    Day/SWING/POSITION ?? TRADING

    Jim Simons speech at MIT

    I thought it was a little disingenuous of Jim Simons to complain about great math teachers going to google or goldman. I mean he employes about 100 phd's, what productive product are they producing, other than making money for the employee owned fund. He raided IBM's speech recognition...

    Portable high speed internet for trading

    art deco was probably watching porn while doing this test, titilating with excitment he probably got confused. Download is always faster than upload. Faster uploads are for servers and companies who host. Which costs a lot more money.

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    Tiger moms must be doing something right. try to go for a walk on the campus of Harvard, Columbia or any of the Ivy league universities, vast majority of students appear to be chinese or indian or jewish.

    Al Brooks trading room

    Mark Cook Predicts S&P500 -22% Correction in 2011

    Mark Cook and Robert Prector have been calling for mkt decline. Goldman Sachs thinks mkt will go UP 20% in 2011. Despite all the bearish sentiment, the mkt just keeps on going UP. I bet if you take a poll of ET members, 80% will say mkt will go down sharply in 2011. mkt rarely does what...
