Presenting The World's Tallest Skyscraper, Whose Construction Was Just Halted

Will USD/JPY Spike Towards 110 Or Fall To 90 By End-Q3? - JP Morgan

Thing is: can HFT ever be eradicated? Seems like it is here to stay unless some technological impediment can throttle the frequency of order placement. And then, at what frequency? And who is "exempt" from it? The big institutions who can pay over ...

High speed trader fined $3 million for commodity manipulation

Japanese Stocks Crater Almost 600 Points

strong words and boldly spoken. I share your sentiment. Your colourful question "Who do these IMF wankers think they are?" is, of course, answered: "the operational wing of Team America". With their fast deteriorating grip on the political and ...

China defies IMF on mounting credit risk and need for urgent reform

yes, and the "green shoots"? guess when the European Derivatives Bubble bursts the EurUsd will go to 1.50 and Draghi will be like: "uhmm, we are facing some challenges,uhmm, but we are prepared to do whatever it takes in the future. The Eugho is ...
