    Rogue Trader, Chicago Style (Great Story)

    Even though your def. of 'rogue trader in the US' is lax (is it someone who is doing 'rogue' in the US, is based in the US, or was born in the US (US citizen), or what?) Howie Hubler @ Morgan Stanley - damages: ~9bn USD (that's more than the SoGen guy) Brian Hunter @ Amaranth Advisors -...

    CFTC unveils new tools to stop market manipulation

    I fear new legislation coming banning 'cancel orders'. Once your order is in, it will stay in. No 'spoofing'. And no more sell orders, while you're at it! On a more serious note, how is 'spoofing' even a problem? Like that would seriously alter price equilibriums... And who takes EOD data...

    October 11, 2010 Thomas Peterffy Speech at the World Federation of Exchanges

    "It should be shocking, but it probably is not, that according to the Rule 606 reports mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, no major online broker, with the sole exception of Interactive Brokers, sent more than 5% of its orders to an organized exchange. More than 95% of their...

    where are those imbeciles that called for par Euro?

    LOL, Europe was open, China was open, the US was closed. And the dollar did a happy bounce. You just can't blame others for the sinking USD.

    What is the revenue maximizing tax rate?

    In my experience across many countries and continents people will pay 10% fully. Between 10-20% they start to look for legal ways to reduce the taxes payable (reducing the tax base, getting reimbursements, etc.) Above 20% they will start using gray and black methods. Again, every country I've...

    Litltle things that screw up a picture

    The saddest part about these is that if you go to these places today, you would see how the standard of living was higher back then. Cities, villages, even industrial plants were orderly, well maintained, even clean. Today these places are junkyards, people live shorter miserable lives, and its...

    Big Bro can watch you, But you can't watch him!

    Who's fault is it that it is this easy? Think of Clinton: he almost was thrown from office because of a b/j?! In Europe he would've been even more popular. Look at Sarko, or Berlusconi. The more people hear about their horndogging the more they like them. So if the American public weren't...
