    $100 oil only months away

    I don't know what most folks here think of the theory, but it seems that the theory of Peak Oil is now becoming mainstream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil One analyst I really like: http://www.mcdep.com/

    IB and getting interest on the first 10K

    I meant to buy BIL with your last 10k in cash, and have the rest fully invested. Not such an easy strategy, but a "workaround" for that "last mile," if there is one.

    Buy today just before the close, or wait until Monday?

    Asia is down so far today (at about 1PM Tokyo time), but not hugely (1/3 to 2/3 of 1%)

    San Diego Trading Expo

    I was only able to visit the exhibitor stands (not the seminars). The biggest interest seemed to be generated by Vector Vest, who had decent-size crowds watching their demos. I was glad to meet the folks from TradeGuider (one of the trading tools that I use). There were quite a number...

    Bear Blowup Could Reignite Bull Market

    I was in management consulting (financial risk, hedging, etc.) for many years. During LTCM's implosion, I saw a memo at a very large international bank (to remain unnamed), which was an internal memo, about why the bank had been providing liquidity to certain hedge funds. This was a move that...

    IB and getting interest on the first 10K

    This partially answers your question- I have been buying the SPDR Lehman 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (symbol BIL). You are exposed to some extremely minor interest rate risk, but if you are holding it for any length of time, this should not be a problem. You can read more about it at...

    Is there pattern screeners?

    I believe that this service identifies certain stocks that have broken out - it's quite a bit cheaper at $7/month than others. It has a number of shortcomings (not the least of which is that you cannot easily create large lists of stocks), but the developer is supposed to be working on...

    I don't know anything about the background of this service, but I have often looked at it for candidates for trading (i.e. for further analysis): http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/StockRating/srstopstocksresults.aspx?score=10

    Tax Evasion and Money Laundering

    When your tax planning relies on secrecy, it is probably a bad idea. The strategies (business structures, etc.) should be sound, so that they would stand up to scrutiny. You obviously don't make them public, but if they fall apart if the IRS looks at them ... These websites might be of...

    Fed govt. to be running a SURPLUS in 09? (Thanks to inflation?)

    That is one bizarre website, connected to the reality of some different planet. It is easy to show a deficit or surplus, if you have the ridiculous accounting rules that our government has: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20070529/1a_lede29.art.htm

    IB customer service : VOTE 1 at 10

    I believe that it is the #1 request on IB's website, but it is annoying that they don't pay interest on the first $10,000 of cash. MB Trading and pretty much all others have a sweep money market vehicle where you can earn interest on any amount of cash. The cash above $10k earns interest...
