Yep, someone has finally come out and said that Bernanke is a complete academic buffoon and a spineless Wall St poodle. Panick he did when the market went down on SG news for example. Did we see The ECB or BoJ cutting rates just because the banks and rich Republican donors stood to lose...

...........having previously categorically stated that overseas revenues would make up for the shortfall in domestic revenues, or did they say that just so that certain people could get out of their positions?

Non institutional pricing. Around 1000 stocks limit for some due to inherent or data feed restrictions. Server side e.g IB, Tradeideas use less resources, Worden apparently uses little bandwidth. Configureable Radarscreen (XL?) Neoticker Worden Block with Tick Server (7093 stocks i.e. all...

Oanda Practice Account.

My experience with brokers and data vendors is that often this is the ONLY way that I can get action. I try the official channel first, and if there is no response within a (genuinely) reasonable time I go public. Going public works better than staying private where you can be, and frequently...

My heart bleeds for them, the poor, poor banks.

Ok thanks, the fact that the positions are spreads may also count for something, but it seems he was not a bona fide hedger, and as for financial standing.................

Somebody impotant (i.e. a member of your New Aristocracy) probably holds FRE shares. As for the people, let them eat cake.

Agree, SEC should crack down on these fact mongers. There is a risk of a distortion of the official distortion of the truth.

Thanks Dogfish. Looks like the third level pole system is part of a desk system rather than stand alons stands.

Dogfish, thanks for looking, unfortunately it was the brackets that I was looking to know the name of as 3 monitors stacked seems an unusual but desireable configuration - looking to be set up with monitors exactly how the nearest trader in the picture is set up.

Dogfish, can you do me a favour and take a peek at the makers name on the monitor stands of the traders in the picture in the article - also are they standalone or part of a desk?. TIA

Thats coz you are trading a real account. Switch to sim mode where you can reset back to $100,000 play dollars and you too can achieve these fabulous results.

We are possibly going into a sideways down low volatility phase that could last a couple of years.

Interesting point about 1990's UK recession made by United46 a while back. The market held up while housing and the economy tanked and only had a heavy sell off i.e. climax right at what turned out to be the recovery point. This is not as I remembered it but I looked at the chart and it was so...

Son, that's just not going to cut it around here :D

longs generally are more capitalized than shorts (long-commodity funds are not leveraged), so this restricting on margin or trading limits would just drive prices up even more. Good point, but they buy indexed products and the seller e.g GS uses leverage? (? because I am not completely sure...
