    Barron's (Subscriber question)

    I sub'd several years ago and no, it didn't always arrive Sat. It is only printed in certain large urban areas, like LA, and in my case it had to "get on the truck" by early o'clock and travel 3 hours to my post office in time to get stuffed in the box before about 11:00 am. It didn't...

    Equity markets will close up

    According to recent sadistics... ...98% of all ET posters make money consistently in up or down markets, and the average is $8,457 per day. They won't say what the exact methods and circumcisions are, but they NEVER have losing trades! :p

    Is Cramer Just a Moron, his calls on INTC

    I admit he can be entertaining, but his viewer numbers will drop just as soon as we have an extended market downturn. Even the best market tactition and stock picker (and Cramer sure as hell isn't the best!) is only a little better than random and struggles to beat the indices. As pick after...

    Options Executions and Brokers?

    Sorry, but the facts are Barron's gives OX the best for Browser-based. And as expected, IB wins for SW-based. IB is the best, hands down, for experienced retail option traders that need NO hand-holding. - Much cheaper commission - Consistently better fills - Better platform - More...

    Why PYTHON?

    Another systems trader bites the dust? :confused: I don't get it. These guys (me too) spend untold hours designing, testing and trading these systems, then they go to work for a HF and have to stop trading (think Acrary)??? Well hell, there is a sizey paycheck and bonus, but I...

    Sale Soft & Books

    "It is illegal to copy and re-distribute this software..." I know for a fact that Wealth-Lab is hardware keyed to only run on the original buyers machine. Otherwise it is an illegal cracked copy, or it is just a scam. Try going to the Russian "authorities" to get your money back! Oh, I...

    Sale Soft & Books

    This illegal hacked, cracked and copied stuff pisses me off. Do something original and actually WORK for a living! I have sent this message to most of the copyright holders in this list and I'll send it to the NY Times, WSJ and Market Watch. It's as easy to do as spamming this crap! You're...

    Shld?

    Speaking of short sale homeruns, has anybody caught a complete run to zero? Didn't I read somewhere that if you were short and the stock went under, since you never had to buy it back, you never had to show a complete trade and mark the basis on your Sched D? Pure profit? This doesn't...

    Shld?

    Doesn't SHLD mostly just sell closed Sears and Kmart stores? Seems like they will eventually run out of good properties to sell, then they'll actually have to profit from their remaining stores? Yeah, not too many people in our Kmart or Sears stores. They're all over at Target, Sams...

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    I think it actually settles after ALL SP stocks open, so it can be a bit off from the SPX Friday Open #s. Options are a pain in the a$$ if you have positions open at expiration... The exercise-settlement value, SET, is calculated using the opening (first) reported sales price in the...
