The stock is called Pharming Group (NL0010391025) - the med they are awaiting a result on is Ruconest for use in non-hereditary angio oedema...
Well here its really time sensitive - the date is firm and verifiable but if it is announced before market closure in Europe I think there is a...
Does anyone know whether the FDA releases the decision on a new drug approval (or not) at a specific time like 9 AM EST or whether there is no way...
@Raf Only Sig is being obtuse here in insisting I am saying stuff I am not. In fact most of what Sig says I agree with except that he's making...
@Sig - You persist (for the third time) in putting words in my mouth: The fact you feel the need to utilise expletives like 'moron' and 'fuck'...
Sig, there is no need to be patronising - you are not reading me correctly I am afraid. I never made the contrary point to your first one at...

@lindq What you are saying is applicable to quasi any strategy. If the shit hits the fan for your particular strategy things do not end well. In...
You make my point. The margin is just what you would have on a spread, you should calculate on the basis of just the spread - it would be the same.
Oh and its definitely NOT an exchange recognised strategy so the lower margin (if any) is purely a result of your broker being good for you.
