    Alan Farley in Dallas at AfTA on 4/19/11

    Farley still trades from home every day. Farley writes for Cramer's outfit (TheStreet.com), going on 10 years. A good share of the criticism about the book's writing style is justified. I didn't ask to write it. McGraw Hill came to me in 1999 because they saw me at a trading show and wanted...

    FTT dies an overdue death today, as the bitch concedes defeat. Anything Wall Street related that's not in the finreg bill has 0% prospects, especially after the November tsumani that's going to hit the O. Admin.

    <What qualifies her to have opinions on financial matters?> She has perky nips. That qualifies her, as long as all her political statements are made live, with appropriate back-lighting.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    there is no populist rage. almost all the rage these days comes from the right. the left constituency, ie poor and unemployed, just bends over and takes it. if there was a real populist rage, we would have seen it from the uninsured with the health care bill. They are missing in action. no...

    Democrats now officially pushing transaction tax according to Erin Burnet

    most countries showed no support when gordon brown pushed the FTT at the last G20 meeting. IF (big IF) the US passed it and others did not, I'll trade through whatever foreign center lets me. If the US says I still have to pay, I'd look at living elsewhere. There's a great worldwide trading...

    <I enjoyed Alan Farley for entertainment but was disappointed with no real content. I think with Alan's confident manner and delivery he would make a good stand up comic.> Farley's problem is he hasn't held back too many "secret strategies" to whip out at trading expos. Just be thankful he...

    Sager notebooks

    I run my Sager 12 lb monster 16 hours a day at home and it hasn't rebooted in the 4 months I've had it. It worthless on airplanes but I wanted something for a hotel room and its like taking your desktop. The fan is noisy on a 3.06 because it variable, and kicks on and off all day. I'd also...

    Crap and Hardrightedge

    For all its warts and bruises Elite is still a unique resource. I refer traders here all the time, especially when they have serious questions that need to be answered. As for why the link isn't there, I'll be damned if I can remember where it was or why it was pulled. Maybe Barron and I were...
