Are you educated? Do you know there is something called humanity? Shame on you for these comments. China Life has done something wonderful, why can't you just face that?

To better prepare for a black swan, I'd pay top dollars for an advanced prosumer DSLR camera - a black swan is rare luck to run into :) I'll take a full 4GB memory card load of photos... Not sure about other catastrophic events...

I remember around 2002 Bill Gross said something to the tune of Dow 5000- that's about the point market turned around...

Anyone knows where you can get paid reasonable interest on a balanced book of say 200k a side? That is, if you put up 200k and build a book of 200k long and 200k short, where can you earn interest on the 200k of balance you see in the account? Thanks.

down $12500. bad day.

Are you willing to bet your life?

With the 13T of debt piling up, it only benefits the American public if the currency is debased. When gold trades at 1,000,000,000,000 per ounce we can simply pay off the 13,000,000,000,000 of national debt by 13 ounces of gold - nice plan!! Robbing our creditors is so clever. Heli-Ben is no...

Not true - they were up 50% in 2005. Lost 9% in 06 and looking at 26% off for 07 YTD.

What bluff? China has over 1T of USD exposure that they need to sell. I'd say China is cornered successfully by the U.S. Look at it this way, US had been able to sell to China papers and numbers they print or increment in the banking system, while getting real commodities from China at...

Words have it that only the very top knows the big picture. Don't be fooled. Town-hall meetings can't be very revealing.

Yes indeed. All of Nasdaq is using the INET technology. So there is no need to distinguish...

Yes and more.

Most banks uses this system. I used on a daily basis. However, it is kind of clumsy to enter trades on. I'd say the main value it brings is the readiness of all types of data. That is, _ALL_ types of data that you want to access is within a few key strokes. Their UI isn't too pretty, however the...

Then there must be no traders trading internationally from Brazil - or they have to learn to make no losses :)

The bull will run out of steam soon. It's as crazy as Nasdaq in 2000, if not more. It's gotten people "investing" all of their net worth and then some into the short term craze. We'll see how it end up, but in a market where no one can short, a down fall won't be pretty... -eraci-

I don't believe it is a random walk. I just thought that the motivating rationale Mark put in his book is false. Essentially, knowing that the first 15 minutes can see the overall top over 1/26 of the time does not disprove the random walk hypothesis. That's the entire point I was making...

In <logic trader> chapter 1 which is freely available, Mark fisher claims that if market is following a random walk, then the morning 15 minutes has 1/26 likelihood to have seen the top (or bottom) of the day. And then he went on to claim that it is actually much larger a proportion, thus the...
