Leave it to them to come up with another way to hose their investors, start a fund to then sell their own crap to. Pretty safe bet that any assets the fund buys from Citi will not be as 'undervalued' as the investors are being told.

AKA - Tuco Part 2 :D

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090322/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy I wouldn't normally comment on this sort of thing here, but this part really scares me: The whole Dem plan is based on this. I just see no way our economy is going to be looking good again in a year. Are they really this...

In case you missed this thread --> http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=155996 Based on the weird stuff happening there it seems safe to say AVOID any 'coaches' named Doug Allen or Patty DeMartin completely.

2nd that. Series 7 firms are incredible peace of mind. Here is the best thread about the subject I have seen, the first few pages at least, this was all discussed in great detail after Tuco - a large firm (tons of traders from ET) that did not require a Series 7 - was raided and shut down by...

The problem is, if he was a normal guy really looking to do what he says he is, there's noooo way he would have this fancy schmancy marketing email stuff that times the responses at certain intervals past when you sign up you get various form letters. This is a professional marketer of...

Echo would charge for marking errors, they used to, but maybe a few years back (not sure exactly when it was) they made a change to their software where if you mark it wrong when you send the order it changes to the right mark for you. If you have shares and mark it as short their software...

Maybe instead of in the stock market they should put an uptick rule in strip clubs, the more your dingaling upticks, the more you pay. :p

You are a disgrace to taxpayers, apparently you do not make much money or are a big beneficiary of the bailout. Living in a big house on our dime eh? I on the other hand DO pay a lot in taxes, am not receiving any money from the government (nor do I want any), and am pissed that my taxes are...

Hmmm, you say swing and my ears perk up. Any way we can add a video feed to watch all you swingers get together? :D

YES!!! Dougie returns to keep the fun alive! Just when you thought he was afriad to come back in the water... I just am waiting for him to tell 300 people, "Yes, I have selected you to trade my money. Now I just need you to send $5,000 to my Nigerian banker as a show of good faith and you...

bespoke's post above says it all best, just sort through all the samples and even those you will have to tinker with. As you will find, so much of writing code in this business just comes down to very time consuming trial and error, it is much more of an art than a science. If you are willing...

Not sure the strat but would recommend to you to NEVER trade unattended. I usually obviously try to avoid even bathroom breaks when my system is running, and if is not a quick #1 will shut down for even those. For me automation just started as a way to do what I did on a small group of...

Sterling ActiveX, but have found that you should only request 300-500 syms through one machine, depending on how active the symbols are you are looking at, so I use many logins to get all the syms I watch. I know there are better/more efficient methods out there, but I like the easy factor of it.

Don't know why they wouldn't respond, every big trader starts as a small one. Would be very surprised if you said Echo was one of the ones that did not respond, they seem to go way above and beyond for automated guys, they even have test servers that you can run automated stuff against to get...

Sometimes I chat with my dog. Once, I left my house and chatted with a woman at the store. That scared me. Now I order all my food in and tape cash to the door and have them leave it outside.

I wonder if that's also why Cramer's show is after the market, Dorfman used to do it midday which would immediately have that impact on the stock. There were also times Dorfman would crush a stock by saying negative things about it. I agree he was more entertaining, I was actually kind of...

Oh wow, great link you found. Figured other people out there had to be seeing the resemblance also. 41 doesn't seem old in the normal world, but have found that in the trading world and on these boards there are a lot of young 20-somethings, so here I think we are dinosaurs. :)

You have to be pretty old to remember this, but before Cramer there was Dan Dorfman on CNBC (early 90s), and he used to come out touting stocks in such a similar way to Cramer. Don't exactly remember the outcome, but there was a federal probe into his pushing stocks around for profit and they...

Yeah, as much as I hate putting myself out there speaking out for or against any firm, am thinking about putting up a positive review for them in the brokers section because I know there are a ton of guys here that are happy, none of them ever look at the brokers section I think or more of them...
