    Flash Crash Update

    The funny thing is on reading that article- Does the Author suppose that by being 2 hours early to leaving the party is going to have any effect on when and under what circumstances the whole Market ("so called liquidity providers") decide to leave the party? It might get him out with the...

    Flash Crash Update

    Ya the study was done last summer I believe and they shopped their idea around. This is the first time I've seen it published in a Trade Journal... Kind of a polite way that the Hedge Fund Industry can pretend its got everyone's best interests in mind I guess.

    Good health doesn't show up in GDP. It only shows up via a bloated, overpriced health system and through the never ending sale of junk food.

    Killer Trading Movie

    Maybe he has a boss named Ping who stuck a butt plug in him while he traded... It's a nice idea though, who needs a college education from the best school when you could just pop some pharma drug... Maybe that will be America's next productivity miracle.... pharma induced productivity...

    Why would Icahn do this?

    AlgoDeal

    Ya I looked at their site last summer... the above comments are all correct. Lots of free money chasing the markets, but funnily enough, no money is chasing the strategies... kind of ironic.

    “No Way Out” of Debt Trap, Gross Says: U.S. Living Standards Doomed to Fall

    I wouldn't get too paranoid about a dollar collapse - just read Edgar Cahn's "Time dollars" or "no more throwaway people". The author offers up an interesting alternative to payment for services not denominated in dollars. Did I mention this is a form of apolitical protest as well, that doesn't...

    'Fed Officials Signal Little Need Now for Further Bond Purchases' - Bloomberg

    Look up the term "failure to deliver" and the name Rob kirby. Also, look up what Antal Fekete says about the Treasury bond Market. These two authors have very unique and disturbing views about bond Markets.

    If you can take too much vitamins. Can you take too much capitalism and get sick?

    There's a chart I saw a few times showing the % of income earned by those at the top in the US (It's basically a measure of income inequality). In 1929, the chart was at an all-time high, followed by where is was in 2007. Seems to be correlated to inevitable Market crashes. The allocation...

    What if the US Government was run by a Hedge Fund?

    Thats like saying - what if Santa was run by his reindeer, or Snow White was run by her Seven Dwarfs.... Most of those funds only exist at the behest of the FED. Its a crude metaphor because its a mixed metaphor.. Ever read Charles Hugh Smith?
