    Oil supply what's the real situation?

    According to the Economist , the world's proven oil reserves stand at just under 1.19 trillion barrels. Over 60% of this oil is in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia holds sway over 262.7 billion barrels of oil or 22% of proven reserves, by far the biggest share held by one country. But at its...

    Trading in Thailand

    I haven't actually used it yet, but its something I'm looking into for my new house where there is no telephone available. If you are living in Bangkok there are probably better options. However Bangkok is not a pleasant place to live....:(

    Quotes for precious metals

    The prices for gold, silver and platinum seem to be substantially different (>2%) depending on whether you believe oanda.com or kitco. Both the min & max prices and also the bid & ask are different. Who is right? :confused:

    Trading in Thailand

    You could also look at Shin's Ipstar satellite; you get 11 mbps on the forward link and up to four mbps on the return link. Around 15,000 baht to setup but it has the advantage that you can use it anywhere - up country for example.

    Windows XP

    I upgraded to XP yesterday , and my advice to anyone thinking of doing so is: don't:mad: I had to buy a new modem because the old one was incompatible with XP, my PC works slower, there are no discernable advantages. Unless you want to do a lot of work with multimedia, the best operating...

    11 March

    On March 11 1870, Louis Bachelier, the father of mathematical finance was born. By using Brownian motion to describe the trajectories of stocks and shares, he probably came closer than anyone before or since to create a model of price movements that actually works. Perhaps the trading...

    Sen. John Kerry leads President Bush in a new poll.

    Kerry will win. The taller candidate has won ten of the 13 presidential elections since World War II (and that's if you call five-foot-eleven-inch George W. Bush the "winner" over six-foot-one-inch Al Gore, who got more votes). Kerry is 6' 4".

    Security of online brokers

    Suppose your email account is hacked? The hackers could intercept the confirmations. In theory. I'm coming to the conclusion that that sentence is an oxymoron. I would be happier if the brokers were to say: "We are so confident that it can't be hacked that if anyone succeeded in doing so we...

    Security of online brokers

    There have been threads on this forum already about members who have had their accounts hacked; fortunately they didn't lose any money, but I've lost quite a lot of sleep thinking about it. Everytime I login I'm expecting to see my account cleaned out. I've been hacked a couple of times. Once...

    The problem would be trusting the person you were buying from. If you buy from a reputable dealer you can be sure of what you are getting.

    Covered Call writing

    Pricing of options is as efficient as shares and over time I don't think you make any more (or lose any less) than by owning the underlying. In addition you have transaction charges and possible losses on the bid/offer spread if you are selling options with low liquidity. It might have...
