    FT: Oil’s volatility energises physical traders

    Anyone care to comment: http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1297235340.php My only comment in reading this (I don't trade oil) is that is it possible that this recent alteration in the relationship of WTI to Brent could be from a blowup in large traders hedges?

    Now facebook worth 30% or $15B more than just weeks before!! HA! Anyone believe this!

    <b>BOOKFACE</b> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQeXEYsPOZI Also kind of ironic with the name "book" given that how many actual books does the average American read each year? I suppose surfing <b>FACEBOOK</b> makes them feel that much more literate.

    Unionomics

    Hospitals in Canada are the same way - After a recent surgery of a relative, they spent the whole time informing us of tasks that they could not do - removing overflowing garbage from the premises, pushing patients down the halls - as not enough orderlies were available (so highly paid doctors...

    Why Trade When You Can Trade?

    I have a trade. It's a cruel mistress. I had a bond trade in April 2010, ran it to August, made 12x my money. I made more on that trade than I made in my trade (structural steel drafting) for 3 mths..... Obviously we all need a job to survive, but these kinds of payoffs definitely alter...

    Has anyone tried Turtle methodology intraday? (here are the rules)

    You obviously don't understand trend following if you are looking for trends in mean reverting time frames. Ed Seykota had a post on his Trading Tribe site saying you could trend trade all the way to single bursts of light if you wanted to. Mind you, the transaction costs would eat the profits.

    Hired Talent: What are the Costs and Risks?

    Amibroker is fine for playing around. But I found the route to code to IB was a mess and vowed to never go that route. But you'll find that there is a huge barrier of entry into HFT when you go to choose the software, data and API you connect to. A lot of the better brokers wouldnt go near...

    Sharpe Ratio Benchmark?

    sharpe ratio is by definition: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sharperatio.asp But you're question is dependent on the time horizon of your trades. I would just take the average holding period time for the systems and tie that as your risk free rate - so if you borrow margin at .25%...

    Pimco’s Bill Gross: USA is Giant ‘Ponzi’ Scheme

    Agreed. They could do this for a period of 20 years, if Japan is any indicator of what can go wrong, courtesy a balance sheet recession, an entire banking industry under water... and the pure mathematics of aging versus real growth prospects offers us a glimpse at what lies ahead.

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    Well, the rules of trading might be the same over time, but the game keeps changing, enough to drag new fools into the game that act in predictable manners over the long haul. In the short term, the crowd wins and loses together. In the long term, the lone trader is the victor.

    Article shows that Wal-Mart makes neighborhoods poorer where it opens

    Buffet will buy U.S. Steel (X)

    Margins are about to be squeezed globally. Look out below. I warned ET and a fellow poster in particular on here named James Altucher in April 2010 steel stocks would sell-off. Same thing is going to happen March - April 2011.... Good Luck... and watch out below.

    Chinese use ETF GLD to bypass limits, Chinese government tells people buy gold.

    Surprising given that Kingworldnews had a guy on his show who visited a Canadian bullion bank, I think Scotia Mocatta and he said he was in the vaults and there was a couple thousand ounces of Gold and Silver bars and that was it... I think these ETFs are just scams to manipulate the price...
