Food Wars: Denmark’s War on Marmite

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

Food Wars: Denmark’s War on Marmite
Wars have always been fought over food, that persistent necessity in life. François Rabelais, in Chapter 25 of his 16th century classic The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel ( La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel ) attributes the outbreak of one conflict to a disagreement over prices between the cake-bears of Lerné and initially courteous shepherds.

This strategy is categorized as a statistical arbitrage and convergence trading strategy. The pair trading was pioneered by Gerry Bamberger and later led by Nunzio Tartaglia’s quantitative group at Morgan Stanley in the 1980s. When the correlation between the two securities temporarily weakens, ie one stock moves up while the other moves down, the pairs trade would be to short the outperforming stock and to long the underperforming one, betting that the ‘spread’ between the two would eventually converge. The divergence within a pair can be caused by temporary supply/demand changes, large buy/sell orders for one security, reaction for important news about one of the companies, and so on. Pairs trading strategy demands good position sizing, market timing, and decision making skill. Although the strategy does not have much downside risk, there is a scarcity of opportunities, and, for profiting, the trader must be

Where can I find affordable legal advice re debt?

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Question by Mark_W: Where can I find affordable legal advice re debt?
I need to speak to a legal expert about credit card debt. I have card debt from another country which runs into tens of thousands spread over nine credit cards and a few thousand on one card in this country. To be honest I no longer know what I owe on each card as I can’t log into online accounts anymore, or have forgotten passwords and don’t even know if collection agencies are now involved, but I am guessing they will be as the last payments were made back in Autumn 2008. In my defence there were reasons for getting into the debt, but I am not for one minute saying that condones it. Anxiety and worry are crippling me and I need to talk to someone and get advice about what I should do (I sure as hell am not ever using a credit card again)!
E.g. I know it would probably take the rest of my life, but I am considering trying to find out how to get someone to pay all of my debt off in one go to all the companies and then work out an affordbale plan to pay it off in manageable monthly installments for the rest of my life, but being in a different country makes things complicated (I would imagine). Is Citizen’s advice Bureau the best bet, or would my bank be an option?

Grateful for any advice you can give me.

BetsForTraders.com Launch Stock and Index Bets

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

BetsForTraders.com Launch Stock and Index Bets










(PRWEB) June 27, 2007

Online Financial Bookmakers BetsForTraders have expanded their product offering by adding a large range of single stock and stock index bets to their web based betting market. The company also plan to add commodity, interest rate and other market bets shortly.

After ‘going live’ just six weeks ago with the world’s largest selection of fixed odds financial betting structures the company initially made a market in bets on global foreign exchange rates. The Binary Bet, One Touch and other betting structures are offered on a unique dealing platform which enables traders to design, price and trade their own financial bets in real time. Unlike financial spread betting, clients have the benefit of knowing that they will never lose more than their stake on any individual bet but can multiply their money many times if the stock or forex market moves in their favour.

Joe Paterson, Company Spokesman said, “We initially made the decision just to offer foreign exchange bets to see how well they would be received by the financial betting community. Having seen the daily volume of transactions sky rocket over the past few weeks we listened to the requests from our clients and added stock and index bets. Traders find that the transparency and liquidity provided by the dealing interface and the site’s ‘build-your-own-bet’ technology gives them a competitive advantage and just keeps fuelling growth. We have done very little advertising to date, our expansion has largely been by word of mouth.”

Having launched the stock and index bets the company plan to further boost their product offering with a range of bets on commodity prices and international interest rates. No date has yet been set for the new product launch but Ryan Kneale, a Client Service Executive for the company said “There is no limit to the markets that we can and will offer bets on, if it trades, we will offer real time betting on it — the expansion will continue to meet the demand of our clients increasingly sophisticated needs.”

Is it possible to score several hundred % on the stock market/year without using leverage, and just investing?

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
spread betting companies
by jpazkual

Question by William M: Is it possible to score several hundred % on the stock market/year without using leverage, and just investing?
I am a new investor in the stock market, and I have considered using leveraged products such as CFD’s, spread betting, options etc. But, realistically, I don’t think I’d be willing to risk any money using leverage, at least not for several years or so anyway.

I like to invest into smaller companies with growth prospects, and I was just wondering if by just investing in the actual underlying stocks, and trend trading them, doing it again and finally compounding my returns several times a year, could I score several hundred percent on the stock market and become a millionaire? Also, if there is a better strategy, do you have one?

Best answer:

Answer by Ryan M
Anything is “possible” however your scenario is VERY highly improbable. If it was that easy, there would be a million millionaires for every one loser in small cap/penny stock investing. Instead it is the other way around.

Is Share Dealing Dead???

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Question by praet_serge: Is Share Dealing Dead???
I was writing a review on investment options available in the UK for retail investors and it seams to me that share dealing is dead for retail investors as it’s quite expensive (stamp duty, tax, commission) and there’re many other options like financial spread betting and contracts for difference available now. I ran through http://www.independentinvestor.co.uk (they claim and actually compare lots of spread betting and cfds accounts) and realised that there were so many spread betting and CFDs companies now and competition between them is fierce. When I checked stockbrokers their websites looked a bit old and out of style.
So is it true that share dealing gets overtaken by other cheaper and more efficient investment options?

Careers & jobs in gaming

www.thebettingheadhunter.com – Recruitment jobs in search – gaming & gambling sector – Too many companies rely on recruitment agencies to filter out the vast amount of CVs currently flooding the international job boards when looking to fill vacancies. Admittedly its a job that most businesses are not geared up to do, so in a sense the recruiter is providing a much needed service, if thats what the hiring manager or HR professional perceives as value… •Bingo • Casino • Spreadbetting • Poker • Bookmaking • Mobile applications • Sportsbook • Operations, security, fraud, transactions • P2P • Premium rate services • Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, London, Panama & Asian markets • Retail gambling • Online iGaming • Affiliate marketing, PPC, SEO, Social media The problem I have with this is that human capital is a very complex matter. Its not all about a CV and a race to get it on the desk of a client before the other 5 agencies! I constantly come across the comment from employers that they get the same CV from many different sources over a long period of time. Why wouldn’t they? The CV sits on job boards for years…. My simple point today is that employers should expect to be introduced to candidates who are motivated to look at the opportunity on offer once the recruiter has completed a professional assessment and validation service, the extent of which can vary of course, but the client should know what that service is! Maybe employers are at fault? Perhaps they have made
