I wish they'd just get straight to the point. Too lengthy a story for me to read.

Salient summary for Euler :"The Supreme Court, however, may lift federal restrictions this year, and if it does, American dollars will flood the market, increasing liquidity and the profits of computer teams: Hehe :D :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thx for that. I enjoyed the read.

I guess you could have got 4 or 5 markets traded in the time it'd take to read it, Derek :)

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that. I'll listen to while I go out for a jog in the sunshine. :D

+1 great read

If you enjoyed that one, here's one on Voulgaris, given that I know you're into a bit of NBA-trading. Cannot recall if I've mentioned him before.

A somewhat dated 60 minutes piece on Billy Walters is also a decent watch

I read it in the end (skimming though bits) - I haven't been so bored since listening to President Dinnerjacket's speech following the capture of British soldiers and sailors!

The only interesting bit is what McGoo quoted!

I was suprised that he was up to 120 parameters before including yard moves.

Sincere apologies Derek.

The story of how you made your first billion dollars must be a cracker, I can't wait.

If I made a billion the story would be along the lines of: sat in front of my computer, placed a bet that won, placed another bet that won, etc. I wouldn't bother mentioning all the young girls I bring back to my flat (or by then, mansion) as it's not relevant to the story. :D
