I used to work for Saxon in London. Good company

only way HFT will end is if the robots kill each other off. They generate far to much in comissions for the exchange for anyone in a position of power to do anything about it

A single currency? I hope not! I think the fact everybody is so interwoven with each other's economies plays a massive part in the mess we are in now. The world economy is more like a deck of cards than ever, we are looking at a tiny country like Greece with a GDP smaller than some US...

Im no economist but i dont understand how deflation can possibly be a good thing as some of you seem to be arguing? One of the key factors that caused the banking crisis was the implosion of the housing market. I know the US has had it very bad. But here in the UK house prices are only down...

Kassz007 , i agree, im not saying the economy isnt in a mess and financial meltdowns make for great conversations. But the worst rarely happens when everyone expects it, usually comes up and bites you on the ass when you least expect. The markets where called higher and higher going into...

bearice, Been there already havent we? We know how the story ends, print more and more money and we all feel happy? But who will call the Fed's bluff first?

Looking around on these forums everybody is extremely negative. Whether its hyper-inflation, World War 3, the end of US and EU... i could go on. Im not one to claim i know better, so i am assuming the economy really is in such a desperate position and its only a matter of time before the...

Just a thought, but if you have a position the size the Chinese do its extremely hard to unwind that position without moving the price against you. I dont know how many people on this forum have ever tried getting out of a trade when your position is large relative to the size of the market...

peilthetraveler, I agree, the economy is in a dire situation and i'm sure there are some bad times ahead. But when people are talking about stocking up on Silver and Gold because global currencies will be devalued to worthlessness, Weimar Germany style hyper inflation and financial meltdown i...

Ok, well the market isnt really hysterical at the moment in terms of price movements. But people are talking about the next leg down in the market as if it is as good as guaranteed and there are some pretty hysterical opinions. I can rarely recall a time when the markets did what everyone...

hmm interesting. What happened to the S&P's? He stop making money i wonder?

Hi, I see this is an old thread but was wondering if anyone had any further news on Marty? Just seems strange that someone that was so successful and, from reading his book, seems to love putting himself in the public light to show them what he can do seems to have disappeared for at least a...

Very helpful guys. Thanks!

I read a fundamental report on the Energy markets today that reads "US refinery runs will continue to remain low (reducing crude oil demand). Could someone please explain what refinery runs are, i understand it to be the amount of oil that runs through the refining process and therefore how...

actually dont worry guys just figured it out thanks anyway

Could someone please explain to me what the issues are with daily compounding and short ETF's. And is it only an issue with shorting a normal ETF? What about going long a "short ETF" i.e one that moves inversely to the product thanks

has Jim ever spoken of when he takes profit? Im very pro Jim so am just being devil's advocate but if you say "im buying this now" and wait 10 years at some point youre going to be in the money on that position, if you have enough positions on there will always be one to talk about as a hero...

maybe the fact that these guys are open to views outside the gentlemans club that is the hedge fund industry that makes them market wizards! But still, apart from them being helpful guys, neither of them has had a record of their returns published to the publi for decades, thats why im a...

that was decent of him to reply. I actually emailed Ed Seykota once and got a reply. Good to know not everyone is up their own arse

Am interested to hear other people's views on Jim. On one hand i really like him, seems spot on with all his statements (not always his calls, he is only human after all) but the logic behind what he says always seems to fit in with what im thinking. Also you cant argue with the guys...
