$35k is a steal. I know a friend of a friend whose neighbour from Dubai wanted to buy that for $100,000. But then how do we know what you sell is for real? You could simply sell 10 fake ones and make yourself $350,000. At the same time keeping the original one at home at your bedside. PA

I don't think a junior trader had the ability to con a multibillion dollar bank. Also, the motive of his action is not personal, but is simply to make money for the bank and keep his job. He was not "made an example". He was a scapegoat. If this kind of thing happened in the US, you can...

Humans are humans. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that. Societe Generale lacked risk management and internal control, which put employees in risky situations and put the bank’s money at great risk. The Executive Committee of SG has complete oversight and responsibility in...

Marketsurfer, I think it is great that Michael is considering holding the “Elite Trader Group Combine”. I appreciate it. I think it will be fun, and I think a lot of people might sign up. However, whatever the overall result is for Elite Trader Group Combine, I hope that people would not...

Will you trade along with us as well just for fun?

Yeah, that's pretty neat if you have a touch screen monitor. The thing I don't like is that they got rid of the Start button.

Does anyone else think Windows 8 looks ugly?

Does anyone else beside me think there are just too much apps out there? They have app for websites, which is a total overkill! I just want to use one app(browser) for accessing multiple websites.

You may consider putting things in perspective. You don't need the money for foods or shelter or medication. You just need the $320 to pay the Topsteptrader Combine fee to try your luck at the demo, which is exciting and really difficult at the same time. You do have courage, I give you...

I didn't even notice the date. I thought the court finally made the decision now. lol

It's a nice thing that you are doing, but as you may already know, no good deed goes unpunished. Sometime, it is better to just let the guy learn the value of money, learn how to be responsible, and learn to grow up. I am sure he will be able to make $160 through a part-time job within a...

Hmmmm....For a bank as large as Societe Generale, you would think they have their own internal audit and control department that prevent things like this from happening.

I am not trying to be negative, but if you can't afford $160, then you need to evaluate your priority. To every trader, trading, of course, is the priority, but you also need to make sure you have enough to take care of yourself. Make sure you have enough to support yourself and have a...

I might. If he is going, I gotta get him to sign my book.

Is Victor going?

I don't think TST need to fade anyone. They make good money from the business model itself, which is making money from membership and the combine fee.

I remember back in the days, there was this trader who was able to almost consistently pull in $1,000 to $2,000 per day. Of course, there would be occasions where he will have a $(500) to $(1000) loss/stop-out. However, unlike the Combine, his buying power was much higher--around $300K. I...

Keep on withdrawing my friend. Put the money in saving. You will thank me when you are able to do your 2013 tax return and claim your losses from 2012. PA
