I don't understand what all the fuss is over retail sales. Most of the merchandise is imported from Asia. It would actually be *good* news if sales were substantially less as that would mean less pressure on the dollar and maybe, just maybe less jobs going to foreign shores. It's really...

I get the impression that the buyers of European equities lately have been from US. With US markets closed and likely some black boxes/HFT algos shut off, European stocks take a dive on this 'news' which was already known yesterday.

Tell them to get in line of US creditors. Looooooog line.

The union guys are busy collecting unemployment benefits.

Sounds like Brazil is trying to sell something to Iran.

One day Bernanke goes ... "we have a strong dollar policy" Followed the next day and the day after by some other Fed jerk ,,,"we'll be buying all the garbage from the banks" & "we're gonna keep rates at zero" to screw all you savers & dollar holders out there! These crooks in government...

A fool & his money were parted at Harrah's. What's new?

School kids in America don't give a crap about some silly video. They only care about the latest style of Nike's imported from Indonesia and the latest Samsung phone imported from Korea and of course the latest iPod imported from China or Japan. They're too busy screwing around and their...

Would you ever deposit money with somebody who called themselves a 'bank' and only had 1 branch...at the local flea market/swap meet? That's the equivalent of a penny stock! Run like hell & don't mention that garbage here any more!!!

Maybe your friend has an "all in" price per share which already accounts for all that? Some prop shops do that.

Actually, I think it *would* be a good idea to have a .05% transaction tax. Screw the black boxes out of business for say 6 mos or a year and then start over. Who knows, maybe the Goldman crooks might even change their ways in that time too.

Maybe you can post a few charts for comparison? I actually wish I could use non-time based charts but am locked into current software that doesn't have it.

Hell yeah, I'd like to know what this "task force" will really do other than collect some fat checks?!

What the "stimulus" & other bailouts did/are doing is making some people mad as hell with this system and others are saying fuck it...why should I pay any more of my hard earned money to these crooks??? Yet others are chosing to leave the great society altogether for friendlier shores...

morganist, if I'm not mistaken, you're based in the UK, right? Why not set up a "trading operation"/ "personal hedge fund" in some place like the Bahamas, Cayman, Cyprus? No need to report that income to HMRC/IR, right?

stock777 asks about seeing a HFT algorithm/piece of code and Hershey shows some handwritten crap. Yeah, real hi-tech high frequency trading there, Jack!
