    Can't eat gold

    how much do people pay for trading schools?

    well if you started with 10k and your cost of living was 0$ that'd be true- but if you looked at it more realistically and said well when i started trading i traded someone else's money (my cut 50% of profits) and then paid taxes (down to 35%) and then paid for my cost of living for the first 5...

    how much do people pay for trading schools?

    my friend wants to start a trading school with me, and i'm wondering if anyone has any idea how much people would pay to go to these? i'm a yield curve spreader that has averaged over 100% returns per year for the last 6.5 years, so it was never something that really interested me because i...

    market data fees for "professional customer"

    for me i'm considered a professional because i became a member for lower transaction fees. those lower transaction costs (about 50 cents roundtrip per treasury futures contract roundtrip) far outweigh any surcharges on data.

    HFT is Killing the EMini

    maybe it is different in the stock markets- but saying that is the case in the futures is just a load of crap. i know when i click with 300 zn's and there is an offer of 297 i get all 297 and end up with a bid for 3- maybe if you try and click with 3 100 times it might not work, but one...

    'Floored' the movie free online

    i think the only people who got their livelihoods taken away were the bad traders that simply followed the "well he bought so i should buy too strategy" copying known profitable traders. i don't feel bad for someone who had a copycat strategy not being able to keep up- anyone with a winning...

    Gold is finished

    gold will be 3k+ next year after we find out about QE3 and watch our paper money fade away. silver will eventually hit less than 6:1 in price ratio with gold though once people start recognizing that it too is money.

    S&P will downgrade USA anyway even if there is a deal?

    269.30675 bil is the average deficit under bush 1203.75 bil / yr is the average under obama so far, and does not count his projections going forwards which are equally outrageous (http://www.davemanuel.com/history-of-deficits-and-surpluses-in-the-united-states.php) debt crisis = all...

    S&P will downgrade USA anyway even if there is a deal?

    obama has already put us further into debt than bush did in his entire 8 year span- and his aspirations will double the entire debt yet again in the near future. get your head out of your ass, our debt problem is 90% obama's and 10% prior presidents all added together.

    Are they cutting the debt or the deficit?
