Filled at 32 at the close! :eek: Sold a small investment position, but you did give me the idea.

I also am a little skeptical about the ability to move the market with $10mm. However, he said $10mm in capital, not "$10mm." That could mean $100mm or $1bil in stock depending on leverage. In fact, I think he specifically mentioned futures. What people seem to be overlooking is that if a...

I don't understand this statement. Wouldn't you rather pay 10% on a 401k loan (paying interest to yourself) than borrow at 1% from a bank?

If you liked seeing the CFO purchase 50,000 shares (March 19)then you must really love seeing the CEO exercise options on 940,000 shares 2 days later, March 21! (If I read this right) http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=GSS (Actually, it looks like the CFO was frontrunning the CEO! :D )

I was amused to see a short article touting Tradestation (TRAD). The thought of all these tradestation customers using tradestation to daytrade tradestation stock! :D

This guy is supposed to be a plain speaker? I long for the good old days of Greenspeak. This is how the Fed used to convey their bias: That is clearly a tightening bias. Then on Dec 19 2000 they switched, and let us know with plain language: Easing bias, right? But now we get...

Nice article. Too bad the Bankok Post only keeps their articles online for one day! I had to dig pretty deep to find the article in a cached page. I would like to see the Fed do a study to determine to what extent low global rates (Primarily Yen, but also Euro) are responsible for keeping...

I put an order in this morning to sell T at 37.45. Stepped away from the market in the afternoon and noted the poor close and didn't even realize until tonight that I got executed near the close with the Dow down 200 points. (This wasn't a trading position, in fact was originally an...

press release from the US Attorney's office. This scheme was going on since when? 2001? http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/nys/pressreleases/March07/ubsinsidertradingpr.pdf OK, we know this is "big" by little guy standards, but how do we know that this is "One of the Biggest' ? It is...

Short answer is no. (No, as in I don't know of one. Can't swear it doesn't exist) I am familiar with what bloomberg provides. How much data do you need and what would you do with it? Do you want (like bbg provides) a list of all the deliverable issues, their basis and implied repo...

I am going to start doing some futures trading from home, for my own account. Mostly CBOT financials, which I have been trading for 20+ years at a dealer. I am wondering who to open an account with. I need some charting capability. Low cost is definitely a priority. I would like something...

Greenspan! I heard some complaining on CNBC about Greenspan blabbing about a recession.

and good call X2. You have my attention. Many were negative after Thursday's down day.

Thanks for the link. I ordered the book immediately and am enjoying it immensely! :)

I prefer "risk manager" (hopefully true) or "money manager" (also hopefully true)

Maybe I should have registered as "FormerMasteroftheUniverse" instead

Not the single best book ever, but recommended in another thread, I immediately bought and am currently enjoying: Fooled by Randomness

"amass" as in personal compensation? $500mm is only 3.3% of $15billion.
