well, in my book, this is petty larceny. what the enron traders did, or what ATT did by slamming its customers, is something to scream about.

generally, the economics of valuation are different. the price of a stock isn't necessarily tied directly to the supply of anything. a company can grow and issue and grow and issue and grow and issue, etc. etc. a futures contract has an opposite on every trade and is tied directly to the...

scam.

how do you figure the opening range for something that effectively doesn't close?

battle of the bucket shops?

What I read said clearly that "we lose blah blah percent revenues to insider trading." How much clearer can it be? They need to go into the cheese business to go with all that whine.

of course technicals work -- technicals were around way before electronic markets, dude! But it's fundamental, too -- interest rate driven. Watch the spot and see how the index works with it.

the market says, there's been some heavy covering. but do the math. he's probably short from the top (or before), and all the way down. his average cost may very well still be higher.

i dont aways agree with the Vaunted One but i think he's close (i've posted so in "housing crash" thread) and certainly hope so.

dollar index in NY is where it's at. you'll get a fair fill. you'd be surprised at who trades there. it's a wider market than imm but it's a different instrument as well, serving a different purpose. building the index yourself will take the edge out of the futures for you -- execution...

can someone lay some intro on me for measuring volatility (short time frames, if it matters)? or perhaps get me up to speed on the relevant points. it used to be the a 2 stdev's of an sample of prices, if I'm not very much mistaken...but that was a long time ago.
