Also, if anyone has more information on the risk of Nortel's bankruptcy in 2009, I'd appreciate knowing. Cheers.

I figure these will be banks and mortgage companies. Pretty obvious are ING in the etherlands and UBS and Credite Suisse in Switzerland, but I'm not sure of their respective exposures to RMBS. I'm not at all familiear with Danish banks. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

Where would I be able to find data about execution and assignment patterns for a certain stock's options, both call and put?

I was thinking about several levels of out-of the money put options on JPM to enhance leverage because JPM seems to have about 7 trillion of CDS. Any thoughts on the "if" part of my question, general positioning or specific ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

Enlightenment would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Has anyone noticed if topping patterns are evident in Asian markets, especially China? Thanks.

Some view its prospects as positive, others as negative. Does anyone have any views?? Thanks.

If so, could you provide an assessment of it in terms of its fees, functionality, ease of use, on-line and in person service, etc.? Thanks. Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:37:00 -0500 http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200801135bd4da/accessible-charting-services-for-blind-investors http://www.tickerhound.com/questions/detail/200801135bd4da/accessible-charting-services-for-blind-investors I'm totally blind. I'm also a relativenovice when it comes to investing. Many of you are Tycoon Report readers and may as well be subscribers to their premium services (e.g. Trend Rider and Point and Profit). I purchased Chris Rowe's Internal Strength system course, which I've found to be thoroughly fascinating. However, being blind, reliance on technical indicators and charts is difficult if not impossible owing to their graphical nature. In other words, the adapted computer I use to read information cannot read graphical information aloud; it can only read text aloud. So, givein my rather long-winded preface, would anyone happen to know of other blind investors who've addressed this situation or who know of any means of overcoming inaccessible charts or who may know of anyone who could help develop a system for making charting services accessible to the blind? Cheers and Thanks! Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:02:16 -0500
