I found that once the enjoyable [for ADD types] learning curve part was over I found it increasingly difficult to maintain the level of concentration required for daytrading i.e. watching every print to get a feel as to how it got there or waiting for the 2-3 setups per day. I suspect this is...

Good call Cutten.

If that is the case then I stand corrected, but I would have thought they would have blocked off that avenue.

Chimp speech is actually on 28th. My typo. It will start as always with "What they've told me to say today is...................."

Asise from legal and ethical cnsiderations, you will probaby find this a technical near impossibility unless you are an ex Russian Scientist turned hacker. Installing Bloomberg is not a simple process. They went through this before with Banks splitting the digital feed 300 times. There was a...

Fed came out 1 week ahead of the meeting because the meeting was on 30th and the Chimp is giving his 'Disrepair of the Union speech on the 30th and didn't want to speak against a 1987 backdrop. Supported for the same reaon today. New shorts would cover and there is money form closet indexer...

Other institutional grade are CQG (~$600/month) and Metastock Quotecenter (formerly the Bridge platform) $135/month (but someone posted that it has prblems at the tick level in a fast market). Cheap non lag (snapshot, not every tick) quotes are IB fed through Sierra/Quotetracker/Ensign/others

Cutten, respect your views but would like it if you would clarify for trading a bounce or are you expecting a reversal and zoom back to old highs? ST you may be right, but I don't think the world has seen an OTC derivatives meltdown before plus property will likely take 2-3 years to work...

HSI last 30 mins might be a better indicator. Australians don't get told. It seems Chinese Govt are told in the mid PM and then do the honourable thing by tipping off their buddies.

How many other countries around the world have cut?

Thanks Ganesh.

SLT is the [recently] US listed short India, short copper play. Double Whammy play with plenty more downside to go IMHO. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601012&sid=aXqiuzY4AMmY&refer=commodities make that triple whammy, probably listed at nosebleed...

'87 crash was made worse by portfolio insurance and it recovered because the economy was not so bad as to justify the discount created. This time it's the other way round we have a property/credit bubble driven recession. Slower 2-3 year bleed than in 99-01 as the economy was driven to a...

Just go ahead and buy when you see value as discussed by yourself on another thread . Having been through this more than once before I have heard the premature value argument before and will buy when I see value, which may be a lot lower than your point of entry, and a lot later, maybe 2-3...

Government will bail out the insurers at the behest of Wall St to stave off technical insolvency, just like FASB delayed the rule that would have required SIV's to come onto the balance sheet. Lot's of "you need to be more of a team player, this is a NATIONAL SECURITY issue"/"how about a tax...

If I have understood this corectly Banks with insudre binds on their balance sheet are going to have to report their real value if the insurer goes bankrupt as per MER's decision to write down insured bonds as part of their big bath as the insurance was technically there on paper for accounting...

Suckers rally/technical bounce rather than a reversal to the upside.

Looks like there will be a bounce as there is a degree of capitulation i.e professionals (not the final one when Walt & Irma finally sell) coinciding with all 4 indices at/nearing support or old resistence becoming support. Asian indices downmove has basically stalled for 3 days. Last but not...

I suspect (but don't know for a fact) that he buys with a classic value margin of safety and does not use leverage. Classic value layer don't believe they can call the market. With that kind of entry and his LT orientation, corrections are probably not something he would bother with, although he...

Could't agree more - I saw how these incompetent jerks called loans and forced businesses into recievership last time, all without interrupting their golf afternoons. If your account goes into negative equity does your broker let you buy time until you can sort something out? Nope, he just dumps...
