I just wrote the CFA level 1 exam since a lot of jobs I have seen posted seem to want it for investment jobs at least in Canada. I also looked at an MBA but if that is the route people want to take then make sure its from a very good school or a school that the companies you want to work for...

It does seem kind of sad how this protest is turning from being for any kind social reform to really just an attack on the rich with the parade to various homes of the rich. How is it that the government can lie and start a war that costs billions of dollars and thousands of lives and these...

Ya I like the policy, the flash crash thing seems to come up often with regards to it. People need to remember what if the next flash crash doesnt bounce back? I will be glad they have the policy

Does anyone know where to get a schedule of upcoming supply or storage type reports for all the various commodities? thanks

wow 1000:1, I love how if the spread widens even a little for some pairs your forced to liquidate

almost zero chance of that happening on a fundamental basis and probably zero based on government intervention that would stop that.

I think the charities they are involved with do a lot of things globally and in areas that the government lacks any real support for. Also even though things like basic education is free it could be improved which Gates does help with. Alot of worthy causes out there in need of financial support...
