I think the only conceivable way forward for the US is a complete breakdown of the current system and the status quo. Is sovereign default the way forward? Possibly. Whatever it takes to get rid of the feeble minded shameless thieves and oligarchs that are making this country poor. I had hoped...

90% of small traders fail. So fucking what? I could have told you that twenty years ago. Congrats to the Op for working that one out. & here's some news for you. HFTs are the new small traders. Less than 10% of them, like small traders, make significantly positive returns. 90% of them...

"They werent putting a gun to anyones head, they weren't making death threats or (for the most part) doing illegal activities" The first part is true. No-one put a gun to my head or that of anyone that I know. They ONLY told us that the world was going to end, specifically that there was...

I think it's absolutely hilarious that anyone thinks Bernanke is doing a good job. Everything that he touches turns to shit. I don't think it's so much a case of critiquing Bernanke but rather coming up with a genuine argument that really defends anything he has done. I have yet to hear one.

Wow!!! They are almost as good as Madoff. Very impressive...

Yawn. Isn't it about time someone in the Bahamas or Cayman Islands set up an exchange to take on the CBOT?

I thought you were kidding too DblArrow. What do you think the market maker does with his new 21k position? Sit tight and hope the market goes his way?

I don't think you've got problems with Eurex. Sounds more like a problem with your broker. I wasn't aware of any technical problems last week. Was anyone else?

yes - is Ford in a bubble?

My experiences with IT staff in the US have been quite unimpressive. Obviously this is just me but I have worked with well paid staff at a number of well known firms, some with great reputations. None have impressed me with their knowledge or abilities and even more so I have found them in...

I'm surprised that this article hasn't been picked up more in the wider media but maybe it's not in the media's interests to do this. That being said I think it's a gutless article and tells us nothing that we didn't already know inside the industry. After outlining the facts, why doesn't...

Hello again Ticktaker. What a delightful response. Thank you so much for taking an interest in me, but let me clarifiy one point. I trade my own capital. I did not ask anyone for a job, and I am not asking anyone for a job. Don't be in such a rush to jump to conclusions. So I'm a loser and I...

Ticktaker -I think that the argument that algos make the market more efficient is a joke. I didn't say that your mother was fat or a whore did I. Make an argument if you want to but there's really no need to resort to personal insults. Calm down. Don't get your knickers in a twist....

"algo's... take away inefficiencies in the market" Hilarious.

So there I was ruining the grain markets by chucking about 1 lots in the mini-corn when I should be trading the fucking eurodollars. What a perceptive insight. You must have been getting trained in profiling by the FBI while I was doing my PhD on being a whiny bitch Way to go with the...

Tell me -how exactly am I ruining the market? Keep on going with the insults big man, if it makes you feel good about yourself then knock yourself out. Isn't it amazing how brave people get behind their computer screens...

They are putting in orders that they don't want filled and they know aren't going to be filled.. You know what I mean. It's a simple enough issue. Personally I was pissed off that this manipulation wrong footed me on the open -but it's not about me. Why does the CBOT allow some clown to bid...

FWIW I made money in the grains today, not that it's relevant. Maybe I made more money than you smart arse. I just don't understand why they let people put in orders that they aren't good for. How is that not a valid complaint?

So after the news this morning, someone put the beans, corn and wheat limit bid, right up until a minute before the open. Corn and wheat finish the day negative. They never traded the limit prices. WTF do these spoof bids do for market integrity? Perhaps it's time that the employees at the...

The bearish chatter from the media is overwhelming. If cnbc are talking about a bond bubble then most likely it's safe to go long. I am a bull lacking conviction at the moment, but I think even if we do sell off there will be a few twists in the tale like a serious spike higher first. That...
