    Gotcha! Now it becomes clear: This is a good place to offload your position so now trying to drum up some interest eh? Always good to do that when you have had a good run and earnings are coming up, never wise to hold through earnings particularly when there is a risk of them being (very)...

    You must Buy INTC now!!!

    Guy drives his car for 870K miles

    Must be about 10 - 15 years ago that I was in Sydney. Most cabs in Sydney were the old Ford Falcon 4.1 ltr XA / XB / XC models. Most of them had 500 - 800 K Km on the clock. They told me they kept them running 24 hours a day, just one driver changing with the other. It's the starting up and...

    Eur/USD

    Oil is called "black gold" and oil producing countries are starting to prefer being paid in Euro's.... Remember Germany prior to WW II. Kept on funding their anti "terrorist" work with printing more money. There are those who want to spread their risk and not put all their eggs in one...

    How many Would move to New Broker Company ?

    - execution latency - correctness and understandibility of statements - traders outside the US do not need a complex reporting system - safety of funds if providing a "basic datafeed" then no compression of data and historical data in same format because trading requirements "morph" all...
