You're right, it was probably just some gangbanger. BUT, BUT, BUT the riot was very significant I believe and it's going to be one of many happening all around the western world over the coming years. The youth are slowly starting to realise what's happening (economic wise) and how they've...

Anyone got an idea what German Bunds might do?

It could very well happen. But then what happens to the price of Gold shares? How about 20% down? Sadly, that's only half a joke it could happen.

Cicero said something like if you can't win the argument, attack the person.

Funny. But sort of true at the same time.

With DMA CFDs the order is done on the cash market then converted to a CFD. So if 2 traders bought 1000 VOD, one buying the shares and the other a CFD trade they'd both be filled at the same price and you'd see 2000 shares go through the exchange. It's as simple as that.

GDP is going to crater anyway, the game is over. See this excellent post for reasons - http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220511&perpage=6&pagenumber=2

Why not keep changing brokers every 3-4 months. Brokers have seen 1001 clients get lucky from the beginning and then lose it all. So the OP would just be another 'lucky new client' to start with. But say you stay for a year and keep posting great results then the broker might get...

Too true. You can actually have shit results but still make a fortune with managed money via your marketing.

Believe me, Switzerland is the most corrupt country on earth. Ever looked into the Jewish/Nazi problem? Have you seen how hard the Jews have had to fight to get back what rightfully belongs to them? But the Swiss just block them and keep blocking them all supported by their legal system...

Switzerland is also probably the most corrupt country on the planet. How many billions have their banks laundered and had on deposit over the last 100 years? Basically the banks have no shame and will do business with anyone from murderous african dictators to corrupt south american...

LTCM didn't blow up so to speak, they got blown up. Goldmans and others were their prime brokers so knew their positions. When vol started to rise due to the Asian crisis the street smelled blood with LTCM via their positions (remember, they knew what they were). So Goldmans, as nice...

You're generally a nobody in today's world if you can't speak English. Chinese is for people in China only (or Chinatowns around the world). English is the language of business, entertainment, sport, fashion, politics and so on.

Excellent point that one. Here's an idea, on Friday afternoon write up a sheet entitled 'What I Learnt This Week". Then read that 2-3 times a week, so in 4 weeks you'll be reading 4 sheets of paper, 8 weeks it will be 8 etc. Doing that really helped me and it highlighted reoccurring...

Love it!

Why's that DDT? I would think that market orders on a very liquid market like FX (assuming your orders aren't massive) woulnd't be a problem at all, same with stops (turning into a mkt order) unless over some big time news or figures. I'm no way suggesting you're wrong, but what is wrong...

Too true, there's far to much potential profit and investment (for the current incumbent energy companies) to have that all ruined. Big business, and there's no bigger business that big oil can play very dirty.

Yes, but who's to say that 'money' won't again win over objectivity? The whole system is rotten to the core, the US, Europe, Far East - everyone in the financial markets has a price to look the other way. And who loses anyway with the corrupt ratings, not the banks. It's the investors...

The Fed always reminds me of that great line in the move 'Die Hard' where the excellent German Freedom Fighter (Alan Rickman) has it all planned. He knows just how bumbling the US Government is in the form of the FBI and says something like - "Gentlemen, I give you the FBI" Same with...

Regulation + derivatives + Big Banks = One big joke Sure, they might pretend they're regulated (mug institutional clients will believe them) and the regulators might pretend they're doing their job rather than jacking off to porn but money and power these days always wins over what's right...
