    Visa IPO...Overhyped?

    Given that Visa is bigger than Mastercard, you would think that VISA's price will raise to at least equal Mastercard's current market valuation.

    Top Hedge Fund on the rope

    Actually I was leaving the country for a while so I couldn't pursue the job. At the time, they definitely looked impressive something that seemed like a good opportunity if you wanted to work with a formerly elite fund.

    Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

    Not too shabby. I haven't kept up the latest tech for a while. I like the REV loader. Would be even better if it can become a virtual disk rather 8 discreet drives a la Drobo. Also the 70gb disks would be even better if you could do your own disk upgrades. I hate getting lock up with...

    Historical charts

    I have a need to pull single historical intraday charts using a datafeed like iqFeed. Surprisingly QuoteTracker and Amibroker do not have this capability. I'm talking about futures data. Can anyone suggest a fairly inexpensive tool to do this?

    Soceite Generale Kerviel's P/L chart

    You're right. Not sure what chart I was staring at the time I wrote the reply. Though you can't blame SG, the gravity of the situation probably made them not willing to guess whether or not it was gonna turn.

    Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

    My bad. RAID 1 is the mirrored version. Gotta have the backup. Too much hassle to rebuild after a crash.

    Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

    Definitely a very nice configuration. I would definitely opt for a RAID 0 setup just for added peace of mind. I've looked into an external HD RAID-0 setup with an eSata connector. Performance is just as fast but you can store your data somewhere else.

    Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

    I have heard some good things about Intel's Skulltrail motherboards. Apparently they're the latest and greatest, especially for gamers. A gamer's machine is usually the best platform since it's I/O optimized for greatest performances. So if you want the best machine, you can't go wrong...

    Soceite Generale Kerviel's P/L chart

    There was really no details about his early positions just that he did research and felt subprime was gonna take the market down. I assumed he had the same idea that GS had and had bet in the same direction. But that mid-year drawdown is sick. A lot of guys who were trading their own money...

    Boom!

    Funny you should mention Apple. My cost basis is $126. Recent weakness is a real cause of concern. I was thinking to buy some at the close in order to bring the cost basis down. It would be short term play. The other option is buying puts but I wanted a better price. The late day surge...

    Soceite Generale Kerviel's P/L chart

    SG took several days with only a senior trader to unwind the position. If you accept the fact that the unwinding was NOT the catalyst for the market tumble in January than it was a good idea that they liquidated.

    Soceite Generale Kerviel's P/L chart

    I was under the impression that he wasn't a bad trader. That he stumbled mainly because he was burdened with hiding the big gain. Obviously it was not the case especially when you look at his performance earlier in the year. It seems like he had no concept of a stop loss. In addition he...

    Hong Kong - anyone currently in HK?

    I was in HK last month. Really perfect situation for trading. US trading day starts at 10pm or so. If I could find a employment opportunity that didn't prohibt trading I wouldn't mind moving out there for a year or two.

    SEASON 2, thursday TV WALLSTREET WARRIORS

    So when the camera's rolling, he turns into a complete prick? After so many on air performances, you would think he would reflect on his assinine behaviour and adjust accordingly like any normal rational person but he keeps spewing out manure. "Chicks dig scars". Jew remarks. Mommy is a...
