    Not much to add but just want to comment on one little detail that due to outsourcing and number of graduates years ago programming became commoditized and that is where a little bit of extra skill can help.

    I7 vs. Xeon E5-1607

    No difference because you will use 5% of processing power of each for regular trading. Xeon is a solid stable server workhorse. i7 has better peak performance geared for retail gamer/power computer user. I would personally stay away from Dell because of proprietary system difficult to upgrade or...

    [2008-09-04][RJA] Front-running algo ?

    Algo is big word for low volume ETN/ETF like RJA. There is not enough market depth and liquidity for big algo to go in. If anything it would be market maker/specialist order matching software but most probably it is lack of true market depth and interest.

    They complement each other. Both address technical analysis, market structure and trading. They focus on commodities, commodity markets and regulations. Their contributors offer more in depth economic analysis. I like it because this analysis is more sophisticated and they got well known people...

    Completely understand why HFT must exist

    Correction: they do not bother me a bit. I do not think that you can execute on quote that has been cancelled even if I had resting order somewhere - usually it would be in the different segment of the market ( ECN broker exchange ) and regular routing re-routing would not be able to...

    Completely understand why HFT must exist

    All your points 1-3 are valid. However, how much you or me really loose due to micro - millisecond market player. Realistically the fastest we can trade is in second time frame without going into more costly infrastructure/overhead. And within that second time frame market price shift...

    Is the way central banks view inflation simply wrong?

    CT10Gov assignment is to torpedo each thread that discusses inflation, government deficit, QE, Central Bank, government bond and turn discussion into personal insults, labeling people and grammar and punctuation contests so the thread quickly becomes useless.

    socialism in action

    This might not be the best example because R&D not always produces results and it takes many failures to achieve success. Some people may have issue with that. At least the money went into something other than parties, pencils, salaries and benefits for non-productive people. It may actually...

    Alternatives to Keynes or Austerity

    Tearing down monopolies, duopolies, big sisters, big government to return to free economy through smaller independent competing enterprises, privatized government agencies doing targeted work and eventually becoming independent businesses. Austerity is an old concept and will not work now. If...
