    My call for tomorrow - buy GS

    A little bird told me so. If you remember Enron ( I was 20) then look at what these banks have done, you can only wonder....GS is not worth more than USD$7.00, but thats just my humble opinion, l leave the clever stuff to people with MIT PhDs and Oxford MBA's. I am just a student of the...

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    Yes, exactly like trading, you either know how to use the material or you can't. Most can only say it does not work as they have failed or lack extra perception required to think beyond the box and situation.... :cool:

    Dax Reweighting

    Well likely to withdraw VW's ordinary shares, but then promote VW's preference shares to Dax-30 index. Am still trying to figure out full application but looks like it would happen before trading begins on Thursday, if rules are applied correctly and based on past 30 days volatility. Am tempted...

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    Thats simply an EGO issue, how many billions have done that since the start of humanity. Does the world recognise the legacy of say a man who left 5 kids in East London in 1892. Hell no, the great grandchildren probably don't even give a FUC7 !!!. If one was to drop dead today, believe me...
