"I Trade Size"
A cartoon that pretty much explains it all. "I provide liquidity if you must know. That's what I am, a liquidity provider." "I will tell you what you are. You are a f#*$&% gambler." "Size. I trade size."

I trade size is the best response to 'what do you trade'
Put the ZH logo on a bear, I Trade Size on the back, and I'll buy a tee shirt to represent.
agreedo
Liquidity, bichez.
OMG!
Not the fucking "bitchez"word again!
It's not funny anymore. It stopped being funny months ago.
It's worn out, dead, leave it alone.
Get a fucking thesaurus!
Does "Glitchez" offend you?
Nice Tyler,grazie!

Shush up bitch!!!...er...srry.. mistress
Bitchez pretty much makes me laugh all the time. Apparently I have a fairly low humor threshold.
same.
Its part of the culture here, like it or not. I personally love it. Thx to CheekyBastard wherever the hell you are now.
+1. Never stops being funny.
You've only been here for three months so "bitchez" predates you by well over a year. You lose.
Owned
Stop yer bitchin....no one is forcing you to be here.
Bitchez!!
Bullshit. "Bitchez" will alwayz be funny. Bitch.

"I'm an integral part of the fucking market place..." ROFLMAO!!
That was my favorite too. A T-shirt in the making for sure.
This text-to-movie thing can produce some funny shit. Another music geek friend sent me one where that guy's (teddy bear's?) wife is balling him out about his digital music hoarding and hard drive buying habit. The dead-pan computer voice and lack of inflection is just killer...
"I provide liquidity"
Haaa! Haaa! And we believe this!?
The vampire squid says:
"If God did not want them sheared,
He would have not made them sheep"
What is it you do Tyler?
Well, Tylers can answer that one if they wish, but is it not clear to you that they operate a web site?
Could you please phrase your question again in the form of a cartoon?
So that's how Geico made that commercial in 15 seconds.
No body language, no discernible tone inflection, no cultural, racial, tribal elements to your seed your bias. Just down to the words. The anti-propaganda. brilliant.
There are lots of these... never considered why I tend to like them so much... you nailed it.

Dec10 silver 29.01 !!!
I love the ears.
BTW a mighty battle has commenced at Gold $1,424. May the best man win.
i provide liquidity except when there is none at which point i insist that the fed hit my bids and lift my offers
Hey, if you're liquid, I'd be glad to hit your bids and lift your offers.
I love that it is a woman giving the guy shit...this just wouldn't have worked if it were two guys.
Funny shit!
The stock traders in the early stock market in London in the 18th century didn't like market makers. They thought it was dodgy and not reputable to simultaneously offer to buy or sell the same stock.
I know. Let's create a social system in which the majority, who don't understand any particular profession, gets to vote to make up rules to control it, tax it, or ban it! I bet it gets more and more stable as fields become more specialized!
Oh wait...
Let me clarify something. Today, we don't have a free market. Increasingly, every aspect of production, finance, and trade is centrally controlled and planned. This creates opportunities to game the system, exploit perverse incentives, rely on moral hazard like the Greenspan Put, etc. In today's system, there are lots of capital-destroying activities which are profitable, and those who profit from them subtract value from society as a whole.
In a free market, one does not make money by destroying other people's capital.
LOL
I can't stand it when people talk about me that way. Sitting at home in my blue jeans - fucking gambling - no benefit to society. Hey!!! I did call my Congressman on Friday and tell him to can Bernanke and Geithner, and repudiate all of the Fannie and Freddie paper which explicitly states on its cover that it is not implicitly backed by the federal government (see about 50 Denninger blogs on that matter). No benefit to society??? At least I know that I am being sheared, whilst the other 99% of the population is clueless. I buy Canadian oil stocks which helps push the dollar down, and that is what Ben wants, isn't it???
Attended a conference at the FDIC yesterday. Laurie Goodman says that 14.1% of mortgages are not paying and forecasts 7 million to be forced out of their homes. Read the Congressional testimony here:

Edit: Long ago and far away, I was a Registered Rep (aka broker). I held a NASD Series 66 license (pre FINRA but I think it still has the same designation - "66"). I took the exam cram course from a former Ivan Boesky trader. His advice to us should we be queried at a cocktail party as to the meaning of our existence....."You provide liquidity."
Next time the Bitchez ask you what worth is that, ask them if we all wouldn't be better off if the TBTF's SIVs were liquid, or if second liens were liquid (price discovered), or if the foreclosure market was a little more liquid.
I don't give a rat's ass if ppl gamble or speculate as long as they keep the LOSSES as well as the gains. The government backstopping gamblers with money stolen from individuals is what's utter bullshit.
^ this
Someone hates day traders and is long the housing market.
+5
LOL. A Total Riot!
Really damn funny because I'm wearing shorts and flip flops.
Now the unfunny part is that I'm the one doing the research, trading on my own dime, and the government is trying to rip me off at every turn.
You freaks who think we are better off w/o hedge funds can just take your 401k fees up the rear and earn your -8% annualized return. Enjoy!
I feel f'king amazed that people are laughing at the dude in the clip when what he said made more sense than the stupid chick.
I mean, doing research on house prices and buy it at the right time and the right place?? Yeah, right
lol, I think they are both being mocked
Oh me. Oh my.
Remember when former hedge fund trader, John "Breck Girl" Edwards promised that if elected President, he would punish us all because we weren't going out into the traffic and paying for gasoline, etc. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
Classic
Lol. Great video. Am forwarding this to a few friends who will no doubt take personal offence!
Trading not a bit different than poker, horses, sports betting.
If they can't come to terms with that , tell them to see a shrink.
We were laughing at it for a long time on the floor of the CME/CBOT. I trade f*($(%g size. Great line. mpw
