Think of short as a negative share position. To close it out, buy the shares in the market at the (hopefully lower) price. You've (1) sold at a higher price and (2) bot at a lower price - profit is the difference. Mechanically, the neg

For us, the most frequent issue on our land line are out-of-country calls (so out of jurisdiction) trying to sell duct cleaning services. We've gone as far as booking a couple of appointments to identify the local businesses that use t

Very interesting content and I hadn't encountered it before, but can we get a (2016) tag as it's not 'new'.

Re. the number of machines, it's something I've encountered as an obstacle from a fair proportion of people I've spoken about password managers to. I think its more a perceived issue than a real one. Just spitballing which sy

Nix says Oakes attended UCL “in a private capacity.” I have no idea what this means, which is - I suppose - the point?

I disagree, there are competitors for almost all the non-internally created datasets which implies the streams are available outside the Terminal. IMO the network effect is the biggest thing to break and that would need to begin with the bu

There's a 'joke' in my office, we have someone who circulates key headlines in a morning email because we all have electronic access to a slew of newspapers which means none of us read any of them. Related, I renewed a print

PC reading, I've not tried it on mobile, but I always enjoy the layout / setup of the Gates Notes. Very clear to read and navigate.

The parent article links to Assange's comments after meeting with Schmidt "Google is Not What it Seems" [1] which has some interesting discussion of the links between Google's senior level and politicians. Published yest

Absolutely. The reputation of a suspect should not be grounds for erosion of their rights.

The common definition of a hedge fund I encounter is they're designed to earn an absolute rate of return regardless of how the border markets are performing. There are so many strategies (even down to use of derivatives, leverage, shor

Speculation only, but I'd expect the relative size and scope of the financial industry today vs 1913 to explain that difference. As in it's easier to earn $1.5bn within 2013's financial industry than it would have been (infla

It's a loaded question. How do people develop interest in a subject? What road-blocks do they encounter from a young age through school and entering the workplace? I've not seen any study that suggests given similar influences wom

I've used waramps key tags since I was introduced to them 6 years ago. I'd like to think making it easy to return lost keys is enough to encourage their return, but the reward offer and support for other devices strikes me as a go

Loved reading this. Some incredible reasoning, even being shown the answer there are multiple stages I can't follow the reasoning that allowed them to progress. Kudos, respect, and jealousy!

I agree, I also do not think that automatically subscribing those who agree to future mailings ("Free Press will contact you about future campaigns.") is a good way to garner good will from the audience this banner would target.

Retail orders are generally routed to markets using a SOR and do not overage 100% of the full order. There are latency differences between exchanges / ATS'. If you are very fast is possible to post passively on multiple venues and

Thus assuming that someone else will always pay the spread. Tragedy of the commons ensues. But this whole article seems to be written for retail investors. And as much as HFTs may sound scary for retail traders they make their money off ins

Nanex explains this stuff better than I will so I'm just going to link to their research (tl;dr summary of [1] below). I will accept not all HFT participants are obligated to follow any or all of these behaviours, but they are argued i
