Just to get you started, 2-4 million in the French Wars of Religion (necrometrics.com/pre1700a.htm), one to three million in the crusades (Robertson, John M., "A Short History of Christianity" (1902) p.278), 100,000 killed in the witch trials during the middle ages...

Then the answer is no, you don't live in London and I'm going to go further and guess you've never spend more than a day there. And yet you know better than the people who do live there 'cause you're "authentic", and they're the ones living in a "spoon fed reality". Wow! I know the education...

Where do you live that you've never had a child abuse scandal? Clearly no-where that there is a Catholic church presence...wait a minute, you're Muslim aren't you!

You live in London then? Or is it you who is spoon fed your reality?

I don't think the word violent means what you think it means? In fact your entire post is rather senseless, is it some kind of bizarre attempt to claim that I share the ignorant views of the original posters? If so it's not really working, it really paints you as a bit unhinged like the original...

My bad, Stocktracker had the unsafe comment. One would think with that background you'd be a little more respectful about who you accuse of being so sensitive they couldn't last a day on the trading floor. You obviously have an overly high opinion of floor traders as some kind of tough guys...

You continue to ignore my question, which is in and of itself an answer I guess. So for the third time: What do you consider unsafe about Monday expiry options? BTW, while you were being a tough guy in the pit I was out being a military pilot. You may or may not have had the fortitude to do...

On SSF's I'd be happy for any quote, not necessarily a tight one yet! As you mentioned it is fairly straightforward, I've thought about putting together a little group to experiment with doing it myself. If indeed there are OTC MMs you could always lay off risk there, although I'm not convinced...

You failed to answer any of my questions. We all could give two f%@ks what happened on the trading floor in your glory days. I think you made black people ride in the back of the bus and use separate drinking fountains back then too, but the world's changed. For one thing we all use this Globex...

Every year every pilot had to go back for a week in the sim, which was one of those big beasts in a gymnasium size room with giant hydraulic arms to give you full motion and an exact replica of the cockpit where all the switches and instruments worked exactly like the real thing. I want to say...

MMs don't "facilitate" anything, they take one side of a trade. A broker facilitates a trade, a MM takes a side of a trade, pretty much by definition. There are no MM on the vast majority of the SSF contracts, and if you post a limit order it won't be hit by anyone unless you're way out of...

You're confusing two completely different things, market making and selling order flow. Market making doesn't require selling order flow and is absolutely essential to a functioning market. There are certainly entities acting as market makers on Korea and Hong Kong futures markets. Payment for...

We had a saying back when I was a pilot, "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there aren't a lot of old bold pilots". You couldn't be more wrong about the role of rational, logical analysis in trading, but by all means, be bold, irrational, and illogical. "Snowflakes" like me...

First, enough with this crap about ethnic groups acting illegally without a bit of evidence, not to mention, who the hell trade weeklies with a floor broker, especially if you think they're ripping you off? You have heard of this Globex thing, yes? And they're unsafe, what do you mean? You're...

Try trading SSF to see a marketplace with no MMs.

They're just matching SPX on the Monday, they've had Wed ES options for a while and the weeklies obviously for some time. As I've pointed out a number of times, it pretty arrogant to assume that just because you don't see a strategy or have a need for a financial product doesn't mean it doesn't...

Paper trading is a very good way to tell if a strategy won't work. That's extremely valuable information, and I'm not sure why you'd give up the opportunity to determine that for free unless you're simply impatient. Where most get into trouble is assuming that it also tells you what does work...

Pretty sure we were all predicting a disaster on this since 2008/9. I know I lost some money going short interest rates until I gave up around 2012. At some point you've got to admit you just might be wrong.

The dude posted something that was false. I simply pointed out it was false.

And the military, it's 57% of the discretionary budget. Oh, I forget we need to increase that just for the sake of doing so (and I'm a retired officer).
