    Bitcoin Nasdaq correlation (for 400 Alex)

    All time or less than all time? Time if latter, thanks. I should add Coin cash vs QQQ, I suppose, since the Coin ETF is very recent (right?).

    Bitcoin Nasdaq correlation (for 400 Alex)

    Anyone have a handle on correlation or not of Bitcoin and Nasdaq 100? Looking at rise in both since last September or so, along with the few dips in both this year, I see them as correlated. How about right now? Coin is down quite a bit tonight, while Nasdaq futures rebounding. The answer...

    Hang Seng drop -- hiccup or not?

    Hang Seng down about 2 percent as I write (halfway through the session). Harbinger? Contagion for US stocks? Any effect on independent classes like crypto?

    financing expense

    How much more expensive is it to hold a long euro v usd position on OANDA than in CME futures? I refer to the financing OANDA charges to hold a lower interest currency over a higher interest currency. That difference, as I understand it, is priced into the future, only more fairly (or so I...

    It is. His brother may be in the picture. The brother was more decorated. George said he was the better officer.

    Euro Geronimoooo

    I'd say twice as likely that euro will go same distance other way, up not down, by end of 2011. That is if expectation of more bad news from Europe and herdishness which follows from it are at crests. The move could be startling, because you might say Greece is where USA will be in a few...

    Video:60 Minutes - Those Who Are 401(k) Screwed & Even Unemployed; Wall Street Racket

    You know, you may be right, because from what I have seen, some of these crazies love dough so much they might just offer up an actual pound of flesh if it would knock down their tax tabs a bit. But you gotta be sure it's their flesh they're offering up: they're a tricky crowd, you know. No...
