    Ken Griffin's Letter To Investors

    One day, just one day I'd love to read a letter from a corp that's not full of the same old tired cliches. "Hire the best" "Incredibly talenteted" "Leaders" (the most IN vogue crap of the last year) "Empower" And on and on it goes...... Everyone sounding the same and drowing in...

    Hidden billionaires

    When America has to rely on billionaires to create an extra 5-20 jobs here and there they've got more of a problem than most people think.

    Hidden billionaires

    Why would anyone want to be one? I bet most of them are pretty unhappy, as almost everyone in their lives wants something from them. Big money also produces big problems. Sure, make the money but give most of it away, surely most people can do without 5 houses etc when 1 billion people on...

    Markets on alert after (Spanish) bank bailout

    They all seem to be 'special situations' don't they. One offs no doubt. Expect more 'one offs' but of course it's never going to be the bankers fault because 'nobody could have seen it coming'. Max Keiser was funny the other day because he said Wall Street specialises in telling people...

    Too true, Lenny/Donald, there's little difference.

    I hear you Reed Hastings, I'm long Netflix

    I'd be surprised if it doesn't take out the highs again before dropping. The present price action is making it too easy on the shorts, assuming they sold in the last month.

    Gold:longest bull run in 90yrs- demand manipulation for the bulls

    I wouldn't listen to a word the World Gold Council says. I've dealt with them before and it's hard to find a more useless and pathetic organisation. Great at running up expenses, entertaining and thinking they're important I'll give them that, but anything else they do is laughable.

    Ex-Shell president: $5 a gallon by 2012

    Anyone else had it with listening to CEOs and the like. Now, they all talk like politicians which means a) they rarely speak the truth and b) their talk is always bases on an agenda.

    FCC's Takeover of the Internet

    Anyone else start to puke when Americans drone on and on about 'Freedom'? Repeat a lie often enough and the masses will believe it......

    what happened @3.55 EST DAX dropped 170 pts! did Eurex go down or only IB?

    A classic example of why trading during the xmas period is lethal. More of a crap shoot than anything else.

    -vacant-properties-in-china

    One thing people must remember about China is it's ruled by politicians and THEY ALWAYS FUCK IT UP. That's all you need to know. Timing of the bust will of course be hard but believe me China is heading for one big crash sometime over the next few years. Communist or capitalist...

    Robot wait-staff in China

    Over the next 50 years Robots are going to turn the world on its head due to job losses. Take construction as a good example. How many of those jobs can be replaced and what are the workers then going to do. It's not going to be pretty if you think about things.

    ADD/ADHD traders

    Anyone asked why it only seems to be American children that are suffering from such a massive ADD problem? I'm making an educated guess but I'd suspect over 95% of all global AHD sufferers are in the US. Why is it the rest of the world doesn't suffer from these problems? Drugging your...

    Trading Secrets For Sales. 200% returns possible.

    Are the 'trading secrets' you mention the ones the 'pros don't want you to know'? Or is it a 'little known secret' that's recently been revealed?

    ADD/ADHD traders

    The drug companies are playing a great money game (for them) with ADD. I reckon at least 75% of people taking the drugs don't need them. But there's no money in that. Better to convince people they've got a problem and of course SCARE them and their parents to boot.

    Is america bankrupt as a country?

    I don't know if it's broke but it sure is 'exceptional' :) It's totally AWESOME as well. Possibly the BEST EVER country in the history of EVERNESS. Certainly 'history was made' when God created the US. Let me here it now everyone - U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A
