    A Heads Up Moment On China

    Completely agree. The smart people in Shangahi have already started selling their properties. Those who wait for the Olympics or the WF in Shanghai in 2010 will be far too late. The realtors are in a frenzy right now cold calling home owners and that might be a sign that the top is near. Keep in...

    FAO Rearden Metal - Clinton prospects for 08

    Ron Paul's candidacy is really odd. So many thinking people from both parties seem to be attracted by what he has to say and find him to be a breath of fresh air amongst all the BS and yet it seems no one is taking him seriously, almost like he is being relegated to nader status in 2000. Why...

    When Does A Stock Market Go Down?

    Someone posted a good chart the other day with the SP in terms of gold. By that measure you wouldn't be thinking bubble at all. Price US equities in anything but teh $ and you can see that we have lost ground and are not even remotely in bubble territory, infact on a global basis US equities are...

    Just Wondering ET, Why the Anonymity?

    Certainly easier to make them. Personally I like the freedom of being able to make comments (like in the rent vs buy conversation for example or in the PL thread) without freinds and family googling my name and finding all my private info on ET :)

    I figured out way people listen to gang rap.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_music FWIW those who would condem Rap to the trash heap due to the absence of talent should stop trying to make money trading and put together a Rap album and make a mint. Look forward to watching your rich arse perform at the Grammys :)

    I figured out way people listen to gang rap.

    Music is really in the ear of the beholder. I am classically trained but can appreciate the talent involved in Rap and agree with much of what Hydro has written. It is a shame that the art form has been overshadowed by the commercialized thug aspect. This is rap and regardless of whether you...

    5 Mexican Generals plan for securing the border

    He calls one proposal "the five Mexican generals plan," his strategy to curtail undocumented immigration. That's one that gets incredulous stares. "We divide 679 miles of border into five jurisdictions," Friedman explained to the fans at the book-signing, leaving unexplained why he wouldn't...

    Hedge Funds tactics book by Richard Bookstaber

    Agree completely, I read it soon after it came out in April and was ready and waiting for the August events because of it. A very good analysis of the current market environment and its potential pitfalls. Another book that I recommend reareading is Sperandeo's second Trader Vic book...

    Neiderhoffer

    That's somewhat contradictory Atticus, as you acknowledge it is nothing new for exchanges/clearing firms to raise margin requirements as volatility increases. To make a large bet on the continuation of low volatility and not take in to account the possibility of an increase in margin...

    Neiderhoffer

    Is it just me or does the trading depicted in the article seem rather amateurish for someone in his position? I can understand a cowboy trader who is just speculating with the small agressive part of his own account trading like that but not someone trading millions of OPM? And to be giving an...

    The Old Fart Thread

    Quite right. My father is 67 and has run 3 marathons this year (all under 4hrs30mins). He sold the company he founded 32 years ago, took two years off and is now starting another company primarily to provide employment for several hundred people (the legacy he is most proud of in his first...
