It would seem that you're not the only one worried about eurozone problems & the possible demise of the Euro. from Reuters; http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/11/24/uk-ukbanks-fsa-idUKLNE7AN02K20111124 "Britain's banks are drawing up contingency plans in case there is a disorderly break-up ...

I imagine there would have been a huge spike in the search term "Jobs". Unfortunately this would have been mostly due to the passing of Steve Jobs rather than employment prospects or lack thereof. (I note the smiley winky face in your post so you probably meant this anyway. :wink: ) *edit*...

Further to the above, we could probably agree that Slogans like “Greeceâ€

I started to wonder if there might be a correlation between search term popularity and market moves. Dean, It sounds like you are trying to measure the ‘Mind’(*) of the market, that is what the market is thinking or more correctly what people in the market are thinking (Note that this is differ...

Yes, but is share price the optimal measurement by which we gauge the risk of the institution, or do we use how their debt (bonds) are trading? I suppose the theory is that today’s share price will (ideally) discount events that have yet to happen or are in the process of happening. Enron, AIG, L...

I think you are correct.
For the Dec 2011 Contract, I see a low price of 1.57160 using non-CSI data. Perhaps this is specific to CSI ?
Perhaps a friendly email to CSI could help

Yes, very suspicious.
Here is what I see when I look at ED_June2012, I think these numbers are correct.
(perhaps people might want to take note of these figures until a correction comes through)

Interactive Brokers allows customers (both US and Non-US) to trade on the LSE as well as many other exchanges throughout the world. IB could therefore be a starting point for your research. Here is the IB page for LSE products containing 2477 stocks (you can check to see if your ETF's are amongst th...

Here is one take on why forecasting is a mugs game

From the aforementioned link:

Anyone with an intense emotional interest in a subject loses the ability to observe it objectively

Rabidric,
Good stuff.
It's the old story;
"those that ignore history are condemned to repeat it"

The 'Non-Essentials' (a.k.a. things you shouldn't do)

1) Cut your Winners
2) Ride your losses
3) Disregard risk
4) Don’t use stops
5) Buck your system
6) Follow the news

And lastly,

7) DO NOT deep fry a turkey whilst naked. (applies to all traders as well as everyone else)

Further to the previous post above; Upon completion of my weekly orders review, I noticed a new stop-entry signal for platinum but unfortunately the risk-to-protective stop was just too large for my account. I could grumble about it and whine about how life is unfair that I can’t afford it or I co...

If CSI requires you to take out a yearly subscription in order to get historical data and you don't want to do that then here is one service that provides US historical data (and US delisted securities data) only without the need for a subscription; http://www.premiumdata.net/products/premiumdata/us...

Sluggo, Hi, I have an online account and for my own amusement I sold short 1 off September CAC40 futures and immediately covered that short just to see if I could do it. I had no problems with performing this transaction and saw no error messages or red lights flashing. Cost me 5 euro . . . should'v...
