Hi TraderZones, I am not an attorney so it is likely that you know more about this subject than me. I was referring to this in my post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticybersquatting_Consumer_Protection_Act Here's an article detailing Harvard's actions...

There's a law that allows people/companies to confiscate domain names from others if the owner did not register the name in "good faith." Harvard was one of the first to use this law because someone registered their domain name and tried to sell it back to the university.

This will be the death knell for GM. Having the union as workers was bad enough but giving them the power to choose management and run the company will not work out well in the long run. Many of the union workers probably don't even know what the difference between an asset and a liability is.

He's not saying his solution is to print money but rather Bernanke's.

This shouldn't be surprising to anyone. For the past few years, Capital One has been sending credit card offers to anyone who has a pulse.

“The game isn’t over,” said Ritter, noting that such investors won’t have to draw on their retirement funds for several decades. In the meantime, they can buy shares at today’s lower prices and watch them appreciate “for 30 more years,” he said. This assumption is correct if...

1100/676.50 = about 1.62 or 62 percent return. While this guy's prediction may turn out to be true, a 62 percent swing in one year feels implausible to me. Does anyone have any stats on the largest intrayear moves?

Tide, Microsoft is moving away from charging hundreds for their software to a subscription based model. It remains to be seen if people will enbrace this new model. http://www.technologyreview.com/Wire/21041/?a=f

All of highest earners on this list are hedge fund managers who I would not consider being part of Wall Street.

BestBuy's price's are also ridiculously high compared to online retailers. I remember looking at a SD card that was 3x more expensive than the equivalent at Amazon. They need to charge a higher markup to compensate for the stores, employees, etc.. but customers are eventually going to wise up...

Money managment is just as important in my opinion. One of the easiest ways to do this is to implement a stop loss as another poster said and simply move it up along with the market.

Be careful about using excessive leverage. 100:1 leverage means that a 1% move against you will wipe out your equity. Many pairs easily move that much in a given day.

The Chinese stock market doesn't allow short selling period and it fell more than the S&P 500 last year.

I use 10-20:1 depending on the trade but how much do you use when trading the majors (EUR/USD, USD/JPY)?

I use 10-20:1 but I was wondering how much leverage others use to trade the majors (EUR/USD, USD/JPY).

Thank you Nebulous, I've always wondered how investment bank traders are any different from an individual trader. Would you happen to know what strategies investment bank traders use (scalping, etc...) to trade?

This feels like a case of the prisoner's dilemma. If every country ends up devaluing their currency, then the only thing that will benefit are hard assets.

I haven't checked but I think the price is off because of a large bid-ask spread. There seems to be no difference between the regular option and quarterly option other than the expiration date. http://www.cboe.com/Products/indexopts/quarterly_all_spec.aspx

Nebulous, could you give some insights on how the training programs to teach individuals how to trade are different at an investment bank? What techniques do they use to trade in the first place?
