    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    How about that NFLX? Up 8% on some analyst target of 160. I can't figure which one of these has the most dumb money in it, Netflix or Apple.

    Head Trader Of World's 4th Largest Hedge Fund Caught In HFT Frontrunning Scandal

    Large corporations use the legal system to economically destroy small individual defendants all the time! Your measure of respect is that they didn't resort to mob violence to solve the "problem?" Not using illegal oppression is a base level of moral approach to problem solving, it doesn't...

    SGX A50 Index future

    For obvious reasons I'm not trading this as much anymore. The Chinese govt, much like the US govt with it's markets, has succeeded in removing any balls this thing still had. Volatility is significantly lower and you might as well just wait for the right moment to go long. In short (ha!), just...

The thing is, we probably do not want one exchange to have a monopoly on everything, particularly CME. I'm a believer in diversity and competition (but...

    CME Group and FTSE Russell to Offer Leading Index Derivatives

    Couple thoughts: 1. Focus on your core products and try to do those well. 2. What's up with exchanges constantly trying to poach each other's products when it rarely works out? Volume doesn't just get up and move. 3. We already have Russell and FTSE A50 futures. Unless volume decides to get up...

    Monitors....what do you Really Need?

    Well I do intend to use apple apps for general everyday stuff. I don't need windows to run mail and use chrome specifically. Also this isn't just Apple's brand of IPS, its a 5k screen (not 4k). The only one you'll find selling that is Dell, and it most likely the same screen and priced...
