All of these countries will need to be refinanced multiple times over the coming years. And as the inadequacies of each round become obvious the doubts about Spain and Italy will increase. Confidence is a delicate asset and Martin is correct: It takes huge money to backstop the larger...

When dealing with an introducing broker your counter party is always the clearing firm behind him ... in this case Crossland. That is where your funds are wired and that is the firm responsible for segregation -- a more complicated issue than it appears on first glance -- and that is where your...

I would like to have respect for most of the choices I make on a daily basis.

Trade size that fits for your bank and as vol increases cut your size. Yeah, nuclear war may take you out but lesser black swans should be opportunities not problems if you are using the best of all hedges -- minimum greed.

Sorry for doing such a bad job of describing this. It is a desktop and I replaced my logitech wireless mouse with a logitech wired mouse -- no help. It is maddening!

Thanks all for your suggestions but nothing has worked. Reinstalled XP and started fro scratch. Problem remains. Any last ditch suggestions before I shop for a replacement?

Should have made it clear: I have tried both wired and unwired.

My cursor moves on its own. It simply moves all over the page, chart ... whatever. I have switched my mouse and am dealing with a clean computer. Any thoughts?

There are no free lunches and damn few that are edible even when you pay. I am a trader who after a few years is starting to make small amounts. The weeks I do not earn my peanuts (and I mean really small amounts) I generally break even and am putting in one profitable month after another...

Rule One -- never deal with these clowns personally. Get an accountant that knows how to stand up to unreasonable requsts and refuse. It really does pay to put the ball back in their court by simply having a professional -- NOT YOU, NEVER YOU! -- tell them no.

It will revolves around the chess game that leads up to the default. Those who play the end game the best will succeed in letting the weight fall on the other side. That said, I think the odds of an actual default are no higher than 1%. A deal will be done to kick the can down the road.

Keep your powder dry. Your chance is coming but do not step in front of the train.

You are probably going to need employment. Sit down -- maybe even with family and/or friends -- and figure out what type of work you have the best chance of getting. And ignore the comics in this thread. Their words mean little. Only your decisions have meaning. Make wise ones.

Rather than discuss what you can expect -- the range from a large negative to a small positive is huge -- why not focus on a reasonable goal? Unless you have a strategy that you think can produce 30 points a month and then as you begin to execute it flawlessly 40 + points you should probably...

Good point.

How is it possible that this gets so little play in the press? This is the rough equivalent of Citibank being bailed out. And before you say they were at least remember it was at least covered in the press.

I won't even mention how small the size I trade in is but suffice to say I hope to trade my first 5 lot in 2012. Yet I think my volume is not relevant to my comment. It seems to me that to say that the Euro and Cable are "not quite as liquid as ES" is the understatement of the decade...

The concepts you express here are mutually exclusive.

bearmountain's advice is spot on. This is a constant dilemma that will be resolved most often with PA. Nothing else will get you as high closer (or even as close) to the truth.

The Euro vs the dollar. The most active of the currencies and very liquid during your working day.
