How do you know if never been. I went in April, went scuba diving in subic bay and stopped over as convenient for clark airport. Didn't like it but hey, some do. It is a weird place.

<t>There is another tangential way of approaching this sort of thing, equally valid and, IMHO, easier.Look at number sold and life expectancy, assume sellers have public records. Still need underlying assumptions but can forget about no of street lamps, cars, houses, occupancy etc. you sold x, they ...

I did say you wouldn't save anything. Anyway, my better half doesn't have family to send money to so in clear there.

<t>Numerical answer is irrelevant (though some idiots put, ooh I dunno, maybe 20m, some others put less than 1 per person as they could carry 1 around, no crap, I put this sort of thing in grad exam and got something like that).Point is approach, can you make sensible assumptions, traden4alpha is on...

People are leaving now for Phillippines and India rather than coming in. Upshot of this i...

<t>Mate, think you need to chill out.Nobody has much of an objection to skilled people migrating and adding value, it is the mass influx of random family members and unskilled people who sponge of the state that is the issue, they often get better treatment and access to things than the local Brits ...

<t>Done a couple of ways.Simplistic way is multiply up the bid/offer spread, maybe different multples based on size. More complicated is figure out some unwind horizon and a confidence limit. There are others, they are all a finger in the air thing.Another point though, liquidity reserves as such ar...

<t>They kind of flow everywhere.Traders or their assistants book trades.Operations check booking details to trade confimations and reconcile between front and back office systems and stuff like cash accounts (nostros) to bank statements (though product control may do these).
