Say what you want, but trading is a stressful gig and having a little fun here is no crime. There's serious stuff and some humor in between. Most of the people we make fun of are jokes in their own right. You think people like the CNBC anchors, Ned Riley and Abbey Joseph Cohen should be taken...

Only selected tickers are working. Many still frozen. At least they picked a good week to go down

Yesterday I was constantly being re-connected from premarket through about 10am EDT Today all quotes are frozen, no bid/offers on ETFs. Orders going through OK but is that the next thing to go. Shit.

before & after

Then I guess the Suze Orman pictures would be out of the question :D

I had that same question a few weeks ago so I watched while one of the CNBC anchorettes stood bullshitting in front of the Nasdaq Times Square projection screens showing the $COMPQ, I see esignal follow tick by tick, in fact sometimes even beforehand by a half second. Don't forget the satellite...

Same here all morning since about 5am PDT Each disconnect lasts a few seconds

Why do I get the feeling I smell marketing bullshit brewing in this thread. . . Let me guess - you've got just the trading plan to trade the ETFs, HOLDRs, etc, for sale

I've had no problems today - but watch those network cards. Brand does matter as I've found out. I'm using the cheapest RealTek on the market (about 13 bucks) and it's rock-solid. All the more expensive ones at Fry's Elex weren't on the recommended list.

Just shows you the hypocritical SEC bullshit about the PDT rule. It's to protect traders, my balls. Yeah - we'll protect you from yourself, oh and by the way - here's 4x as much rope to hang yourself with, sucker. And go ahead and hold it overnight so when your position gaps down 25% tomorrow...

They started doing it a few weeks ago. You gotta have balls of steel to go out on a 4:1 limb overnight with this up-one-day-down-the-next market.

As soon as I close out a position my account equity is instantly updated. It's that simple.

"I'm telling ya - just hang on to those JDSU shares. They'll come back."

"Man, if these people on Elite Trader would just leave me alone already!. They're giving me a brainache. Somebody give me some hay to chew on."

There once was a guru named Suze Who traded stocks, bonds and the spooz. When prices would tumble, She'd say "They're cheap, let's rumble!" Useless advice no real trader could use.

Papertraded their picks all this week and some of last week. Lost money each day except two, and made very little on those 2 days. Today the semi stocks are flying (my usual daytraders) and their 6 picks are doing nothing. I cancelled just now - save your 95 bucks and spend the money on...

. . . or you could start out as an analyist at Merrill Lynchmob :D

You know what pisses me off to no end? When 2 CNBC anchors (like Rebecca Quick and MCC right now) sit and bullshit with each other. It's so damn scripted and phony. Rebecca explains to Cabruso about Buffet investing in USAir, and Cabrusa pretends to be interested, nodding her head and asks the...

That Fainting Goat Cybertrader ad is the absolute best. Someone here goes by the name Fainting Goat and I didn't know what the hell that meant until I saw this TV spot. The way those puppies just roll over and play dead, with their paws in the air - love it! Lord knows, I've had that feeling...
