some judge seems to have allowed OSTK's lawsuit to go to trial. seems gradient or whoever objected was over ruled

It was weird how Byrne didnt fall back into asking how OSTK' short interest is supposedly bigger than what DTC holds. Instead, they just spat at each other and some CNBC guy told Greenberg to keep his comments on point and Greenberg proceeded to say how clean he is. I thought it was a weird...

IMHO, we need to get past the personalities and crazy comments. How can we prove, factually, that OSTK short interest is above what DTC holds? Thats the real issue here. Can anyone supply the actualy links to facts? I'd truly like to see them because thats the number that will drive...

I've looked at the wcci for a while and finally met Woodie at the esignal talk he gave at the NY Expo. Woodie seems like a very nice guy, well-intentioned and good natured. I liked him as a person and found him knowledgeable. His system, in all fairness, is quite complex and requires very...

Personally, I dont care what any of them do. But if those white house reporters could get sources to release them from secrecy agreements, I'd think Greenberg would want to show hes clean for his own credibility. His credibility is how he makes a living, right?

I'd be interested - I trade the minis, energy plus metals.

FWIW, one firm offered to "set aside" shares for me to short if I let them know by like 7AM and they had them. There was no obligation to short, just a heads up to them of the need for shares.

Greenberg doth protest too much - if he was clean as a whistle, why not PUBLICLY release everything and make the SEC et al look like fools and him an angel to the investing public? It would be a public relations coup if he walked away the total innocent who was being unfairly hounded.

London fixing is used as an international standard, however there is also an arb of ny v PM fixing. gold price fluctuates all day every day.

gold mkt is based on London delivery. London is the true terminal market for inter-bank trading. you'll hear the expression, Loco London, which means Location London versus loco NY, or loco Guam. warrants versus Ldn etc All physical swaps are based on a spread versus London. For the truly...

A guy makes, on average $145,000 a day???? So working 200 days a year means he make sUS$ 29 milliona year. Say he pays 50% taxes, unlikely, so his take home is $14.5 million, plenty of folks will massage anything he wants for some of that. Keep in mind if he does it for a few years that initial...

Gold cost of carry typically just refers to the contango. The cost of del'y, shipping etc needs to be done in reasonable amounts, eg, try going over 300 lots or more or your expenses will be higher than you expect. Also, if you take del'y you are responsible for storage charges and when you...

All in all a good story, but why hasnt the stock moved up at all? Thats what I dont get - its like a puzzle.

sunday/monday for me - wheres the party?

My sincere advice is this --> GO SEE A LAWYER.

Why would anyone accept a back-end payment? Especially if the biz isnt on-going, has no track record and puts the prof in a bind if you guys fail? If he accepts a back-end payment, either he'll deliver nothing or he's an idiot.

maybe folks were simply booking some profits after taking a massive beating in natural gas and energy cracks. theres no shortage of oil, ng or gold. throw in the massive bonus' recently paid to hedgies and some feel like they own the markets, even, if they are down significantly for january.

With energy trading down, equities range-bound, and a greatly anticipated 30 year this week, dont you think gold/silver may be getting ready to tank? Even Iran is doing stuff in moderation. They could have picked a fight in Dec/Jan, not in mid-Feb with oil/ng supplies plentiful.

If you're gonna trade 24/7 be careful to know where liquidity is. Look at some charts and you;ll see weird spikes sometimes where stops get taken out. Otherwise, I love the overnight market.

Dont let day trades turn into swing trades. If it dont work now, most likely it aint working overnight or in 2 days.
