I think the problem is that the speed of the internet is causing most strategies to become obsolete at ever-increasing rates. Couple this with "observers" looking over your shoulder and pretty soon *those* strategies would no longer work to the same extent. For IB, it might introduce more...

Sounds good, but at first "glance", the price is a ripoff. Monthly fees for this?! No wonder their not exactly "known".

You guys who keep whining about IB not having "charting" are really a bunch of crying babies. Look, you *cannot* have all features in the same platform. PERIOD. If you want great charts, then get a *professional* charting platform and you're done! Why screw up your broker's resources when they...

Not to worry, some of the world's most renowned economists and ET "elite members" will be along shortly. With their advice, you'll know whether to be long/short oil tomorrow morning and what the prognostication is for the economy. :D

Somebody should just post the code for the bullshit system as a way to teach these crooked vendors! crooks scamming the small-time trader out of their account starter money. What a shame!

No problem to continue here... Don, Could you confirm whether, traders overseas (not US based)would need a US taxpayer ID number to trade with a series 7 license? Is that the case with your firm? Thanks.

One thing you're overlooking about property in US is that it varies a *LOT* by region. You sometimes have 1 region going up while another is going down. The last 3-4 years have been somewhat different for 1 reason: interest rates. So, I don't believe a real estate value index is of much help...

Well, you're overlooking the fact that millions of newbies will be buying this book. And I'm already working on my next best seller, "Using 5% stops in Real Estate''. It's taking a while because I'm having trouble filling up the entire book. But the masses are awaitin'. Have you noticed how...

Thanks, gnome. I believe that is the first endorsement of my book so far. I will ask Barron to put it on the "Books" page of this site, soon. And I'll funnel 1% of the revenue to you. :p

You need to get my book, "The Perfect Stop". $99 at amazon.com Works on ALL commodities, indexes, options, currencies. Let me know if you can't find it and i'll give you the address where you can mail your check. Sorry, no money back guarantee. :D

What issues are you trying to short? Some 'ma and 'pa business? Maybe if you put out some names people can tell you if their broker has it on their shortable list.

Yes, I agree to a point. But, what some people are overlooking in real estate prices of the last 10-20 years is that it has also been a HUGE beneficiary/play of the monster decline in interest rates. In fact, I would say that the substantially lower rate factor outweighs the "scarce...

The problem with BUYING income producing property at the high end of a cycle is if/when the cycle turns down. In many areas, there won't be ANY renters to fill those properties. A lot of the HUGE houses being built nowadays have 2-3 people to occupy them. In a down cycle, people can compress...

Depends on area you're in but just about every Tom, Dick, and Harry are yappin' their mouths off about real estate, just like in 2000 about stocks. Usually, that' not the best time to get in. When people are fed up with houses, many in need of paint, foreclosure sign out front in many...

Yes, hard to believe that the whole West European continent population has become a bunch of pacifists/chicken shits! Just what these !^%#@* terrorists want.

Not when it's posted by some newbie trying to show the world he can trade.

Some of us agree that you should keep your opinions to yourself!!!

Since we always hear about NYSE program trading, I'm wondering if program trading is performed to an equal extent on NASDAQ issues or if the figure are substantially different. Anybody have any info on this?

This is a very good question. It also depends if you are a swing trader or daytrader. If you watch *too many* things, you may also become paralyzed and confused with too many things pointing in different directions. I believe Nitro, in a post some time ago posted he watches 27 different...

Actually, brokers are becoming more regulated as to whom and where from money is coming from. If you think brokers give you a hard time, try opening a bank account at some US banks. Ha! The reason is money laundering and counter-terrorism. Some countries make the "no good" here list. As a...
