This makes zero sense to me. If I owned an exchange I'd want as much traffic, as you put it, as possible. Many brokers hold limit orders away from the inside bid and ask on their servers, but it must be for another reason. Do some exchanges charge for order cancellation? -- which is a type of...

This makes no sense. DNA's order was a limit order at the bid. It could be hit by the Ask dropping or a Mkt sell order large enough to exhaust the queue down to DNA's resting buy order. "Liquidity-removing" and "Liquidity Taking" are the same thing. (Or am I wrong? But this is the way I...

Yes, he's extremely sleepy, and on the rare occasion he makes a brief public appearance in his pajamas he has to be held up by two nurses, one on either side. He sleeps until noon, has a light lunch of cottage cheese and a banana, then goes back to bed for a nap until Wrestling comes on the...

They don't claim they are similar. They claim they are the same.

What did they die of a heart attack at age 99? :D Young man. Here is some friendly advice. Sign up for a basic statistics class at your local university.

Indeed, I've seen the same problems in private industry. Particulary, it seems, when the funding source is government. Then, I think these problems are even worse. Our most Socialist institutions are all military related and includes the VA, Again the corruption and waste is quite likely as...

All water is radioactive!!!! You've heard of Tritium, no doubt. Its a naturally occurring isotope of Hydrogen. I's a beta emitter (electrons). Normal drinking water counts will be in the picocuries per liter. If all of the nuclear waste produced so far by man (the majority of it is military...

Yet you, of all people, would benefit, as "the Fat, Orange One" would say, "Tremendously," by sticking your nose in this one, "Central Banking 101" by Joseph J Wang.

I have heard my Economist Mentor, criticize the economics of the mid twentieth Century as having be taken over by would be applied mathematicians, much to the detriment of Economics, which is a branch of Social Science. Something I am in the mood to mention that most of us do not know...

Perhaps his name is a misnomer. Should it have been von "Misses"? His thinking does properly present that of the 19th Century however, and as such I could recommend it to those interested in the history of economics, or those who want to return to the 19th Century.

Good if you're interested in 19th Century economics or if perhaps you are a caveman trying to survive in the 21st century.

Though Afghanistan does appear, as you say, way too complicated for democracy; yet, as more information surfaces we Americans at home are getting a clearer picture of the events leading up to troop withdrawal. It would appear that the situation in this regard, at least, is less clouded than it...

I would ask you to consider the alternative. Do you want to save for a lifetime to be able to buy your own home? To start a business? Well maybe you wouldn't have to , you always have the option of being born to rich parents.

I have to respectfully disagree here... There seems to me a fundamental difference. In the case of the auto industries, -- we didn't do much for Ford because they had arranged for big credit lines before the financial crisis hit -- we did rescue GM by agreeing to take stock in return for...

Yes, THANK YOU!

I don't think anyone is suggesting subsidizing the coal industry directly, except of course those congressmen from steel or coal producing states. The rational thing to do is to support miners directly, the ones put out of work, and provide opportunity for re-training in other industries. In a...

Coal is still needed by for steel production (Its the reducing agent, in the form of coke, in conversion of iron oxides to iron metal). U.S. production, peaked in the early 1970s. recently it has been rising again. U.S. production is still less than in the peak years. ~95 Million tons...

Productivity in "Z" collapsed after its farms were nationalized. Neither "Z" nor "Arg" could print their way out of trouble. They both had insufficient productivity to match the money they printed. "Arg" had to issue debt denominated in dollars. Don't know about "V". My suspicion is it has to...

Modern western Economies run on fractional reserve banking; thus credit is the biggest component of the circulating money supply. Deflation results in real interest rates rising. Therefore inflation is intolerable in any economy that runs on credit.

You don't know what you are posting about. Yes, you can prevent inflation so long as you can rigorously stick to gold standard at fixed exchange rate. But you won't be able to do that. Even if you could pull that off, you'd end up with something much worse than mild inflation. You'll...
