I do not believe that they are exempted anymore.

Since option market-makers can no longer go short stock ( as a hedge ) without an uptick, this must be factored into implied volatility. This will have an effect on the VIX.

Yes, you are. How do you think these inverse ETF's actually reflect the inverse of the actual index?

The VIX is heavily skewed right now to tomorrow's Triple-Witch expiration.

WSJ says that the SEC is contemplating "approving" such a rule. Amazing.

Good job Mup! By the way, a minor Bradley Cycle comes in Saturday, Sept. 20th. Next big one isn't until early December. :cool:

They are not ticking time bombs unless you come into a financial environment that is under the greatest stress since the Great Depression. :)

Very true. As a percentage of GDP, this number is not all that big, and well under the average for the past 45 years. Bottom line: Hedge yourself by buying some LMT or LLL. It is a great performing sector. :)

One of the greatest trading vehicles in the oil patch with supreme liquidity. Check it out. :)

This is stupid. How many pension funds like Calpers are invested in equities using a margin account? Think people, THINK!

This index continues to ROCK!!! took out yesterday's lows at 150.00 and came back into the range for yet another huge run up to 155.76 :cool:

Looks like he gets something on the "cheap" once again, this time for $26.50 per share. http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/080918/constellation_midamerican.html?.v=5 :)

Try DTN's "IQ-Feed". I had absolutely zero problems keeping up today, as well as yesterday. I have their Level-1 equity quotes fed through Quotetracker for all of my charting and portfolio pages. Only costs me $45 per month + the $4 exchange fees for NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ for a total...

She said that she got calls from several trading desks around 3PM saying that there was good buying coming in . . . She's become such a tool. :D

Yep. But it depends on where you live really. There are no JPM/Chases in California. Arizona yes, but no Cali. If you are in the Midwest, US Bancorp (USB) out of Minneapolis isn't too shabby either. One of the higher rated banks.

Correct-o-mundo. :)

Jay Leno said last night that McCain said that the economy was strong and the fundamentals were solid . . . To which OJ replied, "Hey, can I get HIM on MY Jury?" :D

Ouch! You can sure say THAT again!!! Some would suggest that the USA has "engineeered" a global financial meltdown to teach the Ruskies a very valuable "lesson". Kind of like attacking the Soviets, without using any planes, missiles, or tanks. :)

Russian Conspiracy Theory 101A The U.S. has "engineered" this global financial meltdown as a way to attack Russia for their invasion into Georgia and thinking that they had become a big swinging dick given their power from the recent crude oil rally to $147. That's why you heard Bernanke...

You can't be SERIOUS. Please move this to Chit-Chat. Time for a new moderator . . . What a joke ET has become.
