    22-Year-Old Fired Trainee Trader Bags $33m In 12 Months

    What you guys have to remember is a motto that many papers live by - Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. So £20m sounds a lot better than £10m and if his girlfriend is a local gal, well let's call her a model, and if he wears scruffy jeans and a tshirt let's say 'clad in...

    Get ready for your electric/gas bill to double

    I don't know where you live but I'd hazzard a guess thay 100 or 200 years ago on a similar day during June/July it was also very hot.

    How many of the 'Market Wizards' blew up?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Robert Krausz lost money through his whole trading career, if indeed he actually traded for a living. He always struck me as a system vendor, nothing more, nothing less. How he got into MW I don't know but it was probably part of his marketing plan so in that...

    Madoff Seeks Leniency at Fraud Sentencing

    I'd give him a bit of a break (he's just one of 100,001 of the financial criminals but got caught) IF he hadn't taken the charity money down. If so many people were looking to throw money at him why couldn't he of taken that and got rid of the charity money he was managing? That is...

    Is facebook really worth 10 billion?

    How true. I like the bit about 'after the first 100 emails' because that implies you'll get about 500!

    JPMorgan $29 Billion WaMu Windfall Turned Bad Loans Into Income

    You might be right, but then with all the smoke and mirror stuff going on they'll probably be booked as profits.

    Lou Dobbs on CNN - about China

    Want to know the difference between American business and Chinese? American - All they think about, and what most idiot investors get obsessed about, are the next quarter's numbers. China - They think and plan, 10, 20, maybe even 50 years for the future.

    Euro-zone official says Europe's surging jobless rate will create a social crisis

    It's simple, they've been conditioned to not think beyond tomorrow or the end of the week at the latest. So right now with stocks going up all is good, the economy is recovering and there's only blue sky ahead :)

    Obama Rips Hedge Funds

    haven't you noticed the 'rebranding' that's been quietly going on. Many hedge funds have changed to 'investment funds' :) Anything to keep the money rolling in and to stop the redemptions.....

    If you could master one strategy, which would you choose?

    One can make a fortune if they master technical failures. For example, we all know to buy/sell the market when the RSI goes to this or that level, but what happens when those signals fail? That's where the good money is.

    "Monkeys pick bottoms" Hugh Hendry defends shorting the USD

    The trouble is that 95% of people don't want that advice. They've been so short term conditioned that all they want to know is 'what goes up today' and then tomorrow 'give me another idea - what goes up today' and so on. And then they all wonder where it all went so wrong......
