An inbound call centre service involves handling incoming calls made by the pre existing and new clients regarding queries or placing orders of the products being promoted. Outsourcing inbound call centre services give the organizations enough time to focus on the core functions of the companies, concentrate on expanding the businesses &amp; reaching to targeted market that directly or indirectly leads to profits.
"And what's wrong with lower cost? What makes you entitled to higher wage when someone can do it for lower cost?  Why do you like eating like a king in from pre industrial era? Why do you not like paying fortune for bacons? Call it use or abuse. That's how it always have worked and made capitalism so successful.  I didn't claim ""in ideal economy"". I said in competitive market. There are many industries that are competitive.  Many of them have shown that outsourcing portion of IT is the right move. Even Cloud platform such as Azure and AWS are replacement of some IT work traditionally done.  Free trade of goods and services(barring externalities and risks) are econ 101. If you don't get it, I suggest you take up a reading on Ricardian Theory.   Honestly, I was lucky to have a good professor go over it with me."
Anyone with a background in finance should have been well aware that the government would swoop in with a bailout of the major banks. Such a scenario was even discussed in money and banking textbooks pre financial crisis.   Since I have no excess cash,  and wad in senior year of college, I was unable to capitalize on that, but I did invest in the banks in market simulating games 😁
Yeah sure so the ability to make money diminishes as you talk about more liquid products.  How does anyone going into BBIB trading prepare themselves if stealing bips in this manner is  so different from trading prop?
Insider trading is when you buy or sell an investment based on material, non-public information that gives you an unfair advantage over the rest of traders in that market.  Working for a company is one way that you might have such information, but whether it is insider trading is not contingent on you working there. You could use that information a long time after leaving the company. You don't even need to have worked there. If a friend/relative gave you non-public information because THEY work there, it is still insider trading.
"&gt; no one knows because a QE program of this size has never ever been unwound.   The Japanese know.  Admittedly, they're not the Fed, but they're targeted to compose ~8% of the SDR through 2020 (down by way over half from their pre ""lost decade""s).  The Japanese ended up with their central bank directly participating in the stock market.  When central banks are the arbiter of market efficiency, you end up with distortions, a la Kobe Steel.    Good luck with that, America."
Ofc it's for cost. Either better cost but lower talent or better cost and same talent.  That's my point for Ricardian theory.  At 4 percent, its hard to say many are out of jobs. Perhaps they are holding out for higher salary than what market thinks they deserve.  Regardless, there is nothing wrong with companies looking for lower cost. That's capitalism and that's what allows you to have better breakfast than kings did pre industrial.

You would have to collect an awful lot to make it profitable. The melting process alone will cost an arm and a leg. Go silver hunting with rolls of Half dollars. You might strike it lucky with rolls of Kennedy's. Its good fun too :) 1964 Kennedy's 90% silver 1965-1970 Kennedy's 40% silver I go looking on ebay collecting for typo errors on pre 1920's British silver coinage. Picked up a George 3rd 1816 Shilling for £3....worth £30....but even if your doing it just for the silver content, you can pick up a real bargain. Just think of how your going to offload them. Here in the UK its easy because there is a huge market for Numismatic coins.
How to break 90                     Golf is a lifelong pursuit that will always challenge, may entertain, and will almost certainly frustrate at times.  For most players, golf scores similar to those consistently seen from our favorite pros may be unattainable.  A more reasonable goal for most is to find a way first to routinely break 90, but how do you get there?  A few regular adjustments will provide the best opportunities to do so. Pre shot routine: Every golfer needs a pre shot routine that happens every time you approach the ball. For example, during practice always visualize a target; plan your shot and try to see the outcome. Take one or two practice swings to get a feel for the stroke before you step to the ball. The key to this is consistency, if it happens every time you can begin to take the guesswork out of your game Golf.   Practice more than you play: Don’t try to fix your mistakes on the back nine. When you are on the course you shouldn’t be thinking about how to correct your stroke, grip, stance etc. In fact, if you’ve done the work off the course, you shouldn’t have to think about much at all; trust your muscle memory to do what you have practiced.  Practice the minimum: To perfect any physical skill, it is important to focus on the smallest amount of information possible at one time. You cannot simultaneously pay attention to the plane of your stroke while thinking about the weight on your left foot and refining your grip. Try to pick one small thing to focus on at one time and work it into your muscle memory. Practicing the minimum will allow you to stop thinking about each factor of the game while on the course. Again, the goal of this process is to make your motions automatic, effortless and fluid.  Care less:  It may seem counterintuitive but when you step onto the golf course, the more invested you are in each shot, the less you can rely on the hard work you have put into your game during practice. Do the work on the driving range so that you don’t need to worry about it when you need it. http://www.ColeGolf.ie
Getting about a dollar more per day is the difference between starving and not starving for many people. If you compare that to the alternative without globalization, that is: not getting a dollar a day and starve, that's good. The author isn't comparing globalization with pre globalization, he's comparing globalization with his fantasy, and calling the reality outside of his fantasy a lie. What a visionary.  And I'm so bloody tired of people not understanding resources. If these 63 people would throw their money to the poor that wouldn't make food magically appear, that would just make food prices go up, leaving the poor with as much food, but a bunch of useless paper-scraps as well.  for the 100:th time: communism doesn't work.
Single payer health care, aka socialized, has been shown to be superior. If you haven't noticed we already do the free market thing. That is why insurers have been booting people with pre existing conditions and hospitals and pharma companies hugely jacking up the rates. Epi pens are up over 700% from a few years ago. Martin Shrekli bought rights to a life saving drug and jacked the prices astronomically. The free market works great for consumer products and services, but when it comes to services that are meant to benefit society, the free market does a horrendous job. Health care in other counties' goal is to provide adequate health care for the lowest cost. Here it is trying to charge people as much as they can get away with and marginalizing those that can't afford. And funny enough you are paying more for health care in your taxes than in any other country in ADDITION to your private insurance for lower quality care so the pharma execs can increase their share prices.

"Full employment is a joke. Look at the [labor force participation rate](https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000) most gains in income are being seen with the top ~1%. Most people who have ""recovered"" are referring to the stock market. Which has seen tremendous growth. But IMO this is due to a lack of places to put money. Sure some people lost their jobs and now have one but I wouldn't say that on average we are any better off than pre 08."
Pre tax insurance is not possible unless the emplyer provides hsa and do a payroll deduction. Obamacare is all post tax and you can do deduction if your expenses exceeds 10%of your income
I work at BATS Chi-X Europe and wanted to provide some clarity/answers to these questions. BATS Chi-X Europe is a Recognised Investment Exchange, so it is indeed a stock exchange. Sometimes the term “equity market” could be used when explaining our business, but essentially we are a stock exchange. As some background, BATS Chi-X Europe was formed by the acquisition of Chi-X Europe by BATS Trading in November 2011. At the time of the acquisition, each company operated as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) for the trading of pan-European equities via a single trading platform. The category of MTF was introduced by MIFID (markets in Financial Instrument Directive) in 2007, which introduced competition in equities trading and allowed European stocks, to be traded on any European platform. Until 2007, many European stocks had to be traded only their local exchanges due to so-called “Concentration Rules”. Following the acquisition, BATS Chi-X Europe became the largest MTF in Europe, offering trading in more than 2,000 securities (2,700 securities by September 2013) across 15 major European markets, on a single trading platform. In May 2013, BATS Chi-X Europe received Recognised Investment Exchange status from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, meaning that BATS Chi-X Europe has changed from an MTF status to full exchange status. In response to question 1: The equities traded on BATS Chi-X Europe are listed on stock exchanges such as the LSE but also listed on the other European Exchanges. The term “third party” equities is not particularly useful as all stock trading in Europe is generally a “second hand” business referred to as “secondary market” trading. At the time of listing a firm issues shares; trading in these shares after the listing exercise is generally what happens in equity markets and these shares can be bought and sold on stock exchanges across Europe. Secondary market trading describes all trading on all exchanges or MTFs that takes place after the listing. In response to question 2: BATS Chi-X Europe trades over 2,700 stocks on its own trading platform. When trading on BATS Chi-X Europe, orders are executed on their own platform and will not end up of the LSE order books or platform.
It depends on how you define trading.  If you're looking at day-trading, where you're probably going to be in a highly-leveraged position for minutes or hours, the automated traders are probably going to kill you.  But, if you have a handful (less than a dozen) equities, and spend about an hour or so every week conducting research, you have a good chance of doing pretty well. You need to understand the market, listen to the earnings calls, and understand the factors that contribute to the bottom line of your investments.  You should not be trading for the sake of trading, you're trading to try to achieve the best returns. Beware of dogmatists and people selling products that align with their dogma. Warren Buffet invests in companies for an extremely long investment window. Mr. Buffet also expends significant resources to gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of the businesses that he invests in and the factors affecting those fundamentals. Buffet does not buy an S&P 500 index fund and whistle dixie.
What the automation mostly does is make short-term trading that much more difficult. Day trading is a zero-sum game, so if they win more, everyone else wins less.  Long term trading (years to decades) is a positive-sum game; the market as a whole tends to move upward for fairly obvious reasons (at its basis it's still investing, which in turn is based on lending, and as long as folks make fairly rational decisions about how much return they demand for their investment and the companies are mostly producing profits there will be a share of the profit coming back to the investors as dividends or increased share value or both. Day-to-day churn in individual stocks gets averaged out by diversification and time, and by the assumption that if you've waited that long you can wait a bit longer if necessary for jitters to settle out. Time periods between those will partake of some mix of the two.
"I made my statement in reference to another user saying ""there is no indication of [uber tracking you pre and post ride]"" I said that the uber app having your location when its opened pre-ride as evidence that uber tracks your location post ride and pre ride  You said it's not.  So unless you want me to open up uber to show that it knows my location upon opening without me ordering a ride I'm not sure what you are looking for.   In other words I stated that the sky is blue, you asked me to state why I think the sky is blue.   Your repeated attempts at drawing some grand pedantic argument are intriguing though"
"With (1), it's rather confusing as to where ""interest"" refers to what you're paying and where it refers to what you're being paid, and it's confusing what you expect the numbers to work out to be. If you have to pay normal interest on top of sharing the interest you receive, then you're losing money. If the lending bank is receiving less interest than the going market rate, then they're losing money. If the bank you've deposited the money with is paying more than the going market rate, they're losing money. I don't see how you imagine a scenario where someone isn't losing money. For (2) and (3), you're buying stocks on margin, which certainly is something that happens, but you'll have to get an account that is specifically for margin trading. It's a specific type of credit with specific rules, and you if you want to engage in this sort of trading, you should go through established channels rather than trying to convert a regular loan into margin trading. If you get a personal loan that isn't specifically for margin trading, and buy stocks with the money, and the stocks tank, you can be in serious trouble. (If you do it through margin trading, it's still very risky, but not nearly as risky as trying to game the system. In some cases, doing this makes you not only civilly but criminally liable.) The lending bank absolutely can lose if your stocks tank, since then there will be nothing backing up the loan."
So the answer is: If we are long gamma (convexity of an option) it simply means we are betting on higher volatility in the underlying asset(in your case the VIX). Really that simple? Well kinda, to fully understand how this works you really need to understand the math behind it. But yes being long gamma means being long volatility. An example of being ""long gamma"" is a ""long straddle"" Side Note: I personally do trade the VIX and it can be very volatile, you can make or lose lots of money very quickly trading VIX options. Some resources: What does it mean to be ""long gamma"" in options trading?

If you're talking about an ETF trading on Arca, it's probably because of the opening auction: The match price is the price that maximizes the volume that can be executed within the Auction Collars. The Core Open Auction will use the match price closest to the closing price of the previous trading day (based on normal market hours) if more than one indicative match price is valid. The core opening auction doesn't really take the opening session activity into account, as you can see - the market runs an auction and whatever price clears the most volume, within certain limits, is the opening print.
"On broad strokes, the market does ""work properly."" I invest in bio  and spend a lot of time in front of trial research, reports, pipeline procedure, and various catalysts. I can tell you that you have absolutely no idea how much damage would be done if the FDA was not involved in the pipeline. None. Your attitude is naive at best but is obviously more likely the result of an exhausted political viewpoint. I'm tired of this ""magic hand"" garbage. It never worked. It doesn't work. It will not work. It won't work. Got it? Do you understand this?"
"The fact that you can't see how ""insider trading"" isn't an oxymoron, because it does not contradict itself, is absolutely astonishing. And then you have the balls to call someone else dumb, all while claiming you can beat the market with your superior intellect.  Amazing.  &gt;How the fuck do you think these hedge funds and investment banks can offer almost 50% returns during these times in our economy???  Why don't you show me an investment bank earning a ""50% return""? In fact, do you even know what investment banks do?"
"Remember the 1st Law of Technical Analysis: ""For every analysis there exists an equal and opposite analysis.""  And the 2nd Law of Technical Analysis: ""They're both wrong."" Technical analysis in the absence of hard data is just a lot of hand-waving meant to dazzle CNBC viewers and rope would-be day traders into paying for colored-plot-filled trading platforms. How, mathematically, do you define a bull trap?  Does the lead in trendline have to have a certain minimum/maximum slope?  Does the trough have to be below/above a certain percentage of the peaks?  Does the entire period have to encompass less/more than a certain number of trading days?  Etc. Before you attempt to use such an analysis to predict the future direction of a stock price you need to be able to answer the above questions (and more) rigorously.  Only then can you test your definition against historical stock movements to see whether it has predictive power.  If it doesn't have predictive power, then you start over or tweak your definition until it does. Notice that once you're done with all of the above work you are no longer doing technical analysis and are now doing statistics!"
Tons of resources out there for you. Look up guides on wallstreetoasis, vault, or mergersandinquisitions. Think of it this way. People tied to market hours aka trading floors have the best work life balance. The people working extreme hours are those in IB. Those are the guys doing M&amp;A, IPOs, debt issuances etc.
"FX trading platforms are not used for exchanging money, they are used for trading currencies. ""I know there are cheaper services like transferwise, charging about 0.5 %, but there is little/no control over the exchange rate, you just get the rate at the time of execution."" With FX trading you don't have control of the exchange rate either, just like the share market, FX markets are determined by supply and demand of one currency over an other. So an individual does not have control over the exchange rate but will just get the rate at the time of the trade being executed."
Most accredited universities have the same number of Gen eds for every major. I said it was different at every school and you have yet to point out a chain of five pre reqs that would prevent him from doing it in two years.
That doesn't sound like valid logic. If there were sufficient roi for the automation work, it will happen sooner or later. They would hire more people, full time or consultants, to do it. Wouldn't algorithmic trading be a separate and more specialized skill set than robotic process automation?
Candlesticks and TA are a relic of pre-computer trading, period. Market makers use sophisticated algorithms not for trading, but manipulations.
If you have a great technical trading system that gets you winning trading 80-85% of the time in backtesting, the question should be why are you not trading it? To get a better idea of how good your trading system is you should work out your expectancy per trade. This will tell you how much you should make on average for every trade you take. Expectancy not only considers your win rate but also you win size to loss size ratio. For example if you are getting winning trades 80% of the time but your average win size is $100, and your 20% of losses average $500, then you will still be losing money. You should be aiming for an average win size of at least 2.5 to 3 times you average loss size. This will provide you a profitable trading system even if your win rate is 50%. If your trading system is really that good and provides a win size of at least 2.5 times your loss size then you should be actively trading it. Also, if you put your trading system out there in the public domain together with your trading results you will actually find that, quite opposite to what the consensus above is, your results from your trading plan should actually improve further. The more people acting on the outcome of a signal in the same direction the higher the probability that the movement in the desired direction will actually occur. If you are looking to make money from your trading ideas, no one will pay anything unless you have real results to back it up. So if you are so confident about your system you should start trading it with real money. Of course you should start off small and build it up over time as your results eventuate as per your simulations.
