What's the oldest stock exchange in the world?

The Stock Exchange in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, was
founded in 1602 for dealings in printed shares of the United
East India Company of the Netherlands.

Now before you think I have lost it, bear with me. You see I
talk with traders all day long either via email or on the
phone or even on skype (new fangled thing for speaking on
the internet).

What's is the highest share price for a stock ever?

On March 27, 2000, the share price for one share of Yahoo!
Japan stood at JPY120.4 million ($1.12 million). Yahoo!
Japan is the nation's dominant information portal, and the
scarcity of the stock contributed to the dramatic rise in
price. Japanese company Softbank owns 51.2% of the company,
with US-based Yahoo! owning 34.2% . Yahoo! Japan's share
price has increased 4,700% since December 1998.

As I was saying, I talk to a lot of traders, some new and
some very experienced. Some have very basic questions and
some have very technical question but they all want one
thing - information.

Which CEO had the highest annual earnings?

Lawrence J. Ellison, founder and CEO of Oracle Corporation
for 25 years earned $706,077,000 (477,886,294) in 2001
after exercising 23 million stock options that were granted
to him ten years earlier. Assuming a 40-hour workweek, this
is the equivalent of almost $340,000 an hour.

The problem of course is how do you find the right
information to help you solve a problem. How do you learn
more about trading without it costing you an arm and a leg?

How much did the most expensive monopoly set cost?

An exclusive $2 million (1.4 million) Monopoly set was
created by the jeweller Sidney Mobell, San Francisco, USA,
in 1988. The board is made from 23 carat gold, rubies and
sapphires top the chimneys of the solid gold houses and
hotels and the dice have 42 full cut diamonds for spots.

And that my friend was the point of this little exercise.
You see I got all these interesting little fact from the
Guinness World Records website because I knew where to look.

What if I told you there was a website that had more trading
information than any other website that I have ever seen and
that it contained some of the most precious trading
techniques and methods virtually no one else has.

Well, my little Jedi this website does in fact exist and a
select group of traders have been using it every month to
change how they trade.
