And a strong dollar good for the poor? My logic: Since 40% of S&P earnings are overseas, a weaker dollar buoys stocks. Stocks are overwhelmingly owned by the top %. While a strong dollar makes it easier for the poor to get by on low wages, it makes investing for the rich less lucrative. Real...

Get a CCW. A pistol isn't worth much if it's at home when you need it. All you need is 2 references and a clean record (at-least in PA).

Anybody care to share their experience with these sites? The good, the bad and the ugly. I want to hear it all. :)

Fair enough, but what program would you recommend preforming this screen on? I'm not familiar with such software, only single data-set back-testing software. Thanks for the response. :)

Anybody?

One that tabulates the top performing stocks, over the last 1, 2, 3+ years. Most of what I've seen only tabulates YTD stock performance. Anybody know of any good ones? Willing to pay if necessary.

HFT takes advantage of people's poor comprehension of what is going on in very short periods of time to steal.

No necessarily a bad idea, but the realtors and top wealth managers around Palo Alto are the ones standing to make out.

Nothing wrong with a college education, just have to realize it has limitations. Its easier than ever in modern history to get marginalized in the current workforce, with or without BS. or BA. College is good for making connections, especially a higher level business or liberal arts school. Most...

Are you referring to block trades? Can you please explain "cross the spread out of hedging requirements"?

Nobody? Anybody successful in getting globex charts for these exotic derivatives? If so what software package and data vendor.

I am looking for data on weather derivatives liquidity. Anybody trade them on the CME? The spreads seem wide, but there are BIDs and OFFERs. It appears that valuation is very difficult and that is a roadblock preventing widespread adoption. If anybody could post a chart that would be super...

How will foreign exchange trades be settled? It seems like there is no mechanism for this. There is likely some kind of "force majure" clause in futures contracts, however what about OTC foreign exchange transactions? Is there any precedent for this happening in the foreign exchange markets?

Linkedin isnt really setup for meeting anyone besides scammers so id be cautious. You best bet may be to setup a blank check company and trade the system on your own acct. Accredited investors are going to want to see prior business success among your founders. Its hard to get taken seriously...

Well you're right it's looks like a scam. Just linked that video because it discussed family offices I didn't bother to research "HedgeFundGroup". Here's a hedge fund channel which is exceptional and highly unlikely to be a scam: http://www.youtube.com/user/OpalesqueTV

What are your thoughts in multi generational wealth transfer? If you were / are in the position to give your children large assets, would you or wouldn't you? Obligatory youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/HedgeFundGroup?feature=grec_index#p/u/9/aSaZDsasKJI

Sounds like a LTCM type bet on bonds. LTCM's bets ended up profitable, but they couldn't manage their exposure with volatility in the marketplace after Russia's default. I think it's ironic that bad bond trades seem to cause more failures of big financial players than anything. Look at Bear...

Sounds like either bankruptcy fraud or the money was never segregated in the first place. When Lehman Bros failed there was clearly alot of fraud, I remember one story where $1Bn in stock held as collateral by LEH on behalf of an institution was permanently unrecoverable.

I think the title of this thread doomed the effort: too much presumption.

Un-huh. We all know wall st guys think they are so smart but really what they are doing is shooting fish in a bucket. The people are right to be suspicious of the remunerative and secretive lines of business the financial industry "engineers".
