    When size is a problem

    Doesn't make a difference whether or not your 5mil trade is all cash or leveraged, it is still a 5mil trade that you are trying to cross in the market. If I am taking the other side of your trade it is still the same thing to me - 5mil whether you leverage it or not.

    Taking 320K to 3.5million by Year End 2009

    If people took the time to read thru the thread rather than resorting to guerrilla posting you would see he posts a screen shot of his broker's statement (minus personal info) with balance and performance clearly illustrated. It is counter-productive to keep re-posting what has already been.

    Chinese company selling counterfeit gold

    CNBC Viewership Plunges 50% In October

    Not really an accurate indication of the "demise of CNBC" as this time last year people were glued to the financial channels to find out WTF was going on. I'd like to see the numbers compared to '07 to see if there really is a noticeable decline in viewership.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    A provision of the TARP law when passed was a re-evaluation of the costs to the taxpayers in year 5 and if the taxpayer is not repaid in full, the President will submit to Congress a "means" (i.e. tax on Wall Street) to recoup those losses. With everyone and their mother tapping TARP (Wall...
