    "Then, after arranging with another pilot to delay a flight so he could “dead-head” home in the early afternoon instead of having to wait for the next flight, he blew up at his wife for failing to appreciate the effort he had made and the stress involved." WTF? They're causing the...

    "His worth has fallen to about $4 million from a peak of about $100 million."

    Highly doubt he went from 100mm to 4mm unless his assets were incorrectly valued (mtm) in the first place. The best anti-virus and anti-spyware is free.

    ARS and BRL

    I want exposure to Argentine Pesos and Brazilian Reais (vs USD). What would be the best avenue for exposure to these currencies – CME Real futures are very illiquid, and I don’t know of anything on the ARS. Are there any index products, stocks, etc, that would be proxy for the BRL or ARS?

    Goldman Sachs and the FIX

    I wouldn't care if Goldman was MM, or a lender, or an investment bank, or any one of various categories within their conglomeration...EXCLUSIVELY... Sad fact is they're leveraging one against the other. IB/credit fucks up, they're collecting funds from the federal government to "create...

    Goldman Sachs and the FIX

    The avenue of execution is flawed. As a trader, I'm all about exploiting such inefficiencies -- after all, that's my job. There's a thin like between economics and ethics. (profit motive versus doing what's right). Personally, I don't care what GS is doing to game the system, after all...

    Goldman Sachs and the FIX

    I'm not that smart...help me out: basically GS is using a program to intercept network traffic to determine, milliseconds in advance, when other participants will be active in the electronic market by detecting changing levels and types of network traffic.... This happened a few years ago...

    traderTX: Traded for a crusher years ago. Haven't looked at meal for quite a while. I recall inversions in meal were juicy opportunities, revisiting those spreads now for my own trading. I'm in small on the Q/U but getting trampled a bit... Agree with you the deferreds look...

    Significance of "preopen"?

    I wish --- ! Traded for a crusher but spent time there as a "temp clerk." Was able to write up my orders and hand it to the broker myself. Loads of fun. Haven't been back since side-by-side started.
