Life After Trading : Sky Captain
It’s hard to trade while plummeting from 30,000 feet at high speed ”” so Michael Romanek pulled the ripcord and bid the markets adieu
April/May 2007
www.traderdaily.com
Name: Michael Romanek
Age: 40
Location: London
Then: S&P 500 futures clerk at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (early 1990s); CME Eurodollar futures trader (1992–1995); short-term interest-rate futures spread trader at the LIFFE (mid-1990s)
Now: Skydiver, helicopter pilot, yachtmaster and scuba diver
Why he left trading: The decline of open-outcry sapped the profession of much of its charm. “I had to ask myself, ‘Do I really want to sit in front of a computer screen all day?’ When you’re on the floor, you can’t imagine being anywhere else.”
Life these days: After skydiving for the first time while on vacation in South Africa in February 2002, Romanek was hooked. He has since jumped from planes more than 300 times, including a dramatic plunge into last summer’s Hedgestock fund festival in England.
He’s still an advisor with the London-based ISG Group, but you’ll usually find him racing yachts, flying helicopters or plummeting from absurd heights ”” he’s one of only a few hundred civilians worldwide to have skydived from 30,000 feet.
Occupational Hazards: “Well, my life-insurance rates have tripled. But the way I see it, there are only so many hours in a day when you can kill yourself.”
What’s next: Romanek plans to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro this year and, in 2008, sail solo from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. “Someone e-mailed me and said, ‘Surely you’ll have a chase boat along, won’t you?’ I wrote back: ”If I had a chase boat, it wouldn’t exactly be solo, would it?’ ”

IMF says Zimbabwe inflation could hit 100,000 pct
Tue 31 Jul 2007
MAPUTO, July 31 (Reuters) - The IMF said on Tuesday that Zimbabwe's year-on-year inflation rate could reach over 100,000 percent by the end of the year.
"...If recent monthly trends continue, (IMF) staff projects that year-on-year inflation could well exceed 100,000 percent by year-end," Abdoulaye Bio Tchane, the IMF's Director of the African Development, told Reuters in an interview.
[Note: Inflation in Australia is about 2 pct]

Meditators predict Dow 17,000, near U.S. utopia
By Ayesha Rascoe / Reuters / Mon Jul 30, 2007
U.S. stocks had a tough week with the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffering its worst one-week point drop in five years, but a group of meditators promise their good vibrations will send the index past 17,000 within a year.
A group called the Invincible America Assembly made that claim and more on Friday, insisting they have America's prosperity under control and their positive vibes will bring fewer hurricanes and better U.S.-North Korean relations.
Through group transcendental meditation the assembly -- which has 1,800 people meditating daily in Iowa since it was formed in July 2006 -- releases harmonious waves which benefit all aspects of U.S. life, spokesman Bob Roth told Reuters.
And the group's leader, John Hagelin, said when that number reaches 2,500 within the next 12 months, America will see a major drop in crime and the virtual elimination of all major social and political woes.
Asked what it would take to achieve world peace, Hagelin said such a utopia would need 8,000 meditators.
The group takes credit for, among other things: the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a record high of 14,022 last week, unemployment rates falling to a six-year low at 4.5 percent, and North Korea shutting down its nuclear reactor.
It operates two facilities in Iowa, where followers practice several hours of transcendental meditation each day.
"This is not praying for peace, this is not sending out positive thoughts for peace," Roth said. "This is diving deep into one's own consciousness."
Hagelin compared the Assembly's use of transcendental meditation to the invention of electricity and other advances.
"We have control over things we didn't have control over before. That's the progress of science," Hagelin said.
And while most people may be skeptical of the ability of meditation to bring such change, Roth said the Assembly was not going to try to change people's opinions.
"We're not trying to convince anyone of anything," Roth said. "We're just doing it."
