Higher consumer debt doesn't translate into higher household networth. Consumers are finding out this simple truth the hard way now.

Has anybody had any success placing IBALGO equity buy/sell orders (VWAP, Arrival Price, TWAP or Percentage of Volume) from within the Excel API demo? This order type is not supported in the Demo Excel (yet?) and updating vanilla orders in TWS after being already placed at the exchange yields...

China has been a "leading indicator" for the rest of the world stock markets for 2+ years. If Shanghai did indeed top out for the time being I would assume we won't see the 1000 again in the SP500 for a while.

Shanghai -5.8%

The key takeaway here is INCOME GROWTH. Consumers can save more without spending less (in nominal terms) when disposable incomes grow. With the amount of slack in the US (and global) labor market it is hard to see a scenario under which employees can ask for higher salaries. Plus taxes won't...

The only German watchdogs we need are these

If you want to trade full time make sure: - you have enough capital set aside in a cash deposit to pay all monthly costs such as rent/mortgage, insurance, child support, vacation, medical bills, home repairs, car repairs, etc. (+20%, just to be on the safe side) for a minimum of 2 years...

It's an intruiging and intuitive idea, but it didn't hold up historically. Doesn't mean much for the future of course, it's just a validation of the idea into history so take this with a grain of salt. $XAU gold bug price index (doesn't include dividends) measured in EUR, 25 years from 1984 -...

There was a report that the Chinese government advised citizens to buy silver bullion as a means of "investing" and "preserving wealth". This story has been circulating for a while and is the supposed dirver behind the pop we've seen from the end of July...

haha Classic! The human brain is wired against taking losses and wants to get back to break even, even if that means holding on and adding to losing positions indefinitely.

Paulson put billions of dollars into Gold and gold miners, while at the same time buying a bunch of banks. Quite possibly these two ideas were implemented in different funds of his but to say he believes in a fixing of the system is a little far fetched IMO. I rather appears he is trying to...

And likewise, the ONLY country that will suffer hyperinflation is the USA all by themselves!!! Ireland, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Latvia, Romania, India, Iceland will all be just fine. Soft landing :cool:

I wouldn't read too much into Paulson's purchases. He operates a multitude of funds. Credit funds, arbitrage funds, value funds. In the SEC filings all these get lumped together. My bet would be that his bank stock purchases are for the "financial recovery fund". It is betting that at some...

The data feed does not matter as much as trades get executed at the exchange, not at eSignal or IBs data feed farms. IB doesn't "decide" at what price your trades get executed at. I know many people with million dollar accounts at IB and trust me, noone is concerned they're not getting fast...

You can feed eSignal real time stock/futures data into TWS if you believe IB's own data is too slow for your needs.

See the similarities?

I can't wait to see the EUR numbers numbers for Q1/Q2 2010! Right now they're piggypacking off global stimulus spending. What is going to help the German export machine once the demand for exports tapers off?

Probably the best blog I can think of for Macro Analysis. Together with Rosenberg's daily musings it's an unbeatable combo. I wouldn't look to neither for tradable calls. Just some analytic underpinnings on what to make of the data that is out there.

You're obviously suffering from a severe trauma or delusion. The ONLY one in this entire thread who is a) ignorant b) hiding behind the computer screen insulting 10 people a day c) threatening people d) telling people what they may comment on is YOU! BIG SHOCKER you don't trade...

Maybe it's something else hurting her bottom, and she's had enough :cool:
