After a personal fight against lack of attention, a very needy dog and a jealous cat I read again "The Stockbroker's Clerk" translated by María Engracia Pujal and finally I could compare both versions but...

In Spanish I couldn't notice Pycroft's Cockney accent because ACD wrote his accent through the use of some expressions instead of any pronunciation marks. For example "I used to have a billet at Coxon & Woodhouse's" was translated as "Estaba empleado en Coxon & Woodhouse" that can be read as "I was employed at Coxon & Woodhouse's", and sadly those little details are missing in the translation.

Just for fun: if I translate this using informal speach I would translate as "Curraba en Coxon & Woodhouse" (Spaniard Spanish), "Tenía una pega en Coxon & Woodhouse" (Chilean Spanish) or "Tenía un laburo en Coxon & Woodhouse" (Argentinian Spanish).

Also: I'm Chilean, so this couldn't be so accurate (｡･･｡)

The Stock-Broker's Clerk

I recently bought the Leslie Klinger annotated versions, but am trying to avoid looking at them as they have spoilers for the whole canon and also to avoid deliberate copying.

So, here we go:

This is the fourth short story from Memoirs and the 16th overall.

St Vitus's dance is a form of chorea, either Sydenham's chorea or Huntington disease. Klinger thinks it's the latter as is the former is more common in children. In any event, random jerky movements is not good for a doctor.

The British Medical Journal has been going since 1840 and is now called The BMJ. It has an online archive if you're interested.

London Euston to Birmingham New Street took around two hours and ten minutes in 1888. Today you can do the trip in an electric, tilting train in around 80 minutes. I will make no comment about HS2. Both stations are very different from their Victorian appearance due to controversial 1960s rebuild jobs.

Lombard Street was historically home to bank head offices; most of these have moved out, sometimes to their own tower blocks.

E. C. refers to the Eastern Central postcode area, which covers nearly all the City of London, plus some bits of surrounding boroughs.

Venezuela has a historical habit of defaulting on its loans. Leslie Katz in a 2020 article (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2473500 - spoilers for future stories) thinks this story is 1893 because of the RL default in 1892.

We get a bit of casual antisemitism here - a guy is described as having a slightly Jewish nose.

The City of London had and still has its own separate police service, along with its own unique local government, Lord Mayor etc. Its low permanent population led to Booth leaving it off his poverty maps.

As Klinger points out, Watson is using a contemporary method of CPR called the Silvester method to revive Beddington.

Is Night Trading Beneficial? Introduction

Pros of Night Trading

Extended Trading Hours: One of the primary advantages of night trading is the extended trading hours it offers. Traditional stock markets have set hours, typically from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, limiting opportunities for some traders due to work or other commitments. Night trading allows individuals to participate in the market after their daytime responsibilities.

Reacting to After-Hours News: Breaking news and events often occur after regular trading hours. Night trading allows you to respond quickly to these developments, potentially taking advantage of significant price movements that may follow.

Reduced Competition: Night trading typically involves lower trading volumes and reduced competition compared to daytime trading. This can lead to less market manipulation and more stable price movements, providing a favorable environment for certain trading strategies.

Cons of Night Trading

Increased Volatility: While lower trading volumes can reduce competition, they can also result in increased price volatility during after-hours trading. This heightened volatility can lead to larger spreads and higher trading costs, making it riskier for some investors.

Limited Liquidity: Reduced liquidity is a significant concern in night trading. Limited buyers and sellers in the market can result in wider bid-ask spreads, making it challenging to execute large orders without significant price impact.

Gaps and Slippage: Trading at night carries the risk of experiencing “gaps” in prices when markets open the next day. Traders may also encounter “slippage,” where their orders are executed at a different price than expected due to rapid price changes during illiquid periods.

Potential for Reduced Access: Not all securities are available for night trading, and even when they are, there may be restrictions or limitations. Additionally, some brokerage platforms may charge higher fees for night trading.

Conclusion

The decision to engage in night trading should be based on your individual investment goals, risk tolerance, and trading strategy. While it offers extended trading hours and the potential to react to after-hours news, night trading also carries risks such as increased volatility, limited liquidity, and potential gaps in prices. Therefore, it’s essential to carefully evaluate whether night trading aligns with your financial objectives and to consider consulting with a financial advisor.

In summary, night trading can be beneficial for some traders, but it’s crucial to approach it with caution and a clear understanding of its advantages and drawbacks. By doing so, you can make informed decisions about when and how to participate in the after-hours trading market.

I wanted to do an analysis of the last letter from Watson with the first part of "The Stockbroker's Clerk" but I spent almost all day without electricity due to wind. I just want to see how Cockney accent is translated to Spanish... ( ╥ω╥ )

(At least I read the letter with candles and drinking loose leaf tea like a victorian)
