    UNG bankruptcy

    Thats very wrong. Should a trader always be worth something because the things he trades are worth something? There is a thing called a margin call, a bankruptcy, and a roll, all of which conspire against a trader.

    Japan Spirals into Bankruptcy?

    One of the posters is suggesting that a carry trade unwind is still in effect from the May 6 flash crash era. If this were true (and I think it is), it's possible that monetary policy gets subverted and it obviously creates these distortions in the yen (its risen because of the unwind of a...

    No more selling dope, we are gonna trade.

    I've gone all-in on a bailout, cause I've made it out, I buy junk bonds when I post bond, like Gekko. I'm really ticked off, naked and short, long on the vix, my girls got ticks from the order flow, like Timmy Sykes I chase pennies, sometimes penny stocks, and then I talk; on chat boards...

    Soros: USA is "blah", China is "phenomenal" and now runs the world

    Having read all of his books years ago, he had a certain mystique with me. But he cultivates a kind of transgression with reporters by only giving them one side of the story, with which he'll play 3- card monty with his audience and reporters. Example: months ago. ... Euro is flawed and...

    Japan Spirals into Bankruptcy?

    Most of these hedge fund guys are all inflation traders. It's like they are all running around looking to start a fire by throwing out Molotov cocktails into a pharmacy. None of them can make money in a deflationary environment, because if they did, people would clue in on the simplicity of...

    The Size of Government

    Big government doesn't just steal your money, they steal your productivity. They steal workers from the private sector who would otherwise have worked for the private sector, but are instead highly compensated public servants and contribute little, if anything to GDP. Read Vanity Fair's...

    What's the best way to visualize 4D data?

    Why not reduce it to a search problem - shortest path first should give you some optimized paths to use given the different values, instead of optimizing the actual values themselves.... If the data has a time and allocation component, this should work. This is my interpretation, but I'm...
