Standard craziness of the bond markets on Non farm payrolls, eurostoxx was equally nuts, always an interesting experience, very high risk time to trade but potential for high rewards too.

This block trading has been allowed all along on eurex, it hasn't caused any problems for day traders in there. It's just a way banks can match up counterparties neatly without risking showing the bid/offer in the market by doing an open cross and getting partial fills for each party. I have ex...

I think you need to read the statement, it's hugely important, not just assume 25 cut = this or 50 cut = that

Just the statement in writing like this http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20071211a.htm or after the 75 cut http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20080122b.htm

Well he's French so it will take him about a decade to write. He'll have to put in at least 5 hours a day if it's a full time job and then strike over the pay conditions terms of contract etc It'll be a while...

<b>SocGen postmortem</b> Published: January 26 2008 02:00 | Last updated: January 26 2008 02:00 There are two central questions in the case of Jérôme Kerviel and Société Générale. What was the precise nature of his position? And does it explain the sharp decline in European equities...

Order that pint at standard pub in City of London and it will be £3.30 x 2.03869 = $6.73 As for petrol/gasoline 1US gallon = 3.785 litres and we're at £1/litre so $7.72/US gallon so you'd need to leave some over if you plan to drive anywhere Out of interest, I've noticed big local day...

More all time highs in gold, there were some good short term sells in there recently but I hope the bearish guys on here were only short term short, same deal with the oil - $2 fast sell off then straight back up, crazy trading last week.

Change the record! How many more threads do you want to start with the same theme?? zzzzzz There are 100 tic daily ranges in the bund now and you can't find an opportunity!!?

Who cares about 10 years ago if I'd invested last year I'd be seething, what a rubbish performance, it's not like the markets haven't returned, they should have lumped into a tracker fund - very lame! Heads should roll for this tripe.
