We believe that our move into this state of the art trading facility will allow us to further our strategic plan of becoming a scale player within the market making and execution services industry.
We are at the top of a trading range. Everyone's willing to be bullish, but is the cash there to provide the energy the bulls need? Or is the December high the high-water mark? Dow 11,000 is one of the hooks the bulls will use to try and attract more money into the market.
We are a trading nation. We need access to our markets and we need for those markets to be reasonably secured. If they're not, we can't trade.
We are at a major crossroads here. If we are unable to break out of this trading range to the upside soon, then there is a danger that we could quickly slide back down again to the lows.
I don't think we're in for Armageddon, but there's not going to be any visibility on earnings. So we've got months of trading fun and investors can go to the beach.
What is the most common investor mistake? Trading - getting in and getting out at all the wrong times, for all the wrong reasons.
What's striking about this case is these guys thought about and sought every insider trading scheme they could get their hands on.
But despite the limitations of trading income, this is still a massive start to the year. It is much better than I expected and across all business areas.
Basically we're trading sideways until there's an indication of corporate spending and of earnings picking up. Institutional investors are buying and selling, but the individual investor is still on the sidelines.
Basically we had some good overseas trading. I think that is basically propelling us to a higher opening here. I just think the market is living with the fact that oil prices are trading around these levels, and it's getting a lift from the 10-year yield being below 4.60 percent.
