Hey Brandon. First of all just want to say after reading your blog elsewhere on the Net (don't know if I'm allowed to point to other financial websites here or not - if I can let me know & I'll post a link or someone else can)... I have great admiration for you dealing with the pain that...

I saw the news item on Trader Vic Sperandeo (whose 1st book I have) getting involved in a commodities fund startup. Got me to thinking & reminiscing... Has anyone met, dealt with, or traded with any of Schwager's Market Wizards (or those of similar trading/investing caliber, you decide)...

This is fascinating, meskhot. I currently work in an institution, somewhat associated with the credit trading side (though I am not a trader). I have a question. You state, first: "most of the positions were purely directional and speculative" and you did this in high yield, emerging mkt...

why can't the (mostly) free market decide? there is a market for ultra small to massive passenger planes and everything in between... the superjumbos have a use, that is in the economical moving of passengers on long-haul routes - the cost/passenger is lower, that is why airlines are...

CME should just team up with ICE somehow. I have heard (though not experienced) that the ICE systems are not 100% reliable - so CME partnership could build confidence. CME+ICE would probably be a stronger competitor to NYMEX, rather than CME, ICE and NYMEX in a 3 way competition.

yeah, ok, good point

I don't know about that... there's a lot of "second tier" people at LEH making astonishing amounts of money...

respectfully, your tale sounds like the lyrics to a country song

I don't think the computers will make a difference at first in the hands of people who face famine, at least not at first. However, where it will make a difference in the 3rd world will be to promote freer flow of information, access to outside ideas, which will hopefully promote democracy...

What about starting a prop firm in the Persian Gulf somewhere? Isn't there around that might find prop trading exciting? If you ran a trading room, this would give you a venue from which to trade yourself.

I agree. I never bought any of his systems, but I did always read his articles in Futures Magazine with interest. I got lots of ideas from them. I mean, come on... why do people expect the world of other people? I never read Murray's articles and said "OK, now I'm going to apply all my...

Murray - I have registered on your website but the .pdf download for the Nasdaq 100 tutorial doesn't seem to be coming through. Can you check this when you get the chance? Much appreciated as I'd like to have a read.

If he wants to be working at a top tier bank or hedge fund, it wouldn't hurt to have a degree in math or science from an Ivy League or equivalent university. While he is still in undergrad he could probably do Wall St. summer internships. In hindsight, I sort of wish I would have worked a...

Hi Murray Question for you. I understand that I can define the basket of stocks and then apply a system uniformly to that basket and see the portfolio result. However, can part of that trading system be the selection of the basket? For example, my global universe is the S&P 500. Every...

Hi Murray Question for you, does TradersStudio allow for: a)

Question: in this quest for fulfillment, could you not simply change your attitude/perspective towards money, business, and women and *not* pursue trading? Or is trading a necessary part of the endeavour?

actually, I think it has more to do with this: A buys a CDS from B Then A sells it to C If there's a default on the reference asset, C will need to collect from B. But it will need to go through A (who is flat) first. If there are delays, then a corporate default could clog up the...

That is amazing... I would have considered Nord Pool a more obscure exchange and thus tough to make money. May I ask how you know these stats, given this trader doesn't give interviews?

I buy the theory/reality that exchanges turning into for profit enterprises instead of member-owned, has driven the volume from pits to electronic (particularly Chicago). Since there are still options traded in the pits in Chicago, will the same thing happen there? What is the barrier to the...

hi joesan, thanks for your observations... what main futures products do you trade: a) within mainland China? b) outside mainland China? What particular Chinese futures are the best, with the most profit potential, or the worst, and why? How do you find they trade within and...
