Playing trading-games... Seems it's not that simple to sell bonds? So far I thought that you can sell them like stocks or options in a few seconds. I couldn't stay this, when I musted wait 6 days for my money. I'm still impatient when I'm trading and must wait a few moments till a option-order is executed. My working-place (smallest place in the world) is now good enough organized for making about 20 option-trades during one hour. When I face "hurry" situations, I prepare a lot of orders the day before or at least hours before I expect "cheap" prices. However, mostly I buy to early - so there's no need for quicker executions... I'd like to share a trading-game; but so far I couldn't find a game with acceptable tools (maybe that e-trade-game was better). In Germany they manipulate using games - you will be charged by the same fees a "normal" trader is charged, and you must pay additional a general fee. More, you cannot play US-stocks nor options, even not all German-stocks but only a selection... probably exactly the mess bankers lose their sharholders money with. I cannot understand how these "professionals" could achieve such losses. On the other side, when I was around wallstreet and saw these stupid kids sitting around, tie over the neck, picknicking healthy seafood with fat sauce - hopefully I'll find a man in the fiftees when I should need a surgery anywhen. Just in US but also in Germany they admire youngsters - as if they had something special. Young squirrels. (g) BTW - during our breakfast (it was a long break, we're in Spain here...) we enjoyed two british ladies - in near future Scott-ladies, like I read yesterday, the idea was born to cut up GB from the ground with a long steelwire, draw it over the ocean and fix it near Boston as a new US-state. At this time, Jean Connery could be elected the first Scott premier for getting back his 15k monthly he's spending now for the deliveration. I like these 5-million-nations, could be, my homecountry "Saarland" could achieve independence a few years later. (about 1 million people). However, one of these ladies took a piece from the bar, cut it along one side carefully - so that the other side still was uncutted, flipped it to a butterfly-formed thing and continued with butter and jelly. A "cräusent-platter" was born. So - we must search for another room, they here have still such elevators where the machine is in a small room above the elevator, working with old stuff like relais - incredible noise. All that for a range of 3 floors - it's a small nice building. Back to the past - I'd prefer to enter some floors by stairs. "Better love next time baby"! Jury
