    The #1 Reason Why America will never recover

    Anyone laugh at people that believe in Aliens? Many do, think they're crackpots etc. But then you're seen as sane if you believe in God and Jesus, you know the fella who could turn water into wine, could walk on water etc.

    Why aren't there more Billionaire traders?

    They are very few billionare traders because - a) trading and making money overtime (and keeping it) is actually very very very very hard to do. b) very few people actually want to make a billion so they retire well in advance. Do you want to make a billion for example? And if so why...

    The next Ponzi to be exposed

    Always makes me laugh that one. How anyone can do business with a financial firm that doesn't list their address I just don't know. Then of course 'if' people, probably actually 'when' they lose money they try and blame everyone but themselves.

    Eurex And Liffe Fixed Income Futures Volumes Plunges Again

    Yes, if there's range then there's cash to be made. Ok, if you're 500 or 1000 up maybe it's a struggle (I'm guessing here) but if 50-100 up with E10 a tick then that's some good cash with or without last year's volume. When the bund range starts averaging 15 ticks then you have a...

    The less wealthy are all pretty much tapped out. So even if you give them a load of cash I can't see how they can spend it, instead it will just go to paying off debt.

    Detroit

    Why do Americans seem to love such large houses? Do you really need a bathroom as big as a squash court? Do you really need a drawing room slightly smaller than a tennis court? I'm all for living comfortably but 10,000sq or 20,000sq is crazy. I read that Evander Holyfield (before he went...
