    So B & G are short the dollar...so what?

    I'm not here to argue with you - simply pointing out that your comments which appear reasonable, are simply naive based upon your lack of significant experience. You should figure out what size transactions are material to Buffett though.

    So B & G are short the dollar...so what?

    [B]There is no hypocrisy in following industry wide accounting practices while arguing for changes to industry wide accounting practices. Until the rules are changed, you follow the existing rules. To do otherwise is grossly irresponsible to your shareholders. --->>For all his hoopla, he...

    So B & G are short the dollar...so what?

    Its not a cheap shot - if Buffett was forced to mark to market all his holdings, as he expects others to do, his results would be different. Your emotional outburst only confirms your groupie status. And, anyone who can buy and hold and choose when to exit a trade on their own choosing, will...

    So B & G are short the dollar...so what?

    When you run money as large as Buffett/Gates etc, these fortunes take on an almost living quality and these "losses" are like an illness or a bruise. But lose a billion here, a billion there and sooner or later it adds up. Buffett's rep is huge, and the rep causes many other big players to...

    So B & G are short the dollar...so what?

    [B]I have read that Buffet & Gates have been short the dollar for quite some time and used forwards to accomplish this.

Same type of training, exposure to how real traders operate, what real customers do/say ect, exposure to organizational issues which are repeated elsewhere and, if you're worthwhile, they will pay you fir your time and...

    Understanding Rolling Forward

    IMHO, and take this as constructive comment, but, if you're asking these questions, nat gas is the wrong place for you to play. Theoretically, oldest longs get del'd first, so some will actually keep buying/selling so they are not the oldest long going into del'y. Some brokers will actually...

    Neural Network

    nitro--Of the folks I know who are serious quants, trade for a living and apply AI & NN work to trading, none of them publish, or post to retail-oriented websites. They dont want publicity, in any form. They prefer a bonus check.

    Fastest possible execution

    pedro--Have you actually looked to see where the delays are? You have a lot of potential delays/bottlenecks in what you're describing. Maybe try using something like pingplotter to try and discover whats slowing down your ability to execute.

    eSignal 8.0 Has Been Released!

    I gotta agree that when a product announcement surfaces, let the vendor answer questions from legit customers on how to implement the new version. As much fun as it is to take cheap shots at esignal, if you must do that, start your own thread and let those who use the product and would like a...
