It may be time for a sizable chunk of the literate world to simply agree to disagree with surf. Those that are making money with PA (and maybe a technical or two thrown in) can simply enjoy that he is wrong and, of course, enjoy the profit they produce. Continue the debate if you like but my...

Surf, when you say this sort of thing you are saying that those that claim to be profitable using price (as Al Brooks does) are simply losing money year after year yet claiming to be profitable. I think many of us would be more comfortable if in plain English you said what you seem to...

If AMZN shares decline 90% he is still a billionaire. If he wants to buy a company with a purchase price of less than 1% of his net worth and it costs him say $100 million a year to cover its losses the calculation of increased political clout is reasonable. Last week he was just another...

Overpay? The Globe may be overpriced at $71 million -- frankly, I think it might be dead and buried in five years -- but The Post is a screaming buy at $250 mil. We all know that newspapers are headed south at a rapaid rate but there are four or five that transcend the numbers given their...

To kids it can all be an adventure and if the parents keep it simple the moves while a bit tiring and sometimes expensive can be great for the entire family. I think dealmaker has it right. The exposure helps kids not only think out of the box but allows them to throw the box out with the trash.

Yes ... that's my understanding. At this point in my life I have no patience for those that want to tell me that I need to be more tolerant of others intolerance because it is their culture. I'm prepared to accept what's reasonable in any culture even if it's not my cup of tea but treating...

Ultimately that's what it always boils down to: Horses for courses. I doubt either Singapore or Dubai would suit me -- I like a bit of scale to a city -- yet I suspect six months in either would be fun. That said my wife is pretty damn adamant about not spending time in the Middle East or...

My partner and I had a business in Switzerland and actually operate in a negative interest rate environment. While we had a Swiss corporation because it was foreign owned (the two of us) in banking maters it was treated as an alien corporation. We needed to keep a modest amount of CH on hand...

My eperience is that what lies within 20 or 30 minutes by foot, subway or car is much more important than what is three hours away by air. This my be a function of being a New Yorker. We expect to have much of what we want close enough so someone can deliver it. Not knocking either place...

Why people feel the need to suggest that A is superior to B when we all know that people make (and lose) money employing A while others do the same running with B. I am a momentum guy that tends (when sanity prevails) to sit on his hands until I can hitch a ride on bigger players buying or...

Any downside to engine life?

Never traded prop but that is a very interesting observation and counter intuitive ... at least for me.

Do you pay rates for health care and retirement ON THAT INCOME?

OK ... you know best but I know a bargain when I see one. I think cmb sums it up well.

You need a COO who has done this before even if only on a small scale. Do not reinvent the wheel.

While I'm not sure it's true let's assume that it is late innings in China. With that as a given it is impossible to tell if it's the top of the seventh or the bottom of the ninth. Wait till it breaks. Wait till the clown squad gets sent in to put it back together as the PR campaign...

If you have friends, family and a happy life there pay the 20 points and don't go looking for greener grass. Everyone bitches about government but if you are lucky enough to have a rate of only 20% and reasonable first world services in a place you can warmly call home it's a fine deal.

Exactly what taxes are you trying to avoid in what jurisdiction. Sine you will have no interest or dividend income trading fuures you may not need any structure.

Clearly retail is vastly different. Just wanted to get a sense what fast is to an arb.

Nitro, at what point do you consider it low latency in your terms?
