Overcoming bandwidth, symbol limit, DDE etc limits If I was an institution there would not be these issues as I could get a feed designed to distribute data across a floor and afford the mega leased line/transponder. However as retail I am limited by cost etc What I want to do is stream...

bump. Someone on ET must have it/have read it once.

Come all you young fellas, come listen by me. Don't you go for no soldier, don't you join no army. For the dove she will leave you and the raven will come. And death will come marching at the beat of the drum.

IMO the market has been appearing to go up going up for a number of reasons, most of them normal market dynamics/cuonter reactions to where we are and what has happened. It is actually not rallying, or going up but rather making an upleg rather than a reversal IMHO. The market defenders have...

Same as the lying BS from John Majors Conservative Governement in the recession '90's. I was in a tailors in Savile Row a few years later when Major himself walks in. For a few seconds I debated what the penalty would be if I smashed him in the face, and if it would be worth it. I was...

I just one of those pulls some accounting stunt so that it "beats" earnings estimates that are down 40% YoY there will probably be another 3% in one day rally. Bill Miller and the gang aint done yet.

What happened in S&L crisis (?) may give some precedent. If this risk concerns you my advice would be DON"T keep money in a non bank financial institution. Banks ONLY. Brokers are possibly OK due to SIPC. I have money in brokerage accounts but it is spread across brokers and countries. In the...

Flyingforget, I'm pulling your leg. In some thinner markets like Hang Seng they will get everybody's stop because that is what they set out to do. People put their stops in the same places across markets e.g. whatever number of ticks corresonds with USD50/contract above/below last extreme...

The significance of the increase in inventories seems to be being missed. Right at the time banks are short of cash corporates will draw down their credit lines to replace liquidity lost from failure to turn over their inventory. This may well be a cause of the LIBOR spikes - NOTE this inventory...

Retail stops can be viewed as orange dots on Bloomberg charts by using the RTST function. HTH.

Mizuho just wrote off USD5Bn. The slience fro the Japanese banks was deafening. They are yield pigs and this is probably where much of the missing USD200b of writeoffs are to be found. Hedge Fund Ponzi schemes where they are keeping quiet in case people who want their money back but can't have...

I would have thought unprecedented Government intervention in the financial markets had something to do with trading, you know, like cutting interest rates 50BP ahead of the market open on option expiry day, or cutting 75BP between meetings in an obvious attempt to prevent the market going in a...

Right now banks are reducing their lending to shore up their balance sheet. Consumer loan decisions are made by scoring software at large banks, so if it doesn't fit the criteria it would be rejected. A smaller bank may look at it at a personal level i.e. by a human loan officer - the real...

"Merrill has acknowledged no wrongdoing in the matter" They need to attend mens Bible classes, or somt'n similar that will teach them the basic difference between right and wrong, what stealing is etc.

The principle is not wrong, in fact it is dead right, but timing and stock selection are everything. To me he is making excuses for his not selling CFC, buying BSC and IMHO buying too early which could cost his fundholders a lot of lost time and money. He is also using very slanted examples...

Anyone remember the sugar "shortage" of the late '70's/early '80's. The newspapers were full of stories of housewives denuding supermarkets of sugar as they stocked up ahead of the "shortage". The supermarket sugar shelves were full of ,............... well sugar, at all times. Somebody took...

The good news is that maybe people will stop talking about how much their house is worth, how much they paid for it, and therefore what a genius they are. Negative equity shuts them right up.

Probably a contributory factor to the recent rally if they are net short - redemptions would force buying in.

One scenario is that management manipulates the books as much as they can for the next two quarters while they sell stock. TIF, announced a buyback, then changed their inventory accounting and used tis as the basis for upgrading FY guidance, meanwhile, Management are dumping their stock...

Now this one has definitely lost his glasses: April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the drop in U.S. home prices will probably end ``well before'' early next year as the number of houses on the market diminishes, aiding an economic rebound. .......or...
