Did you watch his speech tonight, or were you the one busy hitting the pipe? He's standing up to this thing, and showing great leadership. At first I thought he was the best president since Reagan; now, I'm inclined to think best since FDR.

Good thing we have a stand-up, strong guy like T in office; a guy with the stones to stand up to the CV pandemic. Someone like Obama would have crumbled; fallen apart like a three dollar watch. Small businesses, use your low-interest loans wisely; workers, enjoy your payroll tax cuts; the rest...

Silver (and to a great extent, gold) is heavily controlled by JP Morgan. Any bet on silver really a bet on the agenda and interest of They, and how They will direct JPM to manipulate its price. It's very simple. JPM just writes (or doesn't write) silver futures contracts, messing with supply...

Then get your paperwork together, grow a pair, and schedule an appointment with a loan officer at your bank, and ask for 300k in working capital. These people are very shrewd... even if they don't sign, they will tell you why and what is missing.

:confused::wtf: Heh... you are basically talking about an unsecured loan for playing the market. You'd better have a consistent 2-5 year history of returns > 12%. A loan officer might be a little hesitant to sign... Would you cut someone a check to speculate?! :wtf: Unless your financier is...

If every trader had access to those calculations, it would basically be public news. Advantages of doing said calculations would be nullified as traders responded to projections; essentially, these calculations would be priced in. A retail trader can load market data into an array and calculate...

If you're hitting 120% returns, start a hedge fund.

Nowadays the best traders are C++ and Python algos running on multi-core CPUs in colos. Not blood, but electricity pumps through the arteries and veins of today's market. You will see a small team of seasoned vets overseeing a large group of Developers hired to write alpha-seeking code.

I can't seem to find this... Does anyone know how to view a LIBOR historical rate chart in IB TWS? Thx, Keith :^)

Yes it's a long shot... but it's now or never Bro!!! At that price it's a bargain :D

omg... it's out there...

Credit Default Swaps, my friend. I wish that I had more visibility into them; but, IB doesn't seem to offer pricing. If anyone knows where I can get some charts/prices on CDSs, I'd appreciate it.

(tapping fingers on desk, patiently waiting for an answer...) You'd think that in this type of market there would be a stampede into gold. JP Morgan manipulating the price again?

...Fed pumping money in, enabling banks to buy new issues. 1. https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/opolicy/operating_policy_200309

Gold has intrinsic value. It's in our Christmas songs, video games from Mario Brothers to Fortnite; in the Bible as the Golden Calf and other places. It was the basis for all currency as the "Gold Standard," and has entered our language as an idiom. We even have beer named after it. It's...

I think I'm going to be sick. :vomit: Screw it... let's start selling sub-prime mortgages again.

Is there any respect left for free markets? For allowing prices be based based on... wait for it... SUPPLY and DEMAND?

We really need to go back to the gold standard... or silver standard... or copper standard... or bitcoin standard... or something that's a little less shifty. This is just ridiculous. They're changing the money supply like drunken sailors.

It's like trying to build on shifting sand... I develop a reasonable thesis based on market conditions, and then 100B is randomly dumped into the market. It can be frustrating.

- The Fed is constantly messing with the currency with via monetary policy and rate changes - J.P. Morgan manipulates gold prices - Morgan Stanley manipulates LIBOR - Quantitative Easing conjures money from thin air and pumps it into the markets - Bailouts, buybacks, and other bull5#17 - Repo...
