    No market for old men

    "Traxis Partners LLC, the New York-based firm co-founded by former Morgan Stanley chief global strategist Barton Biggs, has declined 15 percent since the end of September in the $1.6 billion Traxis Fund, which chases macroeconomic trends by trading stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities...

    Tradestation for equities?

    In my opinion, No. But you can believe what you want. (Disclosure: you can believe in the tooth fairy if you want).

    Tradestation for equities?

    You would probably find that the #1 rating also has the #1 advertising spend. Coincidence of course if so.

    Earnings are starting to look fugly

    Like the larger slower 2nd wave of a Tsunami - after the first fast frothy wave (cf financials) people think it is all over and relax, but it isn't.

    Investment Commentary-Do you agree?

    Translation: I am saying the bottom is in as that will reduce the chances of you pulling your assets when your Q1 statement of LOSSES hits the mail. We get paid on fees so what is most important is that you don't pull your assets. He forgot to mention that the two bottoms were aided by 75BP...

    Greenspan Wants Attention: Calls Credit Crisis "worst in 50 years"

    He is being rightly unmasked as an incompetent and discredited so the USD100,000 per dinner speeches are probably drying up. Hopefully the old lizard will then slink away into oblivion.

    The New Math: Quantitative hedge funds are pressing into new realms of science

    Agree 100%. It's like being praised for buying the dips, it works until it doesn't. Quants and Broker prop desks are real bull market stuff. They emerge at the top of a bull market and vanish soon after, every cycle. Anyone remember the "paralell processing" quant revolution last time -...

    Buy Harley on home equity?

    Yep, and the homebuilders and the buggy whip makers, in fact anybody with lobbying power in Washington (sorry, that excludes 'we the people')

    Buy Harley on home equity?

    That's why it is trading and reacting to rate cuts like a financial. I would guess that HD is another company that is probably really in the finance biz judging by how it trades.

    John Carter from Trade the Markets

    Shill post? Most of the five star reviews are VERY suspicious IMO, as is the above post - some key "tells' IMO. Are you the Doctor himself perchance?

    Thoughts on next FED move

    Yes if the governement responds to industry lobbying and acts to prevent clearing with its no bank/homebuilder will go bankrupt policy.

    Goldman pulls plug on AQR account

    Minus 21% = wankers who can't really trade. What did Buffet say? When the tide goes out you can see who was swimming naked (confusing leverage with brains).

    George Soros: "Finanical Crisis Worse Since Great Depression; Markets Going Lower"

    Alchemy of Finance. Only interested in books written BY him, not ABOUT him. Worth ploughing through, although he only touches on his trading and ends the book because it has become too much of a diary of his day to day trading. You can pick up some things about how he operates but he contradicts...

    George Soros: "Finanical Crisis Worse Since Great Depression; Markets Going Lower"

    He has a new book out and a big short on the market he is so negative on, but at least he is indeed worth listening to.

    Builders Get Breaks From Congress

    In addition to the "No Bank Left Behind" policy we now have "No Homebuilder left behind" "That's good news for big homebuilders such as KB Home and Pulte Homes Inc., which have been saddled with massive losses over the past year. Jerry Howard, chief executive of the National Association of...

    George Soros: "Finanical Crisis Worse Since Great Depression; Markets Going Lower"

    "Soros recommends the creation of an exchange with a sound capital structure and strict margin requirements, where current and future contracts could be traded." This proposal seems to have eluded Hank the brainless ffffffoootballer for some reason.
