    Bloomberg TV link

    Not quite. There are ads on that link (which I've had for several years), although so few, < 5/hour, that it does feel practically commercial-free.

    Film Fund

    "A-list" raising capital on a non-film message board? That's about as likely as Hollywood killing a Hollywood ending.

    Of course it is now, for US citizens and companies.

    Afraid of heights?

    $25 is really pushing it, for the privilege of walking a mere 70 ft. in from the (free) edge of the Grand Canyon. Here's the best part, I thought: "Our priority is not to overdevelop," Powskey [an Indian guide] said. "We want to kind of keep it pristine here." Nothing says "pristine"...

    Anna Nichole Smith Dead

    Try this: go over to eBay, search for "Anna Nicole Smith" and sort by "Price: highest first". How many incredibly lame domain names can you come up with, to be offered at 4, 5 and even 6 figures BIN (Buy It Now)? And searching Completed items, here's a blissfully content-free...

    Fox Biz Channel buzz is back

    I am not a fan of Glick -- way too excessive smiling, although, to be fair, that's a common occupational hazard on the boob tube -- but she is, in fact, Ivy League (Columbia). Then equity analyst at Goldman. Then trader and exec at Morgan Stanley. Looks probably never hurt anyone's career...

    Isn't that kind of, sort of important? :D Which card, and what kind of conflict?

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    Absolutely, I never trade (or even hold) spot gold on weekends, nor is that something of interest to me. I was primarily wondering whether the quotes that thebulliondesk.com was displaying could be actionable / tradable. Doesn't seem that way. Although one would suspect that Oanda itself...

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    Would you clarify that, please. Are you saying that CMC Markets allows you to enter or exit a trade in spot gold during the weekend, or not? That's all I am asking: is there any broker, besides Oanda, that offers that?

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    Tradable weekend spot... SethArb? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?... Unless someone speaks up, I'll have no choice but to continue to believe that it's limited to the big O, just like in currencies. Whatever you were looking at, SethArb, was just for giggles.

    Schlossberg Lien

    Well, I don't think you are going to find any trading "gurus" writing online commentary at FXCM. I understand Kathy Lien graduated from NYU with a BS in Finance, then spent 3 (three) years as an Associate at what was then JP Morgan, Cross Markets and FX Trading desk, trading a bit of...

    Flaws in my strategy?

    Before we start drawing fancy trade flow diagrams with circles and arrows, let's step back and take in the big picture. Your "assumed required" criterion #1 for the arb is, simply put, a crossed quote: one market maker's ask < another market maker's bid. Ignoring everything else for the...

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    You know... Oanda's price hasn't changed one cent since Friday's close, $665.60 / 668.10. That's the normal weekend spread, $2.50 (up from $0.40+ on weekdays), in effect from 3:45 pm EST sharp every Friday until late Sunday afternoon. Besides them, where else, if anywhere, is spot gold...

    Non-US broker converts USD deposit to local currency?

    That's correct and standard. Your notation is a bit off... the max position you could have is about £51.000 (not $51,000), which is equivalent to $100,000 at current GBP/USD rate of ~1.95. You are getting the full 100:1 leverage. With $1,000 account and 100:1 leverage, you can have an up...

    Goldman's "conviction" buy list

    Not a typo. Goldman has had conviction buy and sell lists (including regional ones, outside the US) for a long time. They "represent investment recommendations focused on either the size of the potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return."
