That articles from 5 years back, and they still haven't fixed the problem - unbelievable. The worst is blaming a break into their system on the customer and not the thief. With their resources they can work with the FBI to catch the thieves, and recover and return the money. I'd close my...

If you know an attack is coming and you don't notify the authorities than that's wrong/unethical. But if your the first trader to read the headlines and you liquidate all of your longs and put on some shorts then its perfectly fine to profit off other people's fears and emotions cause that's...

Exactly, I remember an investigation into the short sales in the airline stocks, but I recall the sales happening several days before. I don't think its a conspiracy theory. Information arb. or inside info. is the most real and hard core edge you can have in the markets. Ane the markets move...

What a coincidence, right before 911 and the London attacks the markets are moving down as shorts are being accumulated and then right after the attacks massive short covering - profit taking. Inside information never stays inside - its just worth too much. That kind of info is worth...

yeah right, he was an extremely ugly, asexual/gay, and an annoying dipshit who would rebutt anything anyone would say he was a sophist - like every ugly, asexual, and annoying politician today:

I notice that I ususally don't get filled at the bid unless the price moves down to a lower bid in most cases. So at a bid, which orders get filled first? How are Nasdaq and listed stocks different in this regard? I also notice that if I post a higher bid, almost instantaneously other bid...

This can't be right. So the total compensation - all benefits included - for the average auto worker is about 100k a year. Thats pretty damn good.

If share-holders can sue management for make-believe numbers, then why can't share-shorters?

Reminds me of a funny story....I was trading at a firm once and one of the recruiters had just talked to a woman representing a hedge fund. He offered her a $.01/share deal - and she was just overwhelmed. She thought she was getting the absolute best deal out there and she just couldn't thank...

For all you people who are concerned about inflation, healthcare costs, outsourcing, government/trade deficit, and other Economic Armageddon scenerios. The benefits of open immigration BY MICHAEL TANNER America has always been a nation of immigrants. Thomas Jefferson...

I think Genesis has a lot of potential, but they fall short where almost every other firm falls short - poor management. No trading-related problem at any firm is unfixable. What is unfixable is the short term mentality that the managers have in thinking that the money is in the short-term and...

I love trading, but the one thing most operators in this industry fears is the sun/light...like vampires they operate in the shade. Read about the trader that lost 12 million before anyone found out about it, read about GS prop traders front running, and now prop firms that have 20k daily share...

LOL You have an MS in NOTHING Economics is about as soft a science as daytrading...lol...read that somewhere here. I have a BS in Economics and Finance, the economics part is pretty worthless. It always gets mixed up with politics and law.

LOL...make the poor poorer. Okay well actually, if you have a lot of money you can probably hire/fund some really smart guys to trade the US markets, keep the ones that are great. Even if they don't make a lot, when you convert dollars to thier home currency - I'm sure they'll be happy with...

John Henry -- The Next Blow Up?? trend following delusion shattered... Teleb -- Out of Business ??? Seykota -- Out of his mind??? I think Hank's a really good guy but for fun: guess the next headline?

Please you people who talk of capitalism might as well talk of Santa Claus cause both exist in theory and fiction only. Only a libertarian government can allow real capitalism, and we haven't had that kind of government in over a 100 years. A true libertarian/capitalist society provides for a...

yeah easy to forget that, thanks for putting it in perspective.

Disclaimer: I don't like most doctors, not all. I tend to think, like traders the majority of doctors are losers. Traders lose other people's wealth, doctors lose other people's health. Healthcare costs are ridicoulously high and rising fast. Now the primary operators in this industry are...

Yes, he expects these kinds of drawdowns and he has accounted for it and all - but I just don't think any 'system' can totally encapsulate the market and tell you what kind of drawdowns you can 'expect' - sounds like prediction, which all trend follows hate but really can't avoid at some level...

Yes, a lot of what passes for wealth and health is an illusion.
