Has anyone heard anything new?

The Dark Side of the Looking Glass: the Corruption of Our Financial Markets http://www.businessjive.com/ Interesting and detailed presentation on naked short selling. Presenter is the CEO of Overstock.com Dr. Patrick Byrne Any comments/opinions as to whether or not this may be...

The DTCC implies on their website that they have been getting credit default swaps under control since 2006 and that the total size outstanding is overstated by a factor of two. http://www.dtcc.com/news/press/releases/2008/tiw.php?lpos=hp_slot2&lid=oct08_cds_misconceptions...

What if Congress passes it again? Our new President was in diapers at that time. There is nothing to prevent us from repeating mistakes in the USA. Are you writing your Congress and House Reps??? Telling your friends?

Political Suicide ??? He's locked in until 2012. Read closely Obama's words in relation to the (forced) Redistribution of assets: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Should Sen. Barack Obama win the presidency, congressional Democrats might...

Oktiri, "I care less about Obama winning than seeing the GOP humiliated, dispirited, empty, over with." Is your statement not not an equal expression of "hate" as well? Is not the GOP just another diverse culture to be respected or are pleas for respect for diversity hollow? "empty...

So when will this be decided? T

I agree on the C# comment. Compared to AMIbroker's Formula Language it blows up into 10 lines of code vs every one line in AFL. Time is money...I need a platform that lets me work on strategy not syntax errors. I have been an AMI user for years, but I tend to agree about the mission critical...

I am working on some new ideas. I checked with IQfeed and was told they don't carry spot market data for oil, gold and silver. It seems like a fair amount of web sites are carrying small charts of spot data. Can anyone recommend a supplier that can source this data? Thanks! T

That did occur to me at one point too... We need something more than wrist slapping...

The Scandinavia story is fascinating. Unquestionably EVERYONE positions themselves for their best possible outcome. There was this guy on Bloomberg today that was saying that the increase in US inventories today was bullish for oil/gasoline/distillates because of some interaction with...

I recommend Jim Rogers' "Bull in China" book. Lots of good detail and insight about the culture. 2004 ave wage US$0.64/hr 2008 ave wage US$1.25/hr You would be honking at the workplace if your salary doubled in four years too...especially with the likelyhood that it would double...

I do not trade freight derivatives, but the question from my mind is what is Iran's angle for using tankers to store oil? There is no cheaper storage than in the ground. I have been around oil fields enough to know you can slow production by rotating shutdowns and not hurt the wells at all...

My wife suggested we grind them up with politicians that have more than 5 years seniority and digest them in Iraqi acid pots as motor fuel. (I sleep at night with one eye open :^)

After 33 years I can now roll my lump sum into an IRA...but withdrawals don't get taxed at the "Long Term" capital gain rate because..."That's the rules". It sure seems to me that doubling the tax rate on my withdrawals goes a long way to diminishing the tax-deferrence benefits early on. (I am...

Here are the 2 charts...

Bulkowski responded that his quote came from a 2005 Active Trader Magazine article that linked to the 'patternsite.com' which I didn't find super helpful. I had hoped for more. T

I wholeheartedly agree with RWK on the 'respectful' approach in order to move us all ahead to the next level. I dropped an email to Thomas Bulkowski (SFO author) to see if he had access to any performance data from the same accounting firm on forex/currency futures trader performance. I will...
