China has an emerging debt/economy problem which is tremendous in scope. Although what they say about a nuke exchange may be for domestic consumption, it has to scare the crap out of any military planner (not to mention the rest of us), that a top Chinese military official speaks casually of...

How come when a hedgie exits a position everyone assumes its at a profit? I thought the selling in oil yesterday looked more like stop-loss selling. Plus hedgies returns really suck lately. One guy who sends me emails updating his performance is down like 35% YTD and his cash under management...

Anyone finding that briefing website is slow to get to, and not really easy to navigate around on a timely basis lately? It just seems real slow and somewhat unusable.

Any thoughts on why the Chinese have suddenly raised the aircraft carrier into drydock at Dailan shipyard, after it lay dormant for three years? It is the former Soviet carrier Varyag

volante - I was told by many posters on another thread that ET traders never lose money, never have stops filled (much less away from the market) and make tons of money every day. These folks dont get scared by sudden 200 point plunges, they step in and start buying - well - thats what they...

Delivereies are very mis-inderstood. Oldest long gets delivery first, so unless you've been sitting long since contract opened up, you're probably not the oldest long. I've traded into delivery months with gold, oil, bonds and the big problem is liquidity dries up, but if you're on the market...

Funny how on ordinary days, there are stories of broken trades, bad fills etc etc, on an extraordinary day, just tales of profits and papertraders deciding who made and lost. Oh well, another trading site loses credibility.

So, on a wild day with a big range, nobody has breaks, or big stops and the results are either small losses or major up day. Pretty amazing set of results, not really believable though.

All the posts since yesterday say the traders made buckets of dough. From reading the comments, and the accompanying analysis, it is my humble opinion, that the term,"..I could have or should have..." needs to be injected for many of the posts here. I simply dont believe all or most of you...

When I saw it tanking, I had the impression folks were freeing up margin money to buy other stuff .

Look at ZB!!!!!!! Appears to be a major terrorist action in London - Dow News Services spitting out headlines at an incredible rate

Put a trade on where you can sleep at night. Singles and doubles pay the rent. Homerun hitters strike out a lot.

Just wait - the well-known Canadian juggernaut will soon catapult gold back to ( you insert the price). :D

Take the one with the biggest salary - draw against commiss is a suckers game.

If they're GM machines, do I get zero percent financing?

Who was the poster who said this time its different for gold?

I shy away from political discussions on boards but, the US lacks the political will and capital to destroy Iraq to make a point. No one should doubt that the US could return Iraq to the desert very quickly. But with a limited force structure in Iraq, the US has now fought to a stand-off - the...
