Eliot Spitzer on Regulatory Reform (And His Own Future) By Femi Oke, Katherine Lanpher Guest: Eliot Spitzer Thursday, June 18 2009 http://www.thetakeaway.org/stories/2009/jun/18/reality-regulatory-reform/ Tainted as he is, I think he is the best guy we have got to unravel this mess.

Hummmmm Yes, I think you have something here. That and the fact that unemployment actually rose to 629,000 last week. They seasonally adjust the numbers by deducting 100,000 or so from the numbers in July because autoworkers are usually furloughed this time of year while the plants...

You honor me too much sir. Thanks

Yes. Exactly!

NT's claim to fame is that he correctly pointed out that the Value at risk models assuming a normal distribution did NOT fit reality because of the fairly frequent occurance of events 4 or 5 standard deviations from the mean. In other words fat tails. He was right and I agree with his 10.

This is where the NYSE is going. I am not in IT, but from the little I know, I believe that the two tier system, when fully implemented will be a lot harder to front-run. http://www.articlesbase.com/information-technology-articles/juniper-boosts-the-speed-of-economy-1047008.html :)

Yes They could have until July 2, for sure. NYSE evidently just speeded up NJ to 50ms, so it just got harder. GS still might have an edge, depending on the speed of their new processors and switches.

You sound very young and sincere, but you need to consider a wider context. The ordinary people have been getting burned by Wall Street at least since the Reagen Administration. My first comments concerns the role of Wall Street in general, and GS is the quintessential member of that...

Goldman employed a guy that patented a method of superfast traffic routing for telecom. The FIX tag making the offer to buy is sent prior to execution commit. Until the July 2ed Juniper switch upgrade of part of their system, the latency on the NYSE Euronext was 150ms (milliseconds) compared...

And then there is the dark Flash. http://www.reuters.com/article/reutersComService_2_MOLT/idUSTRE55E4RR20090615

More peices of the puzzle. An interesting compendium of circumstances, some of which have been mentioned here before. SUMMARY: The person Goldman Sachs recently had arrested, was a person who was a specialist in intercepting and indexing network routing information and may just...

NQ popped right up after the sell off on tiny prints and no new news last night. ES feels old and stoggy. Like it is going to tell me to get off its' lawn next.

Yeah that awful Commie Henry Ford. If Chinese workers were paid the same as American workers for the same job at the same skill levels, then China would have no problem absorbing it's own production. They are not because the corporations that outsourced the jobs did so to avoid paying labor...

A more interesting question would be what would happen if China doubled the wages of it's factory workers. Suddenly internal demand would absorb those unsold exports.

What are you three? Lets simplify this a bit. If a desirable product is produced, but the value added accrues to only 1% of the population, people do not have the capacity to buy a highly engineered high quality product like a high quality car. The market for this product will be...

What a business man most needs is customers that can afford to buy. That is one of the most basic market research studies prior to opening any retail establishment, is the customer base with the income there. A person with very little money buys very little of anything, so the man...

In so far that there is a grain of truth here, It is because American Unversities are some of the biggest abusers of the H1B visa program, which allows them to hire post Doc foreign students as teaching assistants for 17K a year. The Universities take terrible advantage of the H1Bs, save...

WORD! And real poverty is not in town, or the city. My mom used to be a public welfare worker in rural NC, and then Tenn. People raised gardens, mended thin clothing, some children could not go to school because they had no clothes and were deaf because of ear infections. And had bad...

Hi New to futures. I have been trying to figure out my Open-e-Cry futures account statements. Seems in the Purchase and Sales section, Open-e-Cry does not appear to match the sell and buy orders sequentially as they occured. Also they always carry over the buy or sell whoes book...
