The US system of tipping at restaurants and bars is fundamentally perverse . Staff have an incentive to retaliate for ex. by being slow or favoring customers tipping well to the detriment of those who tip average or very little. This is not good customer service. When I was in the US I found...

a meal ? I doubt any good trader is going to be interested , or maybe you have tits and a$$ ? Seriously forget about trading, you have no idea what you are getting into.

The wonderful world of negative nominal interest rates There is a looney in UK central banking circles who is advocating negative nominal interest rates. http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/3626...

Rally didn't come out of nowhere. A rally was a cinch, now this kind of rally, especially in NQ , is unusual but it's what the market does. I didn't get long and I am very pissed since I saw it coming but I decided to take a break and my main trading machine was out for repairs. Looks like a...

The OP looks sounds like an immature teenager coming right out of the 90's, daytrading stock is not where you make a career nowadays especially during a bear market. Also a word of caution: once you get into trading full time, you will never be able to get a decent job again. You will be a...

Another sheep. No we shouldn't bother to upgrade of course. I run XP pro and Win2k and Win 98. XP Pro is shit compared to Win2k. I would like to have Win 2k on all my machines, but unfortunately ahole developers don't see it that way. They have taken our lifes over. I am starting a...

Without the bailout Goldman would probably be worth a fraction of what it is now. They would have sacked a lot of people. Most of the bankers would be out of a job, shareholders would have been pretty much wiped out . Accordingly GS shareholders and employees and those of most of the other...

Who is this guy ? Maybe one day GS will go down Enron style, but probably that would coincide with the demise of the US Empire. So not about to happen very soon, plus they have the whole market to themselves now with Morgan. What are a bunch of scum !

that's cool, 100 lots ! Seems like it's a ego matter though. Or a challenge. Not motivated by rational thinking such as making more when you are right in the framework of your risk management.

Read this : http://www.cross-currents.net/charts.htm Some companies have close to twice the shares they authorized in circulation. People own shares that don't exist, what 's the deal ? How is this possible?

The Motley Fools really are fools. This "proposition" is in line with their investment advice. Totally foolish.

what 's the current EPS rating ?

Have you looked at Boursorama ? Did some research a while back and tehy seemed the best of the lot. Swissquote is Swiss obviously, that's another one. Expensive (Swiss eh) but good range of services.

Sounds great but I never heardof the company and their site is not accessible with IE 6 , freezes this computer .

OK so you trade on your interest rate outlook. One problem I see with fron end of the curve is that since it's mostly Fed and Fed expectations driven you are at the mercy of govt intervention. But recently it has been the case in the long end too. However openmarket actions are more like FX...

besides he 's always bullish on emerging, he 's profiled in the german movie "let's make money", I didn't see the movie but in a preview he's heard saying "investors are not responsible for the acts of the company they invest in ". I bet he's big on big polluters in emerging markers.

day4night, I guess one can trade ED off charts, the one I just looked at is just succession of dots , but it's day session. I am not inspired. Otherwise, you talk about sentiment, what do you look at ? I remember there were 2 or 3 indicators, that Crescenzi sometimes talk about, call to...

I don't "trade" cash (except that I would consider treasuries) I don't have the order flow and inside info for that . And yes you can adjust for all kinds of things , spend your time devising plenty of sophisticated models. The question is always, how is your trading ?

Well I don't know what you are talking about. Do you think CTA's care about convexity, do you think trend following programs care about duration ? And actually I am ignorant enough to understand that duration is pretty much worthless. It's a purely theoritical concept that gives an...

thanks Martinghoul. sjfan, probably we don't trade the same way and for the purpose of my trading duration simply means that the move will be bigger in the 30y than in the 10y. I know you must think you are the shit because you went to a good school but how is your trading? that is the question .
