What time today will Ben Bernanke announce his intentions today from Jackson Hole?

Anyone know what the current total storage capacity is at Cushing? I understand that in the last few years it has increased quite a bit. Also how to find out the current capacity? That it how full is it at the moment? 75%? 50%? 99%? Obviously in 2008 when WTI peaked at $147, it must...

Thanks for the info. Most useful. 20TB for one symbol? Are you sure? Do you store the data on RAID? How is that possible? If they can't see the tick data themselves then the only way would be for them to submit their strategy to you. I can see that happening ???

Suppose I build a database of tick data for many financial instruments, which over time becomes quite considerable and also frankly quite valuable. Of course I can use that data for my own purposes, but can I SELL it to others? Who owns a copyright (if any at all!) of that data? Thanks.

Just curious what the advantages are of FIX versus a broker's API? And any disadvantages?

Does anyone know of a web site that one can obtain the daily OIS-LIBOR spread? For those that do not know, it the spread between the FedFunds and LIBOR, usually about 10 basis points... except during the Lehmann Brothers collapse, when it surged to 270! Thanks!

Have it your way then :mad: I bet you got this info from this Bloomberg "terminal" or whatever! So what is this "terminal" anyway? Let me guess, a special part of the web site where you have pay a monthly subcription for so-called "premium" service??? Wow! Big deal! Sorry but I refuse to...

If you tell me I will give you MONEY! A PayPal 'donation' will be on its way to you... :p

Is it really that hard to trade convertible bonds then? For an induvidual with limited funds that is. Well the yield is 2.95% which is less than the T-Bonds for that maturity by about 1%. However there is a call option thrown in for free, so that sweetens the deal :D By the way, you...

By the way how did you find the CUSIP number? And is for those Intel bonds that mature in 2035?

Thanks! Sadly nothing comes up with that CUSIP at my broker - IB. :mad: Thanks anyway to everyone. I appreciate all your help. This is a great forum! I will find a way... it can't be that hard. I know you can buy corporate bonds for as little as $1000 or so...

I searched all of Bloomberg and no luck :( It just has stock prices - no bonds prices whatsover. Its not a nice site to navigate anyway. I don't like it personally. I much prefer Yahoo Finance...

I just found this article on the web which says:- "For example, Intel, the computer chip giant, issued a convertible bond in December 2005 that pays 2.95% a year until December 2035. Then, as now, a 2.95% rate wasn't too enticing. T-bonds yielded more. But this Intel bond can be converted...

Corporate bonds can be bought by anyone, so why are convertible bonds any different? I don't mean to be rude but I think you are mistaken. Yes it is OTC because there is no exchange for bonds. But I am taking about bonds that companies like Intel and IBM issue every few years. However the...

From what I have read, it seems that convertible bonds are just plain corporate bonds which pay interest but with built-in long term options. Is this correct? How can I buy and sell these? Are they as easy to buy/sell as options? Can you get them for all big corporations? Like Intel or...

I want to master Technical Analysis - I know it is not easy. Should I learn Elliot Wave Theory? Is this the best way to day trade? Is it hard to learn Elliot Wave Theory? Or what about Bollinger Bands? What do you recommend the best indicators for support and resistance and the best...

You mean that one day the implied volatility is like 5% and a few days later it shoots up to 20%? Is that what you mean by "Vol of Vol" :confused:

OK so you mean that currencies by nature are less volatile so you get lower implied volatilies, i.e. lower premiums. Right?

Thanks for all the info and advice.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean :confused:
