You need to consider that some of the responses you received are from folks who try and pick up a nickel here and there. If you're a legit customer, you trade differently - you are in no real hurry (maybe you are) to liquidate a strategic position you built up, you can probably liquidate the...

You need to look at a map and see how big iran is, how far away israel is and the flying range/striking distance of a F 16. Now, re-fueling is another issue. Covert teams will do nothing to a nuke site, well, besides maybe spray painting the sign outside it!

How would Israel get their planes BACK from a target in Iran? And whats the target?

Its obvious, from your comment, that you have no institutional experience. His order isnt a big deal and giving it to some two-bit broker to work is simply giving money to some sleaze, who will take advantage of the guy and hand out party favors to other brokers. Work the order yourself or...

I dont see the big deal. Simply go buy puts, and sell some calls against it, and then sell your stock. What you lose in slippage, you'll capture in options. Its not that big a deal.

I love GOOG - lots of opportunities every day.

If you're going to be a directional trader in a market that offers inter-market arb opportunities every day, you better get used to this happening. Only the house with the order knows what it was for and where it went. The amount you "think" was "lost" is not even noise for that size...

what would you do with a 100oz bar? slice it up and try to barter it?

The last serious CB who mis-reported to the IMF was the Russians in early 90s. They came clean and paid the price through the late 90s as they re-built reserves. Any serious CB who mis-reports and has borrowings will get crushed - its simply not worth their effort. But the story is deeper...

Theres a lot of mis-information in the market, especially at the retail level. Perhaps you should ask the folks saying CBs lend gold and never get it back, to show you exactly from which accounts the gold came from. I mean at a certian point the accounts had to reflect some balances or else...

Avid-- You're assumptions are not correct. If a CB lends gold to an IB, most likely the metal is then re-lent to a gold miner, who sells it to raise cash for operating or debt reduction purposes. The physical sale by the miner, acts as a hedge for part of the mines output, and that output is...

Do you mean taking del'y of a gold warehouse receipt or taking physical del'y of the gold bar? Hopefully, you realize that once you take physical del'y a warehouse loses the physical trail of who holds the metal and may require proof that the bar has not been altered so you can put it back...

Its not uncommon to see large orders get executed and the market immediately goes against them. Try looking at OBV v MF v Volume Usually in a day or so the OBV overwhelms the price unless new buyers/sellers show up. Think of it this way, if you were selling a zillion lots of something...

Keep in mind if a miner has deliverable production, their mark to market on a hedge book may look terrible, but if production costs remain below selling price, they still make money.

If CBS has some concrete evidence, this is just the beginning. Press will jump on this as its an easy target. I wonder how many folks will tune in to 60 minutes on sunday? briefing says NYT is also coming out with a similar piece.

1. Look at the implied interest rate between futurees months in various markets and basically 'borrow' money from one, 'lend' to the other. 2. If you can take delivery, trade the spot futures month, on a swap basis. If you really have money, why do you ask questions like this?

The big problem with building it yourself or mixing components is the first time you have a problem, no vendor stands behind what you did. Its a lot easier to simply go to Dell, get the extended warranty, and if you have a problem call them and they repair/fix it in a day.

When I read the article, i was struck by some of the wording. Goldbugs are never happy. First they want metal off the market, then they dont, then they want secure vaults, then they dont. Then they want transparency in who holds what, then they dont. You just cant please most people.

IMHO, the more passionate the poster, the less I trust them. Instead of a stop, where you can get very real slippage, consider a Put as your downside parachute.

Because of Dell's support and extensive selection, try looking at their PCs made for financial trading and buy the most expensive, most powerful workstation they have. It'll seem like overkill now, but in 6 months you'll be using it. Buy Dells extended warranty so you can US-based help, try...
