    Algorithmic Trading

    truly efficient markets will be better for all human beings on a global scale. it's esoteric regulatory inequities and manipulative ways of generating credit that have allowed us to export war for the last 40 years (or vice versa?) as a means to sustain the appearance of status quo without...

    Nikkei 225

    tradestation needs to get with it and start offering global connectivity. its starting to piss me off that all the foreign mkts i watch are either etf's or cme offerings ala @NIY. the one poster's experience with the index and etf data being utterly out of whack doesn't surprise me in the...

    Get Ready to Short a Gold Stock!

    good reply. the only question coming to mind wrt gold in the 800's is, what's wrong with a potential 91% gain? my @GC.P chart shows cbot pit gold peaking at 1529.40 in January, 1980. personally, the specific appeal of metal is its exponentiality and the fundamentally straight forward...

    What is a Dollar?

    really excellent comments from everybody. i'm pretty new to the subject so just appreciating listening and taking in all of your ideas. the founders of the country were unanimous against fiat money. so what happened? maybe this is more of a cultural or biological question than an economic one.

    Algo-traders/Execs are rockin...

    it's funny you mention feedback, because that's the exact metaphor i've been pondering wrt the credit creation. no army of quants can program a fancy high freq mm bot to realize that it's hastening the collapse of the money it's predicated on. seems like best they can do is slow it to a...
