It looks like people are posting their best money making ideas for 2010 in the comments section of the contest post on the dailyspec site. I will put my entry in tomorrow. (last day to enter!) Should be fun.

For those with questions, the contest is now fully explained on the http://www.dailyspeculations.com/wordpress/ web page. The start of the year can be a fruitful time to look for trend change type trading ideas. It is definitely worthwhile to set up for and generate ideas on. 2009 Bonds...

Germany was in much worse shape that he USA is. Not even close.

How would I know what the excitement level generated by the reward is? What does it matter? It is what it is. Not every analyst/investor is a centi+-millionaire who sees 5k as having zero marginal value. I figure Joel Greenblatt (who runs the site) finds it worth his while to offer...

Valueinvestorsclub is another good one, I agree. However, you have to be accepted as a member, They do not let just anyone in. That average member there is of very high caliber (Professional/Hedge fund/very serious private investor).

I do not think it makes a difference! Many here like to discuss/come up with year end predictions for the coming year. Here is a risk free contest where one can potentially win $3250 for your idea. What more needs to be said?

It looks like Mr. Niederhoffer has upped the prize to $3250!

The American worker is seeing his lifestyle demolished by the cost of living arbitrage (off-shoring of manufacturing, clerical, support, and increasingly professional jobs) on one end, and immigration (both legal end illegal) on the other. Jobs are up for Immigrants with no expectation of a...

For those who like to make predictions for the coming year, Victor Neiderhoffer, (The trader and proprietor of the very interesting, informative, and cheerful site dailyspeculations.com), has very generously created a "Market calls" contest for 2011. The person who submits the best three...

http://s3.amazonaws.com/propublica/assets/docs/picower/PicardvPicowerComplaint.pdf It appears to me there is rock solid evidence Picower was in on the fraud (Back-dated trades in brand new accounts, for example). Good insight on how the top level international financial criminals operate.

If you do not hold yourself out to the public and have 15 or fewer ciients (friends and family) you do not have to register as a CTA (If you are trading commodities). Check the NFA web site for the exact rules.

Anyone ever consider how they intended to bring this scam to a close? It seems with some planning the financial crisis would have been the perfect excuse to "wipe out" all those phony profits. The story could have been, "the huge tail event/credit crisis has devastated the even the...

Has anyone been able to dig up any dirt on Picower? I know he was an investor In biotech/Med companies, supposedly. Knowing that this is a field ripe with fraud and abuse, It made me wonder if perhaps he was a stock fraudster/pump and dump scammer. It would not surprise me if his...

Monetary manipulation is the problem, not the solution. This disconnect between savings and productive investment is itself one of the major problems of our economy. If has forced the general public to speculate in order to (attempt) earn a return, which as been a disaster. It causes...

The basic notion of the "New" theory seems to be the logical conclusion of Keynesianism when applied to a pure fiat monetary system. The conclusion seems to be that the state has more economic power (totalitarian, really) than most people realize. The misleading element is that this...

For now they are Indentured servants. When a democrat admin "forgives" the loans, they will then be indentured votes.

Folks, If the ultimate goal is to "fit in" and "be able to focus on doing "homework" then wonderful! Drug your kid up, and perhaps he will turn into the perfect little do-gooder who never questions the WHY. THen later in life when he wonders who he is or why his life is spent in obedience...

We had a few pet bunnies when I was a kid. One escaped from the cage and bred with a wild jackrabbit. Before we new it, dozens of these hybrid rabbits were all over the place, living under our barn, covering our lawn with excrement, and being a general nuisance. We had a few of these...

Ok, so that makes it 100% clear why he offed himself. He was a guilty, lying rat who could not handle the shame that would have showered upon him when this was made public in court.

I believe this is called the tyranny of the majority.
