Ivan, all these threads are a perfect example of how "price makes news" and not vice-versa. And those who happen to be on the right side of a move, look like geniouses. Like people being long TZOO during its parabolic run-up. Or oil longs 2 months ago. Or nowadays GOOG bulls (hint: wait...

I spent some time (a few weeks) in Bill's Hotcomm room 1yr ago (Oct 04). At that time he was still "polishing" his material, so maybe things have changed in the meantime. I have heard others say he is a very good teacher (i.e. able to transfer knowledge) but I have my reservations about 2...

eSignal Eurex feed had problems and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, GAPS in its historical data. Rendering studies useless.

How long have you been having these problems? I've been having them for over 2 months. I've written quite extensively about it (see my post history).

Over the past couple of months (since late Aug05), I have been experiencing LONG delays (3-5sec or more, sometime 10+ sec) in order confirmation / cancellation. Across all futures markets (CME, CBOT, Eurex) During the same time, market data from IB updates fine. IB has been responsive in...

http://publisher.yahoo.com/ Only now -2.5yr after Google- has Yaho launched a rival service to Adsense (all those little "Ads by Google" textads you see in all kinds of Web sites, even here in ET in some forum a while ago), and it's still in Beta. The "content network" represents a very...

This is actually a very good article, worth a read. I agree on all technical points. And I fully expect G to tackle the Ebay and Paypal biz. But, the points its author makes all lead to what I've been saying all along, that G has had NO CREDIBLE COMPETITION IN ALL THESE YEARS from Y! or MS...

Some posters keep offering opinions, without the slightest effort to check their facts and understand the issues. Sparohok has made some very good comments. I've been around Inet since 1990 and have seen those shifts take place. Those who really want to understand the intricacies of the...

Where have you heard it and who would be those folks?

vhehn, I'm very aware of this marketing model. Many/most e-merchants offer this. In fact one of the biggest affiliate programme is from Amazon. Google doesn't (as policy) get involved in this game AT ALL. And it makes a distinction between "organic" results and paid ads in its SERPs. But...

Thanks, the extract from Google themselves described things very accurately and objectively. A must read IMO. On my knowledge of SE industry, I would agree with Hussman on his point about "simultaneous adoption" during the last 2-3yr. I would still expect growth, but it won't be explosive...

Maybe Hussman doesn't fully understand Google's products, but I do (at least thought so). AFAIK there is no service where "they can get a cut off every sale from anyone that uses goog to search for products or services anywhere on the net". The closest one is Froogle, which is still more...

I found Hussman's comments from a few months ago rather intriguing. And quite logical. Although I like Google very much and use it as my main SE daily(in additions to its other services like paid ads etc), at over $100bn the company looks a bit pricey. I also happen to have experience in...

Which makes YM the MOST EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC CONTRACT IN U.S.

Another aspect of the issue of artificially suppressed USD/JPY, the woes of US automakers: Statement of Mustafa Mohatarem, Ph.D., Chief Economist, General Motors, Detroit, MI Testimony Before the Full Committee of the House Committee on Ways and Means September 28, 2005 "For those who...

I'm a bit puzzled about this. How can one compute VWAP on forex markets? where -unlike e.g. SP500- the market is segmented (CME IMM futures, spot forex, OTC etc) and volume isn't available.

Chood, I appreciate your thought process, but in your funnymental analysis you're leaving out the BOJ banksters. Central bankers of BOJ are cornered rats, having printing over $200bn worth of counterfeight money for their interventions and eventually they need to close that position. So...

Wrt Yen you've mentioned, I think Yen savers have given up waiting for BOJ banksters to stop destroying the value of Yen and jumped on gold. Gold is rallying against all confetti's despite being technically overbought.

A quick note (I'll try to address some of your other points in a later message) is that IB CS has indeed shown interest in this issue and PMed me for details right after my initial post here (a couple of weeks ago). So IB is definately proactive about tracking down potential problems (good...

I got delays -ocassionally- when submitting orders to CME, CBOT and Eurex (ES, ER, YM, ZB, DAX and Bund). I think it started around Aug05. It's not related to busy times, e.g. NFP news, but even during very quiet times say 4:00am EST. Since I'm "testing the waters" lately, I'll send a limit...
