In Troy Ounces x Finesss (purity), therefore, what you pay for is Fine Troy Ounce.

Per Fine Troy Ounce, to be precise!

Thanks for the tip. I'll check into it.

Maybe the better trade is to buy major construction companies, asphalt suppliers etc as Bush & Co hand out multi-billion dollar reconstruction contracts to their friends.

IMHO, the reality probably is that esig's folks get paid every 2 weeks, so if the problems here get fixed or not doesnt really matter. Oh well. For most customers to go learn another system is a major pain in the @#$, and they wont do it. Sooner or later an easy to use competeing product will...

Call in during the problem? Wait patiently on hold to be told to sign off and sign back on? You're kidding right? I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I was trying to guess who was right and who was wrong, as I had a 10 lot position. I went with esig being wrong, as this problem has occurred...

Actually it was Qm & QG - then as esig started to catch up, the prices started flashing on esig like a runaway train, then went back to normal - it kinda sucked because for about 20 seconds, I had to think who was wrong - PATs or esig - yeah, it was esig. How come you esig guys always act...

Had a big lag on esignal yesterday when Oil moved down, esignal prices were about 60 seconds behind a price ladder. Disappointing.

Maybe you're wrong ! :D

In natural disasters, the Fed tends to inject tons of cash so everyone has money - now Bush may sell from the SPR. Without disregarding the numerous personal tragedies which have/will occur, seems like the market assessed the issue pretty well.

I dont think what you're doing is a big deal for a bank. Banks routinely qoute customers 50-100 mil deals, so you're not even a minnow for them. Maybe go get Institutional Investor or a similar magazine and see the list of major/minor players in FX and go see them. Of course its the dealers...

If I were you, I'd make sure all my docs are in order, esp with customer money, and go see JPM, GS, Lehman and even Bear Stearns. Tell them what you're trying to do, and if they wont do it, they'll refer you to someone who will. I'd even try Man and see what they say. Keep in mind, that if...

2cents - From your comments, I doubt you trade at all. Heres why - anyone with capital that size, and asking for advice here about trading it, is a fool and would never have accumulated dough like that. If you have 20 mil in capital, its simply silly to trade with 3rd rate banks. Go to Tier 1...

Sometimes large traders are legging in or out of trades and this type of activity is simply related to hedges - not outrights. GS is a very sophisticated trader and I doubt in a seasonally illiquid time they would attempt to manipulate a market as you're suggesting.

I bet with your strategy of taking 1% losses, you will be wiped out in 20 days. Send me a check for $50,000, keep the rest and technically, you will have come out ahead. If you focus on taking losses, thats all you'll do. If you're scared of the market being a bully and eating your lunch...

If you're at all serious, asking for legal advice here isnt really too smart. Go pay a lawyers fees for advice, like all mutual funds, I Banks and large traders do. Secondly, why would a trader at a large hedge fund gun anything for you unless he was getting kickbacks? Whats the deal ? You...

If the sun is shining, I put all my chips on 00 and spin the wheel.

Why screw around with a broker? Go direct to UBS, if you like them or another large bank. I'd look at Goldman and Lehman as well. But they're also not there to hand you money, so, if you nail them once too often, your spreads will widen.

Front page article in NYT today. Anyone know whats up?

If there was a real problem, the Fed wouldnt wait for everyone to come back from vacation before having a meeting.
