.. way better than investing in province w/ buildings that can't sustain .01 magnitude earthwauqke.

WTF is 0%? There is no such thing as 0% interest on time. You might as well park it at a bank, or some CDs. The reason why treasuries yield very little is because of the obvious. Liquidity is being pushed into this asset class. They yield more than a savings account, and most of all...

What type of background? I haven't been in the real-working world that long, but I would say, I've been at my current position for about 5 years or so after getting my undergrad in Business w/ emphasis on Real Estate (lol). I am experiencing a lot of political issues at work and feel blown...

CFA worthwhile for post-college guys like me? Need really serious input. I've been at a small financial institution for 4 years or so, and feel like I'm hindered w/ growth. The whole sector has been tough, and I've been wanting more input in terms of what I should do. Either pursue a...
