What a total idiot. One of the most serious financial crises ever and we have an academic buffoon, a Chimp and a brainless footballer in charge.

Volume And Open Interest: Revised Edition (Hardcover) by Kenneth H. Shaleen Anybody got an opinion on this? Curious as it is offered for $750. I have his options book but have not really been motivated to read it from cover to cover. Other high priced out of prints like Crabel and Klarman...

I am LT bearish but always looking for where I may be wrong. To me, market not going down on bad news is a heads up but this was also options expiry day and I suspect many index stocks were pinned to a strike price. Very artificial action late PM suggest options were being pinned. Russell...

er, Sovereign Wealth Funds?

Must be running low on advance bookeings for his $100,000/per dinner speeches. I think he shuld retreat to a Monastery and work on his acceptance, acceptance of the fact that the rest of the world is not in denial that the roots of the problem are firmly rooted in HIS watch and HIS policy...

One way in which BBG IS worth it is reliability and lack of compulsory upgrades. Banks with real money on the line are not in a mood to screw around with stuck quotes or a non functioning compulsory upgrade. I waste alot of time looking for workarounds for crap data and broker programs that...

Brazil would be a nice next, but I have a feeling there are regulatory and currency conversion issues. Bring me the wild frontier markets where the ramping syndicates roam free :D

Internet is MUCH MUCH WORSE than it was 2 years ago, more users, no increase in international bandwidth. Blocking of ports, constand dropping of connections - you would be better off trying to trade from Cuba or Zimbabwe. I have dropped all leveraged intraday stuff and now just trade in the...

"I'm not sure of the timetable for other S.American markets" Can we assume that more are planned, you just don't know the timetable, or is that putting words into your mouth?

Steve, any plans for any other S. American markets?

The character you describe exists but you make money being long when you should be long and short when you should be short. I am short, so presumably that makes me a loser. I would actually rather be operating in a bull market, but I just think the economy's drivers have taken more of a shock...

I thought this was all "contained".

Well said Mr Iacocca, but as you alude to, unfortunately the sheeple now regard the American Dream or the credit that provides the illusion of it as a birthright. Anybody who does not promise the American Dream for nothing will not be voted in. I can't believe the change in Americans over the...

Been through exactly the same search/wasted time with rubbish. My solution: Metastock Quotecenter (standalone product that used to be the Bridge institutional product).

The Buffet factor. Just mentioan his name and everybody who watches CNBC buys - from someone who is selling Muni insurance is a low risk high profit business. Buffet is taking advantage of the insurers weakness to get a slice of that and the market is acting like "we are saved" If Buffet...

If banks won't take a writedown on the property it is probably because their balance sheets won't stand the writedowns on top of all their level 3. Seen this before. They didn't go to the SWF's because they were flush with cash. I suspect some are teetering on the edge of negative equity even...

And the ones that aren't are a rebirth of the 1920's Pools.

Looks like I was right........................ "Sol Waksman, president of Barclay Group, an alternative investment database, said that three-quarters of the 1,241 hedge funds that have reported returns for January lost money."...

I am just saying that banks will try and keep foreclosed property off their books because that is what it is in their interest to do. It is very difficult to sell repo'd homes in a falling market and those falls in value have to be booked by the bank if it carroes the repo'd home on its balance...
