mBear, Thanks for the heads-up on the free week at Elliot Wave International. I think of Prechter and Roach (of Morgan Stanley) as being in the same category: very smart permabears who can provide valuable insights even if their opinion turns out to be wrong. And, I like Elliot Wave...

Cattle futures prices are up over 40% since the beginning of the third quarter and up over 15% since the beginning of the fourth quarter. I have not calculated the impact on MCD's costs, but that might be material, unless they can offset the cost increases by boosting the prices of Big Macs...

Volker, Yes. If you have a brokerage account with TS, the base platform fee is $99.95. If you exceed certain volumes (e.g., 250,000 share/month), then the base fee is waived for the next month. TS commissions are 1 cent for the first 500 shares (same as IB) and 0.6 cents above 500 shares...

None of the economists that Bloomberg surveyed were expecting Australia to raise rates at the recent meeting (a number were expecting a move in December). The Bank of England just raised its benchmark rate, as 42 of 45 economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected. The beginning of a new rate...

from Monday's WSJ: More than half of the third-quarter's sharp growth was caused by families spending tax-cut checks, according to calculations by money-management group Bridgewater Associates in Westport, Conn. Without tax-cut checks, Bridgewater figures, the economy would have grown 3.4%.

The Wall Street Journal Online Edition had this poll tonight: "Do you agree with the NYSE board's decision to seek Dick Grasso's resignation? Yes 706 votes (71%) No 293 votes (29%)"

Barrons would be my pick for a perceptive, market-savvy publication. (Of course, I'm not saying they are right all the time.)

Both IB and TradeStation do. Probably most direct access brokers do.

thanks for the link.

Htrader, I got the book, and I do half the business that you do. Keep checking your mailbox.

Hopefully for SAC, the curse of the BusinessWeek cover story will not hold true this time.

I went to his free seminar at the Online Trading Expo in NYC last winter. He was quite good. You can attend his seminar at the at the Online Trading Expo in Chicago this month. It seems like he is a regular, so he may do the same seminar in Las Vegas in November and in NYC next winter...

The indices' chart for June is beginning to look like a head and shoulders pattern to me.

def, Is the liquidity quote available on the OpenBook? Thanks.

I read "Trading in the Zone" last year. It is a good book. I tried to incorporate some of its gems into my trading and the cost of the book turned out to be a whole lot higher than the price at the bookstore. It did not fit my style (close, but not close enough). If it fits yours, I...

fortuna, good post!

Those futures are not subject to wash sale rules. (I don't know about single stock futures.) You can check the IRS website for wash sale rules, how to handle futures, etc. www.irs.gov
