Thank you for the implied compliment. The tremendous proliferation of hedge funds has canibalized the game. In short, there is too many sharks at the table and not enough pigeons. At the same time, the authorities have sought to level the playing field aggressively by eliminating the old boys...

Sadly, I agree with you.

Has anyone signed up with them? Their performance looks good if believable. Let me know if anyone has any direct experience. Thanks! Neal.

Is this IPO pre-traded at Tradesports or any similar website? I saw some article alluded to IG index and Cantor Index. What is that? Kindly advise and thanks! Neal

Thanks for all the replies. I'm really only interested in the first prints in the aftermarket. I'm out the door in the first few minutes. Any color or thoughts on trades initially on the secondary market? Flat, +10%, +50%, +100%, negative? Thanks!

I hear it's coming on June 30 at about a $10 Billion valuation. Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein is the sole book-runner. Any thoughts on the aftermarket? How much does everyone think it will trade up on the open? Do you think that the possibility of regulation against US credit card issuers will...

Greenspan has been so highly regarded in so many circles that he will likely leave a very impactful legacy. I believe that many a future Fed Chairman will take a cue from Greenspan's M.O. and hence the Greenspan effect will likely be felt for many years to come. The market will likely assume...

I posted this on 5/3/05. I still stand by this: trade-ya1 Registered: Oct 2003 Posts: 762 05-03-05 06:31 AM Good thoughts. I agree. Bullish case for bonds: 1. Very strong periods of growth over last ten years (5%+ GDP) yet inflation (as measured by gov't statistics) did...

I spoke to some dealer desks out of London. Apparently, the initial headline was that the Italian Finance Minister made these comments, however, the body of the story seems to sight the Italian Wealth Minister, Rodrigo something or other and that he has always been a skeptic of the EUR. They...

Apparently it's an Italian newspaper citing the Italian Finance Minister without any direct quotes. I'm still trying to gather information. Still sketchy.

Italy Finance Minister says they should consider quitting the EUR and go back to Lira. Information is sketchy here, just heard from a deep sleep..Neal.

I strongly disagree with the original poster. Remember, if you are a "fast money" account, you eventually need to get out of what you get in to. If I bought a $1 Billion of JDSU and was forced to ulimately sell that $1 Billion of JDSU, especially in a short time-frame, I'd soon be far less than...

Hi all, I think the difference between 'buy and hold' and trend following is that buy and hold simply implies no change at all to the core position. In other words, if one is truly following a buy and hold (or sell and hold) strategy, there should be no change to the position regarless of...

I'm not calling for a bottom. Charts look ugly. I'm just suggesting that I don't think the famous big money will liquidate core dollar shorts until seeing more evidence of $ strength. I bet Buffet is happy to have Charlie Munger working with him :). People forget that Buffet is long dollars in...

Posts are disappearing because the moderator felt that Scalpz was making defamatory and libelous remarks about what he believes to be my trading p/l in the EUR. Only an idiot would think that I didn't liquidate my core long holdings long ago and at significant profit. I, like other experienced...

"I don't think it will hit your SL, MP$." From Scalpzy, I'm sure you feel better now, right Maxprofit? For me, I'm sad to say you are now doomed.

Skalpzy makes a long and short in the market and says he's going both ways. LOL. Most normal people would call that flat. This is just too funny!!! I can't look away, it's a train wreck!!

Don't worry, taking the other side of dear Skalpzy trades is about the best system anyone could dream of! The only problem is figuring out which hypothetical position he actually has. He's always talking out of both sides of his mouth and half the time he's got his longs/shorts backwards. Once I...

You're a clown Skalpz and I'd gladly take the other side of every trade you make blindly. :) ***BUSTS UP LAUGHING!***

Probably will find a bottom soon and form a range trade. Big money Buffet, Gates, et. al will not panic and will not sell into this that I am fairly certain. Charts look ugly will take some time for better clarity. Big players will not sell into a route, they will wait patiently for a stable...
