    This should work as long as you are happy with data delayed by a fixed time interval. The timestamp on the data will be corret. The data will just arrive later. So, avoid comparing timestamp with the PC clock and you should be fine.

    Russia to Reduce US Debt Holdings- That's what happens when you print, no one wants y

    Where Russia really trails China is legal property protection. Owners of many larger businesses see it as quite probable outcome that they will not be there in a year or two. So, they are trying to make the most for themselves now. With this attitude one is not going to think of capital...

    Percent of retail contracts

    Typically people who look at this kind of problem look at small trades (just a few contracts) versus "block" trades (dozens or hundreds of contracts). Given CME no longer bundles trades that happened at the same time at the same price, the quality of such analysis must have improved. All you...

    Is there a way to keep track of IMF selling gold, etc?

    Russia to Reduce US Debt Holdings- That's what happens when you print, no one wants y

    I wrote nothing like that. You are just interpreting what I said while applying strong bias you seem to have. What I am saying is Russia didn't have budget deficit in 2001-2008 (link). Russia paid out all of the Soviet Union debt and accumulated substantial "sovereign wealth" fund. The ruling...

    Blackjack player beats 3 Atlantic City Casinos for $15.1M

    I find it more interesting that the "winner" is a high-end professional gambler. From the article: "Johnson, 49, of Bensalem, Pa., is the chief executive officer of Heritage Development LLC, a Wyoming-based company that uses computer-assisted wagering programs for horseracing."

    British opposition want VAT cut

    This would explain why Ed is not so keen on reducing personal income tax. 50% marginal top rate is not too high for Ed.

    Russia to Reduce US Debt Holdings- That's what happens when you print, no one wants y

    It all has to do with the debt ceiling in the US. Russia is actually late to the party. China has been reducing Treasury holdings for over half a year now. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-05-17/china-reduces-u-s-treasury-holdings-as-debt-ceiling-debated.html You can't. The last portion...

    Techis please Help. Want to connect TV to my Laptop.

    The laptop has enough power. Just make sure you are using the right charting software. Proper charting software makes sure it doesn't redraw a chart more frequently than, say, 10 or 60 times per second. A few charting packages redraw chart on every tick. Redrawing on every tick will bring down...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Given you can win more during a night in a casino, this kind of explains the lack of super-skilled traders.
