Phil, something to consider is to look at the indexes that the ISE is supporting. They have several, but Im most familar with the SML, MID and MSH. On my spread orders in these products, if I give up a nickle I can sometimes get an instaneous fill. For example, today I rolled out of an SML...

Former Enron advisor Paul Krugman is an absolute joke. James Taranto of the WSJ has documented some of his more egregious errors. He hates Bush, and hates US foreign policy. But more than anything talks like a typical 1970s left wing Democrat; That is, a closet socialist.

Been with TOS for awhile. Almost all options now days are electronic and direct access. And almost all platforms have smart routing. So there will not be that much different in speed of fills. TOS has good rates, not as cheap as IB, but much greater charting and tools. Also, anytime I...

If your are going to drink and drive, then don't wear a seatbelt.

Yea, 200 times leverage is just what every body needs. If you are just starting out, try this. Open an account with a deep discount broker like IB, or whatever, and trade a single lot of the mini (half size) Euro or Yen. If you have 3-5k in in the account that will put you at about 10-20...

That explains it. Though for 500 bucks a month he could probably rent studio and a cable modem. But what do I know?

Why not just trade at home for free?

Top shelf product, but not for retail.

Once again, a wash trade is to set up a fictious market and is typically done in very illiquid issues in order to peg a price. Typically, someone is wanting to peg a price of an underlying in order for the derivative exposure to not be issued a margin call. The issue does not trade much, so...

Harry, a wash trade is completely different than this. It usually involves two different accounts, is self dealing, and creates a fictious market Listen, if it is "so obvious" just cram his 1200 contracts down his throat. That should put an end to it. I know if I was fake bidding for 2000...

Well, now that MSFT actually pays a dividend, I guess someone figured they had to do something about it. 1 out of 100 should make it pretty easy math, though.

Coins, Im sure you experience this a lot in your life, but do you get the feeling that you are talking to yourself?

Coins, you may think America is the great Satan, but we generally don't view and call women whores. Maybe that is how your mongrel religion and 13th century beliefs frame your point of view, but not in this country. Maybe being the great Satan has allowed us to evolve from the earth...

Oh man, this is getting right to the heart of the complain culture of our country. Here is the bottom line, unless the rich get richer, no one gets richer. You want proof? You bring up 1969. Well, I will state that a man making 10 bucks an hour today lives better than most millionaires did...

She was incredible. I mean, man If I was in the left wing, I would have been embarrassed for her. Im serious about this. Even being her ideological opposite, I truly felt bad for her. I have never seen someone just spout catch phrases like that in my life. She clearly had no idea about...

Did anyone see Al Franken on "Tough Crowd" with Colin Quinn? He looked like a Deer In The Headlights. Im sure he was expecting another left-wing circle jerk and when Colin got on his ass, his stammering response was something along the lines of "well, err...Iraq is not even a country, its a...

I have. Since learning this, I have done three round trips on the MNX since learning this and made money each time. I guess Im too stupid to know I dont have an edge. Mike

VTO pretty good, but Jasons site is much more sophisticated with commentary ever other day. As an example, he slices up the put/call ration several different ways including backing the QQQs out ot the equity p/c ratio as it can really distort that number when some institution comes and buys...

not sure, but since he rifles through so much data, Im pretty sure he has a good service
