It’s not free running a free blog, much less something like a Proprietary Trading site based on Global Macro financial research. Every reader knows that they get something out of the site and for each reader it’s unique. Some like the geo-political twists, some purview based on Quantitative Global financial research.

I have been quite the avid user of PayPal for a long, long, time. Well before it went public, before the war with eBay, when Peter Thiel thought he was changing the way the masses escaped national currency devaluations and thought he was on his way to a $100 Billion market cap in the process, [...]

The lows set on Thursday’s sudden cascade 1000 point sell-off, although we’re being told was caused by a [...]
The desk I run is an Institutional Long/Short Equity desk which tries to maintain a “market neutral” book. This doesn’t mean “buy 1000 shares of IBM and 10 puts”.
