Good Post, John Wensink. I have also heard of people going through their local Chamber of Commerce. I have never heard or read a thorough explanation as to how this works exactly, however. Maybe if someone has some experience with this they can flesh it out. Thanks.

I'm only addressing the Buffet part of this. I have no idea what Krispy did or did not do with KKD stock. If Buffet is a proponent of "moats" - yet he does not own ANY GOOG, how is what KrispyKreme50 said a stupid comment? KO is like one of Buffet's top 5 holdings. Krispy is simply...

Yet, with all of his billions - Buffet owns NO SHARES of GOOG. Nada. Not even a measly (for him) 1000 shares. While GOOG may meet your "moat" test - it clearly hasn't met his.

If you have time - what is your opinion as to why the liquidity dropped over the past 6 months? My newbie guess would be the increase in volatility. Looking at the implied volatility for the TLT - mid-May of last year it was just over 6%. Now it is just under 18%. Almost triple. Is this the...

Yeah - I have never seen a quote screen for debt futures. The TLT ETF is like 2000 to 3000 shares on the bid/offer right now. That's like 2 or 3 10 year futures contracts. So, yeah - I thought 20 contracts would be really "nice" :) But 500 ! :D

400 to 600 contracts ... wow ... Thanks, Inverted. I appreciate the info ...

Youngtrader Bernard 111 Inverted Curve My exposure to US debt market trading is limited to trading the TLT (the equity ETF that tracks the longer-term treasuries) I am thinking of either moving from trading the TLT or trading the TLT shares and the 10 year debt futures as well...

I made a similar inquiry a few days ago. The following is an edited cut and paste of the exchange. Hope it helps. CC --- Youngtrader: " ... To be honest it seems like everyday CBOT treasuries become more and more of a joke. Eurex is the only way to go imo ... " Chevy Chase...

Thanks, John. This next question is open to all who are familiar with CQG. What is it that CQG does that allows them to put out high quality data vs. ESignal and some of the other vendors that people have been disappointed in?

So with TradeStation data, you have very rarely had bad ticks and missing data and etc. , correct? Is the "donkey ball sucking" in the use of the chart studies and charting tools? Seems like you are saying TradeStation is okay if you just want good, accurate, fast and timely charts...

Are you saying that TradeStation's data quality was good and ESignal is very inferior to TradeStation's ? Or that TradeStation's data quality sucks and ESignal sucks even more. Just curious ...

Thanks for the guidance, DblArrow. I think I saw on an earlier post that simply moving to the 10 year isn't a solution because what you pointed out has affected the arb trading between the two. I'm not sure if the poster was annoyed with the day session liquidity of the 10 year or the...

Lucrum Youngtrader Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated. Youngtrader, I'd like to get more of your thoughts regarding the transition of the 30 year bond futures (to being a "joke" - as you said). Always thought it was seriously liquid (to be clear - I would only be...

Lucrum Youngtrader Bondtrader50 InvertedCurve Surdo I have enjoyed reading your posts and I am interested in trading the 30 year bond futures. Would you mind telling me which futures broker you guys use? Thanks.

MB Green: Does T3 allow overnight positions? You can PM me if you want to discuss your offer in detail.

Thanks Maverick. Excellent article.

Chauncey1 Thank you. Very helpful.

Hi. I am a newbie when it comes to trading currencies. The following questions pertian to interbank or spot currency trading - not the futures. 1. On a $100,000 position - if I had shorted the USD vs. the CDN at .9450 and covered the position at .9350, how much would I have made? 2...

What is supposed to be so great about it?
