How about this one from FOX on Yahoo news. This was broadcast on 3-25. They are talking about the Tibet situation and the Olympic boycott, yet the screen keeps on showing the videos and pictures of Nepalese police arresting the protesters, no mention of Nepal by the anchor or label on TV...

nyxtrader, you swing big lots. I aspire to be trading like you someday.... Are you based in NYC? When do you expect your shop to be up and running? Affiliate with whom? Please PM me if you don't want to disclose the info here.

Thank you Andread. I've been wondering about the "What's in it for them" question too.

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

What is your friend's contact info? I'd like to know him. :D :D

Nice work! But how many people has that kind of capital? Your account must be at least seven-figure, right?

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...

I think the email account you have with your ISP will do.

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.

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...

yep, you're right. I just tested it. with sndrec32 you need to click on "play" to play the file. may work with another prog that plays wav file automatically as a parameter

you can put the line C:\windows\system32\sndrec32.exe "c:\program files\esignal\sounds\buzzer.wav" (you need the quotation marks) in a batch file called "alert.bat" and put in "alert.bat" at the Run this program box. pls let us know if it works. ps thanks winter for...

Wow! that's very generous of him. Being a billionaire has its fringe benefits, allowing you to do nice things like this is one of them. oh, just want to brag... :D I actually lay my fingers on Beethoven's Grosse Fuge manuscripts (covers only, with permission of course) when it was on...

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?

DT, great numbers. are you holding that BIDU and others overnight, or you go flat?

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.

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

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

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.
