Yeah, I'm looking at the compression pattern as well...have been fading the breakouts for the past few days...which is why I was wondering about cleaning out the stops...since the interbank brokers get paid on a very nice spread and stops are "guaranteed" -- it would be very advantageous to sit...

Thanks Trend Fader....

I'm fairly new to trading the EUR/USD and do so using the CME futures rather than interbank market. Anyhow, does anyone who regularly trades this notice the bank traders "cleaning out stops" during dead times? For instance tonight the EUR is running with no news, the ES are oversold but aren't...

actually, if you're replying to my previous post, it was regarding yesterday's night session....

Anybody watching tonights after session action in bonds? What's up with the strong rally? I don't think Asia is open yet...anything else driving it? EUR/USD falling while bonds rally...uncharacteristic as of late....

Yeah seriously -- although there was one stock that I couldn't get through TS/Bear and I know of two other people who found shares, both through prime brokers - ABN Amro, and SLK. Still, no complaints about TS's inventory. I mean the first thing I do when looking for short candidates is get...

I too have TS and have never had issues with short sale inventory -- but they are going self-clearing soon and this could really screw things up with regard to the depth of inventory...

Seriously, if you have a $20 MM account, don't play with OANDA and these retail markets...call up Goldman JP Morgan or Bear and see if you can get an account with them...they probably have better spreads, and you won't have to worry as much about your money being safe

Whew -- that was fun!

Like nitro, I'm in Chicago. It's nearly impossible to get an apartment deal to cash flow here (at least in my hood). People are chasing prices up. I'm assuming they're betting on further gains in housing prices, or they're using the interest to shield other income. Even factoring in income...

Buffet has owned this home in Laguna beach for quite some time - decades - and readily refers to it I would be interested in hearing about the other palatial estates that aren't talked about...

that works...but don't tell bloomberg. Use gotomypc.com or terminal services.

What do you mean? If you want to read his shareholder letters, just go to BRK's website. All the letters and annual reports are there. http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/

do you guys do any reading for news on bonds etc? I just read the credit markets section of the WSJ...after the close, etc. Do you guys look at anything in particular?

waggie..is that you selling some more bonds?

I feel your pain waggie...

25 hours and 7 minutes later... ...I hope for Vanilla's sake that his quotes were up and running long before now...

Surf, Have you ever read Buffet's piece, "The Super Investors of Graham and Doddsville"? If so I would be interested in your response. He basically attempts to refute the notion that he is a "black swan". The morsels about his little house/opulent villa is very interesting...where did...
