Chart of the Day -- Mace Security International, 1-minute Chart

There have been a number of these explosive movers in recent days: MACE, STEM, ISON, ADSX, etc. How do you catch them? First, you have to be a professional day trader who is watching the scanners every second. Second, you have to be able to pull the trigger in less than 24 milliseconds. Third, you have to be a little insane. ;-)

Henry's life a passion play, by Kevin Baxter:

An article on John Henry, owner of the Boston Red Sox.

"When nothing more than a stroke of luck saved him from losing his shirt in the soybean market, he tried to make sure that never happened again, spending nearly a year studying past market trends and another nine months testing his own theories using a hand calculator. When he became confident in his thinking, he began signing clients for a managed futures fund in 1982. Twenty-two years later, Boca Raton-based John Henry & Co., a $2.2 billion hedge-fund manager, is one of the largest companies of its kind in the world."

"... Archipelago plans to move one of its matching-engine systems to its New York data center. Some New York customers wanted their servers in-house, but they didn't want to lose even the time - that's 24 milliseconds today - it takes to round-trip a request to Archipelago's Chicago headquarters."

The Effect of Skilled Gamblers on the Success of Less Skilled Gamblers:

If I had a category named "Duh," I'd file this article there.

"... if all players are equally matched in skill, the outcome is random... if highly skilled players are introduced into a game, the less skilled players are more likely to lose."
