    For those the learn from the school-of-hard-knocks, it depends on how far back the brain-cells go, 2000, 1987, 1970-something. They're probably loading up on treasuries by now...

    Are screen traders at risk of eyesight problems ?

    And make sure its one that does not have an optical business. An MD should never attempt sell you sunglasses, but many OD's will. Most vision changes are genetic, based on the growing shape of your head around your eyeballs.

    Why were the Nazis obsessed with art?

    Chances are he saw himself part of a long tradition of conquerors that collected the material form of booty, as opposed to revolutionaries that value the other form of booty (and usually destroy art). Supposedly the interest in the occult did not occur until the later years of heavy drug use...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    Its in the fine print of your IB agreement. One way that you can sometimes test it is to trade prime numbered odd lots and watch for them to stream by on one of your other broker's systems and note the lag-times.

    crazy 'surprise' rate cut talk...hello...FED mtg almost here

    What is this "make that big a difference" assumption you are operating on? What makes you think monetary policy has anything to do about making a difference. They may have other considerations they don't have to explain up front. Also, it would be easier for them to explain separate 50 and 25...

    There are Gold and Silver options traded on the eCBOT under the symbols ZG and ZI. The bid/ask is somewhat wide for ZG but its tradable if one can wait for over $10 moves, but ZI is so illiquid that it can only be used for very long-term trades at this time.
