    Peter Navarro, top economic adviser on China, fabricated economic source alter ego

    This guy has done more damage to the US economy than the financial crisis of '08. How in the world is Trump going to get re-elected listening to this buffoon. Which tells me Trump needs to make some kind of truce or rapprochement at the end of this year or beginning of the next with China to...

    What does that comment mean in English? Although not a Hollywood movie, I thought the youtube documentary Floored was done pretty good and enjoyed watching it.

    Must-Watch Movies for Traders

    What risk management techniques does Crispin Odey use to survive 27 years and become ultra-rich?

    If you look at the bar graph of returns from the article from '08 to '18 his average yearly return for those 10 years is 5%. Now, if I was an investor I don't think I would want to go through the vagaries of those ups and downs for a 5% return. You can easily just put it in a triple A rated...

    How do people fail at this?

    I think the spreads are different on the training platform compared to the actual trading platform. Oanda takes more of a cut on the spread in real life.

    I make 100% roi on a 100k portfolio every year.

    Why? From watching his TV show, he seemed professional and did not seem to use excessive force. He sometimes had to use precaution against some really violent felons but I think that force was justified when you are dealing with the really crazy ones.

    Hedge fund managers looking at shrunken bonuses this year

    Because its just one bad year. If you look at their 10 or 15 year returns these guys are returning 15-20% per year. That's why these people keep their money in these types of funds. Its still worth it after all the management fees.

    Anyone from Knight willing to comment?

    Yes, but that is a glitch in Knight's automated program not the exchange's program. They should'nt be busting up any trades. Knight is like a 2nd tier firm; its not one of those too big too fail firms like goldman. Oh, well, I guess sec protects its own local firms. Kind of suprising as the...
