Thought you had to know a bit about futures for that ! He he he - only joking TsunSzu ! Read with interest that you trade The Gilt - I used to deal in a bit of Goverment stock myself in my stockbroking days. Oh yes - War Loan, Treasury 2 1/2 and all that. Now I am a bit of a player in the Ftse market
Wind your neck in guide-me......the Guv is the analyst and that's that and it would be a brave man to suggest someone else could fill his boots. That said, I filled them with gorilla piss once while we were on exercise in Ka Ding Ho but that was ok because it was a practical joke played by one hard bastard on another ( he still broke my arm in 2 places though but we did laugh ) Hard men at work and play Bloody marvellous
if u want to know how to trade the ftse ask the analyst as apparantly he will let u know when there is move to get on.....
A move in the ftse, gee i didnt think that thing moved anymore. I do not know if I will be able to contribute for much longer, there is a rumour that a stand by for the trouble in Hati is going to come through. Maybe all the old guard will see action together again
I heard a rumor that Bin Laden had been spotted with the red cross and this was a market mover...any truth in this those who are in the know?
Now, now. You're being naughty aren't you? It's cruel to pick on the unfortunate. It's so sad that someone can live in such a delusional world of their own making. Amazing that he gets paid to read out what he doesn't understand and can't explain. Quote: "I don't think you should ever have a situation where the traders know more than the analyst". Well neither do I, so it's a good job he's not an analyst then. See? Totally delusional. How much of a moron do you have to be to think that an aid agency has captured the world's most wanted man? (apparently St.John's Ambulance were really pissed off as they'd been tracking Bin Laden for months!). I wish it was a one-off but it's simply part of an ongoing daily display of incompetence which actually makes a trader's life more difficult than it needs to be, instead of providing help. Unfortunately while all the traders know this, those that employ the man with no brain do not, and so we must continue to suffer. If only his interests lay with understanding the market instead of strutting around fueling the already gargantuan ego of a failed trader/newsreader....ah but this will never happen so why bother dreaming. I understand the frustrations of this incredibly sarcastic thread, what can I say but put on some music and drown out the ignorant ramblings before it costs you too much dough......
I know I couldn't help it. I guess its because I am in a privileged position and am out of hearing distance. Still I am sure it gave you the edge on the missing plane fiasco, I was left nursing my wounds from an over exuberant short after the ISM, oh dear should have known its not the headline figures that count anymore but the breakdown. Personally over non-farm my eye will be on the average work week of mexican immigrants in IT jobs, for my future clues on US interest rate policy. But shush, don't let your man know that ;-)
