It's not about "right" or "wrong," as these are subjective--your "right" may be my "wrong." It's about Freedom of Speech... and allowing all voices to be heard.

Put the shoe on the other foot: what if Obama was banned? Hillary? BLM? #metoo? Ghandi? Jesus? <insert your favorite voice here>? What would you think, and how would you feel, if that voice mportant to you was gagged and silenced? It cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand, citing their...

True... I didn't leave MySpace or Friendster either... I just don't have any confidence therein. The next generation of Social Media is upon us: one of decentralized content owned by the publisher. No surprise they triggered the uptick rule today.

Nice work, TWTR Brass... way to alienate 74,000,000 American voters overnight! Unsurprisingly, lots of whispers of moving to a new platform that can't be censored so easily. Twitter's censorship of the President of the USA was an egregious offense--a real slap in the face. Twitter was a pillar...

Imagine a big fat quant hedge fund named Amalgamated Bureaucratic Conglomerates (ABC) with hundreds of fund managers. They're all trading U.S. equities. Why can't they all just trade with each other instead of going to the exchange; that is, "cross" trades within the firm? Example: Alfred...

QFT. Let's touch base this time next year.

Nah.. they lowered rates to stoke the T economy for the election. The virus was just a façade.

I'm no Keynesian, but as I understand it, a higher interest rate makes dollars "more expensive." It discourages borrowing, and thus there is less money in circulation. This dampens inflation as the money supply decreases.

I don't want to mention the "I" word, but I do see things getting more expensive...

- This practice is done by every company out there. - Rarely if ever do they get caught. They're really not doing anything "wrong," just maximizing every tax writeoff and loophole. They have the $$ for the best accountants. - It's pretty easy to manipulate tax burden; e.g.: Hire/fire...

A company is taxed on their profits. If they declare a loss their tax burden is significantly decreased... and may be zero. That's why you see stories like below; where a multi-billion dollar company like General Electric paid no taxes at all in 2010. The law states that a company can only...

It's just a matter of time... tech is over-valued. AAPL at USD2T? Some simple math: if we assume that an iPhone costs USD1000, and divide: 2,000,000,000,000 ---------------- = 2,000,000,000 1000 That's 2B iphones!! Further assume that 2/3rds of AAPLs revenue comes from iphones...

What data structure to hold the orders?

NEXT!

Fully agree. Locking would crush my performance. Yes, I was thinking of offloading this to a separate process/core with an absolute minimum of data sent across a socket. Yeah no ASIC or FPGA just yet. For now it's C++, C, and perhaps a little assembler in hotspots. What can't I offload this...

Oh yeah? How do you reverse a string?

I have a requirement to create and maintain a ledger of orders. Thousands and of them, with many updates per second. It will operate in a high-speed environment: currently in single-digit mcs range; I'd like to see it in high nanos. - Must be thread-safe - Multiple threads and processes will be...

Heya Peeps, Do you know of a trading UI that supports basket trading? In other words, allows me to create a list of trades, and submit them as a group? Can BB do this? Thx, Keith :^)

I don't expect tick data for free, but what is the best available? Thx Keith :^)

Are you guys joking or is this a real thing?
