    Butterfly Meltdown Signal

    Just a typo, says ltcm '98 in next sentence. It was written by refco debt futures research analyst, Lara Akin. I should think the 30yr reissue is being priced in to some extent already, the analysis was only done two days ago. Quite a thought provoking article

    Apparently he wants a billion euros for the patent and whinges if he doesn't get what he wants on the roundtrips he'll close down tt worldwide and sit on the patent. He sounds like a big baby thretening to hold his breath and have a tantrum if he can't have it is way. :mad:

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    Here's alive demo of how it works - it's childs play. The patent is only on the static price ladder in the centre so refco pro is the same but the ladder slowly drifts up and down the screen getting around the patent. All prop guys will convert by may 17th...

    Trading in Dubai

    Read doublechin's entry, they have an exclusion zone, you don't need a citizen partner. The reason they have no tax (apart for oil companies) according to the government website is because "it is against our culture and tradition to tax our people" it's all covered by the oil. Thanks for...

    Trading in Dubai

    I lived in the Sultanate of Oman for a few years and loved it. Dubai's really taken off recently. It sure beats london when you can go for a swim in the sea before the open and outgoings are so much less in terms of rent etc. I know some lawyer friends out there and they love it, it has to be...
