ok so why could this possibly be what the fed does... i know! mark-to-make believe inspires bank rally banks take rally to reissue massive shares +++$$$ stress tests result half of banks failed them ---$$$ but now banks claim they already raised needed money +++$$$ problem solved- hooray...

yeah, raise prices on everything, now is the prefect time to see inflation really kick in. (?!?)

out of college or w/out experience a bit older i doubt you'd find anywhere that paid a salary greater than 60k and to get that you'd have to be going to a real nice place (trading) bonuses are calculated differently everywhere, the higher your base salary the lower your bonus. i work for no...

that is what i'm trying to work on, the key is finding that right position size. i still find myself getting too much on too quickly- but then again i only started trading stocks less than a year ago, relative value bond arbitrage is my home- and we lever up a lot there so it's a whole new ball...

and we forced all the european banks to lend all of their money to eastern europe. we decided it was too safe for us we wanted you to have all the good fortune of lending to those trustworthy former ruskies

nothing like a top call from stock trad3r

i'm short from average of about 810 looking for pullback to 760 level will watch action at 840 to decide if i should take a loss

i think palladium is a great buy here - it is a catalytic trade down from platinum and was something like 650 a year ago. i own some myself

i think it is great that he did this and i hope everyone else resigns and then the losses to AIG magnify 3x and we can all rue the day we asked amatuers to unwind big positions. maybe we'd even get some good size market orders out think of all the money we'd get to make off of those fools, and...

i disagree, i thought it seemed fairly reasonable

jews just lucked into being banker's in the early days- it was actually a profession that was looked down upon by the rest of society. so don't credit (blame) the jews for their position as bankers- the rest of the world pushed it onto them. now then, one might wonder why the rest of the...

you are wrong, many edges are only exploitable with small / mid-size and big players can't take advantage of. you can easily be crowded out of those trades, and that is the opposite of the way of the turtle, and edge that in fact still exists and we haven't been able to crowd out due to it's...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/14/business/worldbusiness/14tax.html?em i had more faith in the swiss than this. a week ago there was talk of changing laws and getting revenge now they completely flip- they must be in WAY more trouble than anyone imagines to buckle on this. either that or i...

it's just as you said, generally they move in opposite directions, but sometimes they don't. i simply watch it to see if there is building pressure one way or the other, and if they start moving the same questions start asking myself if i can think of a good reason for it, if not the bond...

what about with the advent of USO and an impractical way of taking delivery (like GLD "can") there is a large basket of money everyone knows about that is forced to roll each month of stupid public money. what better way to syphon off of it than to keep a steady contango going forward? you can...

i have never averaged up and average down into every position that goes against me. it has worked well for me, but you have to make sure to have a clear stop point, for me it is a set dollar amount for the day, not the position.

my dow target is 2000 in 24 months. i have to give us some credit for computers, so we won't test the intraday low from the 87 crash. what have we really done to grow since then? trade short term profits for job shipments overseas and crippled heavy industry.

if we can get a big down day tomorrow we can have a nice "whatever you do don't buy stocks on monday" theme all day- I remember just after the last one of those there was about a 20% drop.
