    Victor Niederhoffer in Vogue Magazine??

    That is a ridiculous statement that had i even invested with him I would never expect. He never did anything fraudulent and the risk to his investors they except and should not have invested with him if they did not want to risk any capital. And to the person who claimed the 50000 to 50 million...

    Sorry if this has been posted already but is there a shortage of storage for natural gas? If not the spread between the September and October contracts is massive. A lot of people buying September and selling October here?

    montey hall problem

    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but whatever. In the Montey Hall problem it is always best to switch briefcases from the one you have and the probability of success goes to 66.6% from 33.3%. I was wondering if this same principle would apply to a show like deal or no deal and if...

    $3,000 to insure ten million in Ukrainian bonds?

    Wow that is ridiculous and even $14,000 seems incredibly low. I dont understand how that ever looked like a reasonable amount considering the uncertainty that can appear even 5 years out.

    The future of the United States includes...

    As a 21 year old who will be graduating soon I guess I should give my opinion. My generation is actually becoming very apathetic towards politics. All the constant fighting between politicians that is simply to cater to specific groups or look good for the camera is getting terrible. Personally...

    dykstra declared bankruptcy.

    After reading about this man i expected him to come off a lot more intelligent than he did in this interview. After all the articles he sounds like a fraud who wanted to live a lavish lifestyle he could not afford. Also do people honestly believe he is 111-0 in the stock market? I am shocked...

    Jobless Claims

    The non farm payroll data seemed very bad to me and I was wondering how bad things seemed in the united states. For people who live in America can you really see the higher unemployment by just living there? are peoples habits changing? Also what is everyones opinion on the data and the future?

    I trade at fxcm with their micro account and I am perfectly satisfied. I have often had quotes from other sites open just to check theirs and when compared to FXCM never seen anything that would make me think I was getting scammed. Am I missing something? it seems like a great way to learn...

    possibly simple question about suncor

    I was wondering why suncors shares had not declined after the current takeover of petro canada. I was thinking it should since they are paying with stock and t 30 percent premium. Shouldn't the shares drop unless the entire market believes petro canada is worth that premium.if this was the case...

    FNM FRE , seems those scummy shorts might have been the problem

    So is the general consensus that the stocks recent run up is entirely a result of short sellers covering? is there any real chance the government wont have to come with a lot of financial support and whipe out the current shareholders?
