    EmiNY energy switch to Clearport

    The NYMEX is the worst exchnage in the world. I find it surprising that the Eurex or CME are unwiling to list the Cl/NG/QM/QG contracts - and list them on a cash-settled basis like QM/QG.

    OSTK ceo

    I watched the interview. Both parties were not necessarily impressive. However, Byrne claims to have affidavts, evidence, a prominent law firm on his side, etc. Add that to the fact that the dynamics of the stock's float vis-avis short positions makes no sense. Plus, Herb Greeenberg...

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    Welcome cosine! Good post. You raise the issue of "information risk" which is a very key risk. I raised this issue earlier on this thread and another posted made comments that seemed to negate the validity of this risk. Care to share more on what you think about "information risk"?

    Overstock.com Fights Naked Shorting

    Is it true that Ron Insana of CNBC had a story on Naked Shorting that was not aired? Why not?

    Patrick Byrns goes crazy on CNBC

    Naked Short Selling should be illegal - it's basically a dishoenst practice. Whether Overstock is fairly valued or not or whether the CEO is sane or loony is not the issue. Why does the US govt allow Naked Short Selling in our capital markets?
