Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?

Sure you can always try to find an immediate cause, but as for the underlying reason: http://www.relfe.com/plus_5_.html

It's called limit up.

I don't know about YM, but I was unable to close my Euro futures position today. At the time, the open positions were being displayed on the account screen, but they had no value, P/L, or margin associated with them. Right now, I am waiting for TWS to log on. It's been sitting there for a few...

Once I started to understand love a little better, it all became much easier. I mean love in the sense of positive thinking or whatever you may call it. The bottom line (when it comes to interpersonal relationships) is this: Love is something you give, do, BECOME. When you love, you are...

Call me crazy, but the feed Interactive Brokers offers for free (if you spend $30 a month in commissions) is pretty succulent. Hehe, I remember when I first opened an account with them in 2001, all quotes were updated once every .7 seconds or something like that. In essence, it's the same now...

One of my friends was hired by that company in December of 2007. According to her, the company has approximately 1 client so far. The employees were promised a paycheck on the 1st of every month. Around January 1st, they were asked to be patient while the boss was going to talk to a...

Let's talk about that in 4 years, when US savings bonds will yield 15%+.

How do you get your quarterly estimate payment to be due on April 15th? I could be wrong, but last time I checked, it was due on April 1.

I don't think many ETers would doubt that gold will trade at 20000 within the next 30 years. It may well happen within the next 5 years. The simple fact remains that "these levels" are not really all that high. 5 to 10 years ago, when gold was trading around 300 or 400, food, gas, and pretty...

International banking is older than industrialization. The U.S. broke free from the Bank of England, but eventually it was incorporated back into the empire. The term "slow process," while accurate, seems insufficiently explicit. There seems to be a common misconception that a growing economy...

This seems like the argument they made when they eliminated the last remaining ties of the USD to gold. I have never understood how having too little gold on the planet would make it a bad currency. On the contrary, the less of it there is, the fewer milligrams you need for everyday purchases...

I'm sad to admit that we are talking about a low 3 figure account here. I have always been suspicious of bucket shops, therefore never risked much with OANDA. In this particular case, my account went from $132 to $255, then to $249 before I realized I was done. I feel so foolish now...

Take it or leave it, but here's how I did it: 1. Open up a EUR futures Booktrader window through Interactive Brokers. 2. Set your OANDA trading preferences to an automatic 1.9 pip stop and the trade size to 99% (using 50x leverage). 3. Sit and wait until you see the price move rapidly...

There is no question in my mind that the USD is never going to become worth much more, and it is always going to lose value (long term). This is obvious to anyone who understands the scam called fiat money. However, virtually all the currencies currently in use are fiat money just like the...

Considering that they are allowed to lend out just about $10 for every dollar they hold in deposits, the exact interest rates don't even matter all that much.

I don't need the personal forex trader, but I will require the trader faster. Let me just ask you two quick questions: 1. How much weight can I expect to lose, having the trader faster fast for me? 2. Can I pay you in Š or do you only accept Ê?

Replace income tax with a national sales tax. In the grand scheme of things, we don't need problems like income tax or world wars at all, but that would require a different thought process from what we have today: "No State shall [...] make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in...

It works beautifully.
