If Cramer issues a sell sell sell recommendation...

Is the media supressing the real state of China? If they have lost 30 mm jobs, it sure doesn't seem like it. If anything, seems like good ol USA is in the gutter, while China and Russia are flying high. I stopped trusting the media long time ago, though.

As opposed to what, a one class system, ala what Hitler wanted? Funny thing is, many of the "poor class" have still have cell phones, television, heaters, refridgerators.... the uppoer class in 3rd world nations are lucky to have these amenities.

What do you mean by "Class System is in place"?

How much is the loss? Remember a lawyer will probably take 30+% of any recovery... it has to be in their interest too.

Thanks guys! BTW - do you know typical payout amounts for shared capital? Is there an industry standard? Or when trading your own capital, what % generally goes to the firm?

"We trade the firm's private capital. Experienced traders have the opportunity to come and trade on our floor for 3-4 weeks to show us a track record on their current account. Once all benchmarks are met we can build a proprietary relationship with the trader and he/she would begin...

Nice call. It would have been better if you called it 2 years ago... but who can complain :) Not to get "South America", but why do you see the US economy improving in the next 12 months? I agree with all your predictions, except that one, as a major consumer recession lies dead ahead. As...

Grab the sides of your stomach...

I'm waiting for the apathy stage. I thought we might have been there, but people keep trying to call bottoms, or at least look for one. But we had a 500 down day today, and it really didn't get as much press as it would have last week (prior to the 777 day). A 500 down day would have been...

Why don't you go on strike then?

Me too, literally one minute prior, put on a short trade. Now I'm holding on thinking it's overbought. That was strange (and painful!).

Yea, something didn't seem right. Equities screamed higher in the last 30 minutes, and bonds remind basically unchanged. I am thinking of going short tomorrow, as by many accounts GDP will come in at +2%, which will give every excuse to extend the equity rally and sell off the bonds. Guess...

Yes sir, a hike

Monsieur Trichet: It's not just the price of oil, my yankee friend. I believe the price of oil will come down as a global slow down takes route. In fact, all commodities should recede, and if not, I think that the Americans will raise the margin requirements which should further spurn a...

Representing the ECB here. I'm going to hike. This is because our mandate is more "inflation topheavy" and we will need to make sure inflation is tame. Yes, we are going to hurt growth. But inflation is more of a concern at this point. As Bernanke, I will be forced to raise rates in 2009...

Job opportunity asking experience on a prop desk, hedge fund, or "dealer desk." I'm assuming this means Broker Dealer trading, but does anyone know for certain? Thanks, BB

What are your average holding times for each position? Looks like they can be held for weeks if the movement is small.

I understand. Probably most would agree that any public intervention will always cause more damage than not. But we will need to trade this one way or the other, and it could be a major market moving event. How would you trade this? I'm just wondering if it can backfire, i.e. once it's...
