Quote from 1000: Once ES hits 1299.50 its going to go all the way down to 1251.00 pausing at 1280.00 then 1270.00. Thanks to Valentines day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congratas you nailed the first part, but I don't think...

What do you understand by liquidity? Why do you need more liquidity? Why you need the traders to provide the liquidity for you? Buy a Nymex contract and take it to delivery. That is all I ask you to do. Just do it. What do you fear. That you may not be here to tell the tale, that you may...

May be you should try buying a futures contract on the Nymex and taking it to delivery. Let's see if you get obliterated or not. If not you may feel extremely stretched. If you decide on gasoline, you may want to try saving all the fumes when filling up your tank next time. I still live...

Ok, convexity is a little difficult, how about elasticity? Whitster cannot say futures and options are zero sum if you are stretching contracts with contango and degredation. How about under insurance and over claiming, and under-reporting and over-profiting. Refco happened, and so did...

How would you rate the big bully order on the Euro last month at around 1.20? Was that the fault of the system or the regulators? And how would you regulate such bully orders?

The only thing that is crooked is the index finger

To trade a hybrid successfully, you need at least 2 entry points (accounts), possibly under at least 2 different names, because even after five years of some markets going from manual to hybrid to fully automated, the systems are still jinxed. Most platforms are programmed to auto-switch off...

What if the corn got washed away by hurricane Katrina, but it was insured, however, the amount in storage was not known, and an amount greater than 50K got claimed? It is not zero sum. The only way it can be so, is if God thinks he is Bill Gates, and 200 buy and sell contracts can be matched...

The problem with TM is that volume controls are not user defined. So you are not in control in a thinly traded market or a heavily traded market, but just in a market predefined by the TM programmers, who do not know trading anyway, so why they should set any of the controls is beyond me.

What about convexity? How do you account for 24 million new people in the US in one year? If the total global economy is about 32 trillion annualized, and there are about 6.5 billion people in this world, then the average person is valued at about $5000 per year, or the equivalent to 1...

May be I missed the point, but even the starvation caused by greedy dictators would not necessarily mean that they have hid all the cash underneath their fat dunlop. All the cash has to be accounted for by some central banking system, and that may be deployed in various asset forms. So...

Would you sell or buy the starving people of Sudan? And what would happen to the US deficit if the population of China went up by 1 billion?
