I don't know where all the litigation will end but there is no question that America is in a death spiral with litigation induced inflation. I think that the impact of the ever increasing civil litigation in the United States, and all of North America for that matter has to be seriously studied...

My father-in law is an engineering executive for a large commercial builder. We were shooting the shit last week-end and some how the asbestos issue came up. He said, asbestos has been a big issue but he said that the issue of mold and air-borne spores in buildings is going to make the asbestos...

Thanks Profit sounds interesting. I will seek out the book and have a look at it. Babak sounds like he knows the book pretty well and has spent some time dissecting it. Conflicting opinions..... that's what makes this world so interesting, and of course profitable. Guess I'll just have to pick...

Perfect, thanks acrary !! I think anyone interested in reading Taleb's book will enjoy this article.

There is a very interesting article from the April 22-29 New Yorker that profiles Taleb his hedge fund and relationship with Niederhoffer. It is a good read and makes a nice precursor to reading Taleb's book. Perhaps somebody could post a link to it, unfortunately I only have a hard copy.

What is this book about? Is it a biography, market commentary, fiction, etc. ? The title sounds interesting anyone care to give a short precis ?

I have browsed this book and read a couple of reviews on it. I am hoping to read it sometime soon as it seems very interesting. Just haven't quite been able to get my hand deep enough in my pocket yet! Seems like a good one to add to the library though. I am waiting till i can pick it up...

So is the purpose of this post to initiate discussion on this book?

I would say the short answer to that question is a definitive NO! How are you going to get a prop. firm to hire you, 1. You're only going to be there for 90 days 2. More importantly.... you would be working illegally! Of course there is he complication here of whether or you are...

Hey Kean, I know what you are talking about I have seen it before. I don't usually trade such low volume stocks but I have seen the flashing before and always laughed it off saying it probably was some kind of signaling. Unfortunately, I was just too impatient or too lazy to watch these...

I have used Real Tick and Q-Charts both on an intra-day basis and found them both to be pretty good. Real tick was always pretty stable and the data was trustworthy. I found Q-charts was okay but have always been skeptical about their feeds, and the constant problems with switching between...

Once again, as always, thanks for the heads up Banker ! I'll be watching for the new pricing with anticipation. Things should get real interesting in the near future with the Nasdaq's latest announcement . MACD

I had heard that this was coming and it should really be no surprise. Nasdaq has one purpose with Supermontage and that is to eliminate the ECNs by being more like one itself. The ECNs have been kicking the Nasdaq's ass for a while now and consistently grabbing a bigger % of the liquidity out...

Automated, relatively useless. I have found the best to be Real-Time futures. com with Ben Lichtenstien (sorry bout' the spelling). For some it's just irritating noise but I found it very useful for extremely short-term trading (i.e. scalping). If your someone who can't take a shit...

What a classic name for a fund that blows up in seven days..... Ei-fuk-u lol,lol, I love it! I have suggestion for the name of their next fund, they should call it ..... We-fuk-u out of all you money that is! :eek: MACD :p

Thanks for the info Speedy! Have you traded remote with them? Why does the connection go down so often and what can be done to prevent it? Would you say that its viable to trade remote with these guys (Nasdaq) if you are a very active trader 1 million plus shares per day given this system...

Does anyone here trade through E-trade pro and if so what's their deal and any comments on them (god or bad) ? Thanks MACD

Sounds like those illegal proprietary trades were profitable....... for a while anyways. Even if there is a punitive element to the penalties these guys must have made a shit load to agree to the settlement!:eek:

Looks like your the kiss of death dude!!!!!:eek:

Thanks for posting CDN.
