emg, your spelling and expression are quite poor. Please do yourself a favor and learn to write correct English, before running around and touting 'higher education' all the time. Otherwise, you're making a fool out of yourself. Maybe you are not a native English speaker, but this is...

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, there are some studies about professional gamblers (e.g. poker players) and even traders out there which confirm that the successful ones are mostly INTJs and some off them INTPs. However, while being an INTJ seems to be favorable for being...

Here is a bug that hasn't been fixed for quite a time, despite reporting to IB: Try this: 1. Assign a hotkey (like Ctrl-B) to the feature "Attach Bracket Orders". If you try it now, it works fine. 2. But then, use a feature which reloads/regroups the TWS windows, like loading another...

Doesn't matter, the German "president" has almost only representative functions, no real power.

def or any other IB rep who reads this... There is one thing which is really annoying about bug reports. Every time a send a bug report to customer service, and I clearly state that this is just a BUG REPORT, describing how to reproduce it step-by-step and even describing a an immediate...

Another line of defense: Use bracket orders - or at least attached stop orders.

Last time I checked, you can trade Equity Index ETFs or Futures. No need for stock picking. ;-)

Yes, Greek rumors. Meeting of Greek PM and Government going on since 10 EST at the moment. At the same time, threats from Germany that they can "live without Greece in the EU"...

Richard Dennis reached about 200 million USD in his personal account. Later he went on to manage OPM, as far as I know - with mixed success.

Another explanation would be that this date is AFTER the french elections.

Sarkozy announces 0.1 percent transaction tax from August: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jsuickTxNZB0puSKXoNjMN161N4A?docId=CNG.218bcf7fdf123da81f848acd32746026.671

Absolutely true.

Even more, it aknowledges that they don't care if private enterprises are no longer able to finance themselves. Which means that they don't care if the whole economy goes to shit if they only can expand their own power.

I bet there is a party with drugs and hookers going on inside the meeting room. No wonder they have no motivation to finish the 'talks'... :D

I think I have to throw up.

Actually the FDP got about 14% of votes at the last federal election; the 2% is a number extracted from the latest opinion polls ("Who would you vote for if there would be an election next sunday?") But German media (which has a strong left-leaning bias, about 2/3 of all journalists there are...

According to an article today in Financial Times Deutschland, banks in Germany are already preparing for migration to UK or other countries: http://www.ftd.de/unternehmen/finanzdienstleister/:boersensteuer-banken-schmieden-ausweichplaene/60154998.html

Actually, if these numbers are for real, say bye bye to France AND Europe. Such a high tax rate would most likely cause the immediate collapse of the French bond market, including the market for government bonds. A French default and a following meltdown of the whole continent would then...

Exactly. If there is no way to completely avert the introduction of an FTT, it's seond best if one country introduces it unilaterally. When it fails in a spectacular way - and it will - it will set an ugly example for the whole world to see. A G7 nation burning down their financial markets...
