    New Year Contest: oldschool chart - guess it right & win $20

    Pretty close. It's the upside-down chart of the S&P 500 from Google finance. You see the 2 notches on the right where he cropped out the "1400" and "1600"? Sorry to spoil the fun so early. :D

    The Wall Street Journal reports that a glitch in the mechanism that calculates the average was behind the sudden drop. “The system fell behind,” said Mike Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. The team that compiles the DJIA had noticed at about 2pm New York time that heavy trading...

    How to price a mineral mine?

    Well, how about let's assume they do not have any hedging. I am more concern with the value of those untapped mines which they hold rights to exploit. What metric would you use to price them. Those small companies could be aquisition targets because they hold those rights but not producing.

    How to price a mineral mine?

    Does anyone know how a mineral mine is valued based on reserve size and grade of ore? For example, if a mine has a reserve of 10 million tons of ore X, and ore X goes for $50.00 per ton for this particular grade. So the market value for this ore reserve is $50 x 10 million = $500M...

    China - Main index touching 8 year lows, is this the moment to enter?

    Steve, can we trade individual asian stocks through IB in the US, specically A, B & H Chinese shares & HK shares, not ADRs? I've searched IB's site several times, looks like we can't, but need to verify. If not through IB, is there a way a retail investor can buy those shares directly?

    NYT Article: In the Long Run, Sleep at Home and Invest in the Stock Market

    According to 2004 Forbes 400 list, Buffet's wealth was 41B, and Trump's 2.6B. uhmmm, 41B vs. 2.6B, I wonder where's the proof. And Trump even had more dough to start his empire than Buffet some 40 odd yrs ago. As a matter of fact, all top 10 on the Forbes list got their wealth from stocks.

    Trader P/L 2005

    Agree. I think most, if not all, of the doubters don't trade at a prop shop. If they do, they can just look at the leaderboard of the shop, or check with the risk management guys(they'll tell ya). There are guys consistently pull in between 2-5k most days of the week, sometimes nbbo's...

    You are not kidding right, Sherlock? It would fall under the "some other reason" category. It's called rounding. It's actually a glitch in the banking system: they can't pay people fractional cent. :D

    Buffet just about even with Gates.

    I guess you forgot, Gates donated $25B to his foundation a few years back. That amount was subtracted from his wealth.

    anyone use hidden orders?

    If it's a true hidden order, no one sees it, except the computer database keeping track of the order book. It will not show on the books. It will be executed last at the same price, even if entered earlier. That's the price you have to pay for not showing your hand.
