- CME to list the large S&P and Nasdaq contracts electronically. [Thanks, Aaron!] - Eliminate the PDT and other silly rules, so we can get more dumb money back into the market. - Same goes for uptick rule on stocks. Abolish it. We need faster moves in the futs! - A by-law 2s routing delay for all ES trades over 100 cars... At least for now... - CME to list more than 5 depth levels on ES / NQ - Prohibition & prosecution for using >1 ET handle. (too much confusion) - Monkey that can be trained to day trade (sorry, GG doesn't count) - No more wars. George Bush & Johnnie Howard (Australia) to lose the next election (!!!) - Samsung to finally bring out their new model of 19" TFT's. - 3,500% return for 2004 - eSignal & X_Trader free lifetime subscription - To BUY that seat on CME - R-44 Raven Helicopter (already saving) - 2005 Acura NSX (already waiting) - Ferrari F50 Koenig (>1,000 hp - why settle for less?) - Half a dozen Cray Supercomputers, fully staffed with willing nerds. - 8X8 house in Nedlands / Peppy Grove, with indoor swimming hall, gym, lifts to the underground car park and other subtleties - And finally : A Harrier, for complete mobility. This will cost 300X as much as the $5M house, but yeah. Last wish, Santa! Realistically, I agree with vanilla2 on the most important things of all : Health & happiness, liquid & volatile markets... Thanks for thread. Interesting indeed. I'll look at this list again in a year's time... -S
