Baron, can I have 'well endowed member' ? :D

Gentlemen, not only are we straying from the main topic of this thread, it is starting to get personal. May I suggest that everyone simply agrees to disagree. Or atleast, to take a pause and return to this topic some time later after we have had time to think about matters in a more...

chas, it was a blind link so I removed it. Please post correct link. Thanks.

No Chas, that was nicknamed Ginger and its final proper name is the segway: http://www.segway.com/

If you want to do a little bit of digging: http://www.occ.treas.gov/ftp/deriv/dq102.pdf Although this is last quarter info, it does state that exposure reduced from netting is 75%. This is not broken down for specific entities (so who knows if JPM gets the same benefit?). But it does...

P2, what is a trisecta? Here is the original essay: http://www.zealllc.com/commentary/monster.htm Notice that most (62%) of JPM's exposure is to interest rate derivatives. A small portion (relative) is to credit/fx risk.

rs7, thanks for posting that! It is definitely a humdinger of an article. Just wanted to point out that it is from Larry Miller (not Dennis): http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/161yaihr.asp (Dennis Miller had him on his weekly show to clear it up and to...

Well, this is the way I see it. Since it is an acronym for moving average convergence divergence, it should as all acronyms be pronounced as the letters: M A C D Do we go around and say: izm when referring to ISM numbers? . . . or do we say eybem when referring to that venerable blue chip IBM?

re fund outflows: Magellan's outflows last month were the biggest since September. If that isn't significant, I don't know what is! I think we are about to have another bear market rally that will take us around 28% higher (that's the average from past rallies). Take a look at this graph...

white, go to IB's messageboard. On their homepage its left hand corner under 'community'. They are very helpful there.

Yeah, I just can't understand why someone would pretend like that. Anywayyy....don't want to be guilty of threadjacking.

Well the guy is certainly slick but I just doubted him because he knows nothing about the financial markets, TA, etc. He referred to MACD as "mack dee".

Don't want to be a chicken little... but things aren't all that rosy in other countries in LA either. Snipers opened fire at police, in Caracas, a few days ago when the public protest against a Supreme Court ruling turned ugly. Also the state-owned oil company hasn't shipped oil to Cuba as...

An acquaintance once told me that while working as a co-op student in the IT department, he expressed some interest to be a trader and was given a position after an interview. His background is an unfinished bachelor of computer science. He trades currency and commodities as well as equity. I...

Son? or cloning experiment gone awry?

The Argentinian meltdown is infecting Brazil and Uruguay: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/newsarticle.asp?symb=&guid=%7BDDBD30EA%2DFEDC%2D42D9%2D8A97%2D47A825481D6E%7D&siteid=mktw On top of everything, O'Neil is heading over there (after saying on TV that if the IMF does help them...

Don't have the source but outflows were around $40 billion (appx the same as Sept 11 last year) Not chump change. AAII, is fully cooperating. For a graph depicting its movements pick up IBD. You'll see it is acting exactly as it did last Sept. In any case, I'm not trying to convince you of...

vvv, I think you are asking a rhetorical question. :D If by releasing such data, the firm would be helping itself gain more traders/profits, then they would. Otherwise what motivation do they have?
