Merrill paying $10M to settle SEC fraud charges Merrill paying $10 million fine to settle SEC fraud charges on trading NEW YORK (AP) -- Merrill Lynch on Tuesday agreed to pay a $10 million fine to settle civil securities fraud charges by regulators who accused the firm of misusing...

Indeed, health insurance hikes are astounding. Anyone who is trading full time will encounter this-- and I've had higher than 15%.

I know there are a few legal experts lurking on the board. A friend has been (indirectly through his ISP provider) subpoenaed from some company he discussed (obviously in a negative light, I assume) on a forum, and is looking for legal advice. Any personal experience in this area is...

The way I see it... If a major institution comes out with a major call and disseminates it to the masses, it's actually a good bit of information (if you're able to decode it that is).:D http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2373955&highlight=goldman+sachs#post2373955

Not a bad rec (and a great price), however, I doubt too many of the classic TA crowd will grasp much of it. There's the TA crowd and the more quant oriented crowd; that title is geared more towards the quant crowd. Another more modern title with a similar slant is "Statistical Models and...

I'll take a stab on the 30 bit input 1st. If #14 is H and #22 is L Target = T 75% success rate. I didn't spend too much time validating it... just a quick stab.

Of course it was only a one liner. But I can honestly say I've been on both sides of the table (more on the interviewer side) many times and confidence does work. That being said, it's usually of technical nature and I'm able to back it up. Many of the most desirable candidates were the...

Not too inspiring... Try this one. "You know the guy that walks on water in every company? You're looking at him." (and then back it up:D ). That being said, if you've already dazzled them with your competence and/or resume, they should never have to ask that question.

Although the rules weren't all that explicit about where to submit to, the instructions were pretty clear. http://www.dailyspeculations.com/wordpress/?p=5652#comments See Ken Drees' (appointed moderator) entry on rules. As for where to submit, my interpretation is to simply comment to the...

Well said. I also have 'stock market logic' sitting among the relics on the stock market shelves. Although no one knows the future, I too wouldn't be surprised to see some type of pullback/dip in Jan. I've seen one too many run-ups of this velocity pull back in early Jan in recent history...

Eli Wallach. He was also in Godfather III as Al Pacino's backstabbing nemesis. Excellent actor. As far as who he represented... my guess is sort of an amalgam between GS/AIG (Churchill Shwartz). There were several hints that alluded to such.

I've heard from a few folks to be cautious around the holidays, as retailers are becoming more and more strict about imposing mandatory restocking fees. On the one hand, I understand the need to protect themselves from free-renters, on the other, electronic devices are notorious for having...

Gotta love it when CEOs tell employees to 'tighten' their belts and take cuts for the good of the company (i.e. shareholders), and as an example they boldly announce they will only take 1 dollar as a salary for the year. All the while, they have a boatload of options worth millions that will...

I assume you meant "trading systems and methods," but I was thinking the same thing, particularly since his handle is econometrics... Plenty of modern econometrics based knowledge the layman can follow in the book as well. It's a pretty large book, but very comprehensive-- only complaint, is...

P/E ttm is only 20. Forward est at 12. It's not like you're comparing tech boom days... amzn to 400 with a negative to infinite P/E. From a purely fundamental perspective, I don't see the numbers as being that far out of the ballpark, or what am I missing here?:confused:

While that would be the low budget vaporware version of the start up dot com tale...I would highly recommend "Extraordinary Measures," as a highly plausible account of a successful start up (in the biotech space) with great acting as well. Not saying there isn't any truth to the film, but the...

That was another poster's quote, but I ask because it's hard to really say what's better or not, without some type of metric for comparison. As another poster pointed out, what good is a diagram of the response to a perfect edged step input? It is meaningless and arbitrary with regards to...

What metric do you propose to demonstrate better results? I can whip up a version of the reverse engineered JMA that I've seen in the past.

Are there any other types of studies that show merit to Jurik? I've seen a proprietary version of his algorithm reconstructed, but it wasn't anything unusually special, it ended up being something like a 7 tap FIR. What do you find especially useful about his work? And is he known for...

anesthesiaman, Just curious.. what about the changes are prompting you to leave? It sounds like a cushy job (at least on the surface). Once you learn the trade, I would expect that there aren't a lot of new things to learn that are stressful, like technology jobs. Is that true? On the other...
