The CME has taken a few people to court recently, most notably Sarao for violations such as spoofing. Given that spoofing and other market abuse has been rife on globex for well over 10 years, how long will it be before someone starts a class action suit against the CME? The expression 'hoist by...

What's with these new shitty ticks? I can't find any info about them, or explanation for the change.

Thanks for replying Winston. I've got linux MINT cinamon. I've got WINE installed. To be honest I didn't understand the rest of what you said but that will be a starting point for me to work it all out.

Does anyone run TT on a linux platform? Can it be done? Are there any futures trading software that runs on linux? (I'm new to linux -sorry if these questions are basic/obvious).

Hilarious. That will teach him. The mighty hand of the law prevails yet again. We can all sleep tight.

The modern American corporate structure is a failed model. It is only about wealth redistribution to the elite. Otherwise how is this dipsh!t worth $53m??? I am a capitalist and that is why this is why I resent these halfwits cashing in while the rest of us have to be a bloody genius and a...

Oh the irony. When the old codger Buffett made most of his money trading on inside knowledge..... How dare someone trade on inside knowledge on his deal.

Please turn out the lights when you leave.

'given the actions of the Fed' -as in - taking the actions of the Fed as a given. I did not express myself clearly, was making no link between the two and can see how that sentence can be interpreted as you have. With the HFTs dominating the volume is many markets, I don't think it's possible...

Well my first argument was that in the case of bonds we are discovering a yield that doesn't present any useful value in the real world. So we are discovering a value that has little use, and is not a true value. However my second part was an argument about how with the current status quo...

Would stock prices or bond prices be at these levels without the intervention of the Fed? For example, for the majority of Americans (or at least a large minority), the rate on the 30yr bond has no relevance to their lives. They probably couldn't get a mortgage, and if they could it would be...

True enough there will always be criminals like Jon Corzine -there was no value to me mentioning his name -I just find it cathartic to say FUCK YOU JON CORZINE at any given opportunity. I'm not proposing nationalized exchanges. As a capitalist I find that goes against the grain but we have...

The problem with letting a private exchange set its own rules is that we need a capitalist system for this to make sense. Take the CME Group. This is now a TBTF institution. There are huge barriers to entry in this industry and no effective competition for it's contracts. It has been allowed...

Shitty volumes and an inability to police clearers and safeguard client funds. I bet the guys at KCBT can't wait for the CME management to take over. I was just thinking -what we really need in this industry is more centralization. Less competition and more TBTF institutions -that's the way...

Scrambled egg and toast futures anyone? I'm going to put that at the top of my resume and send it to the CME. See you all on the other side.

Lost interest at the point of the list of TARP banks. Boy do I want to trade in a market they are making. I bet they will be every bit as successful as the old swap contracts. (I actually saw somebody who trade them once believe it or not). I'm trying to think of their last successful product...

FUCKING PATHETIC FINE FOR YEARS OF CHEATING. .

I can't see that adding any more than marginal value. Unless you're suggesting something like millions of Mexicans have come over here to get foodstamps which I can't see being the case. The absolute numbers speak for themselves don't they?

That's a little harsh on retards isn't it?

Smearing shit on a piece of paper would be a valid counter to the academic arguments. Bring them on. Google images of faeces for the ripostes. From the genius nobel prize winners that first brought you LTCM... emg is the rain man of Et -over 4000 posts with the same message. Mental...
