    I did not have a good feeling from today's move - especially given that losers like GLG are having a big stake and have motivation to manipulate the market. Still, I will hold on my POS - I see value in the same reason as you, i.e. 75 bucks in medium term (about 9 months). I believe this is...

    Confused with IB

    that is nuts. when you are willing to buy @3.1 and somebody is willing to sell @3.1 (on offer) then 3.1 should be a clearing price!

    When it will be time for a yield curve steepner?

    when he hints that the cuts are on agenda - but I would not be surprised that it does not happen in 2007 at all unless we have an economic meltdown. It will steepen more when he says it while inflation is still relativelly high, e.g. 2%.

    Confused with IB

    mate i do not know where you swim or what you think but when you lift offer then you lift offer - full stop. No reason why you'd get a Thanksgiving discount ex post.

    Confused with IB

    To his defence IB is actually a bit special now - they recently started to allow to trade with 1c increments for any options - but I am not sure how it works when it is routed outside IB to exchange. The one thing I know is that from the end of Jan07 this will become a market standard (finally!)

    Confused with IB

    why would anybody sell you @3.05 when you bid 3.10? Make sure you spend some time papertrading before you throw other people your money....

    That weaker $ influences inflation is not hypothesizing about future but rather stating what happened in the past few years. It is not long time ago when we were all confused if the fx rate is quoted as USDEUR or EURUSD. Quite likely it will simply go on...

    u are genius! You really read between lines... :) Seriously. I don't share such a pessimism as the writer of the above article. Inflation? Yes - partly due to increased worldwide competition for limited natural resources, partly from lower $, partly from higher OER and from higher Cap.Ut...

    Greenspan debunked the gold standard?

    I loved FA Hayek - but that is 10-20 years ago when I read his works at university. I was much more libertarian at that time - but this usually evaporates as you get older (and have to feed a family). In summary - it may be a great idea but will never happen in practice....in life when you...

    Greenspan debunked the gold standard?

    agree with you - but it does not change the argument too much. metal is metal and makes the valuation base pretty stable. But you can print as much paper money as you want - which is very often a bad thing when combined with human nature....
