What's the potential profit/loss of a position like this?

The TKR article stood out for me, that's the kind of comapny private equity likes. Also DEO mentioned in the Brown Foreman article. You just cannot go wrong with SIN stocks these days, gambling, alcohol and tobacco. On another note, I'm playing hurt this weekend, I was walking in to the...

Monday they'll be flat. :D Tuesday, they will have forgotten all about the "nonbinding" vote. WS just doesn't care about the war.

He did this for one reason, to get publicity for Sirius.

I would say its a great day IF its from an action thats repeatable. If not, then its a lucky day. Either way,nice job!

Historically an oz. of gold has bought 17 or so barrels of oil. Now the ratio is about 11 barrels. This speaks to higher gold or lower oil. With the historical ratio intact, oil would be somewhere around $40. I think the $20 or so difference in oil can be called the "Bush Premium"

If you like that one, this is another great time waster. http://blanktop.blogspot.com/ Its amazing the stupidity out there. I really don't know how some people get through the day without harming themselves or others.

Lee thanks for that- I stumbled on your website last night and was reading some of the articles. Its seems pretty interesting. How much power do the MMs have to pin an underlying to a strike on expiration? Look at NBR today which was totally pinned to the 30 handle all day and I'm guessing...

First, I never said anything about a "hobby" second, you could answer either of the other 2 questions, it probably takes a good 10-15 years to become proficient as a surgeon, and probably a few hours to learn to lie good enough to be a lawyer. So if the correct answer is 10 years, then so be...

It seems like the best way to get into a hedge fund these days is to be able to program. If you already have an extensive trading background, what language is best to learn? C++? Also, how long does it usually take to become proficient in C++?

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for.

Can anyone recommend a book written by an option market maker on how they actually make markets? I thought it would be an interesting read.

Would either of these help? http://tradethenews.com/ http://theflyonthewall.com/splashPage.php?action=main&arg=A

Look at QID, I think its a better way for you to hedge if you aren't familiar with options.

Don't worry, we'll show 'em by bidding up corn prices. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6319093.stm :D :D :D :D Maybe this is why they need credit cards!

Around here its the "illegals" who are the hardest working. I hear them out shovelling snow in the winter, before I'm even up, mowing lawns in the heat of summer, washing cars all day, etc. They're probably a better credit risk than the fatso who sits on the couch all day eating bonbons...

If she was a man and traveled on a private jet with a woman, she would have already been fired.

What's wrong with this? How can you expect these people to ever be good 'Murkans unless they experience the joys of debt? This country is powered by debt, and quite frankly, the more people that have credit cards, the better off we all are. :p
