Where the hell is the volume this week? 320k ES contracts as of 11am.

Not exactly a success story, more like a lesson learned. I bought TransSwitch (TXCC) when i first started trading in 2001. I saw some hack on Bloomberg talking about it like it was the next MSFT and the lady on Bloomberg was fawning over this guy's talking up the company's future earnings. She...

WTF . . . ??

Another Bush vs. another Clinton in 2016. Write-in candidates may gather more votes than the principals.

From what I understand, RBOB is the price of unleaded minus taxes, delivery, station profits, etc. So my question is - how can stations here in Phoenix be selling gas at 1.759 when RB is trading (today) at 1.33, when federal taxes are 18c and AZ state taxes are 19 for a total of 37c. And today's...

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.' She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as...

Very true, Handle. When I tell people I'm a daytrader they look at me like I'm crazy, assuming great risks, etc. Yet to me, people who hold overnight and are at the mercy of company news and world events are the ones assuming the risk. I can't sleep at night unless I'm in all cash at the...

After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.” “Now ... We have an $800,000...

Jaybird was at home, nude, happily jumping on our bed and squealing with delight. I watched her for a while and asked..... "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What's the matter with you?" She continued to bounce on the bed and said.... "I don't care what you think. I just...
