The question is if reducing risk is the primary concern or whether it is getting a higher return than the overall market. Say you have a 100,000 portfolio. If you are long 70,000 in emerging markets and short 30,000 in financials you are taking similar risk to the overall market. When you go to...

catoosa, try restoring to an earlier date. I had to go back much earlier to get it to work the other day.

I-Phone currently lacks JAVA support for streaming quotes, I use a Blackberry Curve.

Quotrek is pretty reliable. The pricing is more reasonable than it used to be ($25) per month. I don't think IB will connect to it though. I mainly use it to keep track of the market when I go to lunch or travel.

I had the same problem, the tech told me to restore to file an older incarnation of tws when it was working okay. That solved the data problem, but rss news feed was still sluggish.

The permabears like Doug Kass will be sipping martinis in his Palm Beach Mansion, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket, until the U.S government becomes so indebted it confiscates his house. :D

Well, I would say bill and hill are two different animals. Besides the obvious differences Bill was much more in favor of free trade and Hilary is running on a more populist platform, although what she actually does when likely elected is anyones guess. As for market performance the small cap...

Actually it's 2010 unless Hilary changes the law in 2009

For asset class variety and market data Interactive Brokers is probably best and likely cheapest, although if your a big hedge fund and have specialized software running through the api interface the cost would be more depending on what you want to do. Bloomberg has more foreign markets and...

I think stocktickr will do that for you, they have a 30 day free trial at stocktickr.com

You want to buy when they have the dark bordered box on the monday edition, or better know the system well enough to figure out which stocks to buy before the paper based on their methodology or eventually your own sophisticated analysis. :p

You probably want one of the reporting software for portfolio analysis such as Fund Manager or Stocktickr.

If you can take everything with a grain of salt you can make money watching the show. They talk about some of the top performing stocks, trying to make timing decisions based on what they say at 8pm before the big jobs number changes their mind at 8:30 the next morning is probably not a good...

It just broke a long term trendline down, like 10 years. I think barrons is wrong on this one.

If they don't get many of the SASSA contract it will get killed so it could be down/up 25% on that announcement. That said it's pretty cheap valuation, and expanding in africa. Where else are you going to get exposure to nigeria and zambia?Besides if you lose money at least it's going to a...

Any exchange traded fund can be traded on IB. The gold ETF's are GLD for the Ishares and IAU for the streetracks etf. Ishares offers a variety of currency etf's such as fxe-fxy long the eur or yen.

G5 is an IBM chip, not an intel chip. I wish they had changed chips earlier, but alas I'm still not running windows natively on my PowerMac G5.

Housing mortgage rates are not really tied to the 10 year treasury note. They would be more closely tied to libor or the london eurobank internight rate, which hit a 6 year high today, so (correct me if I'm wrong) the mortgage rate would be more tied to the high grade commercial credit paper...

The reuters newsfeed is added on an individual stock basis to your newsfeed part of tws using version 876 which may mean you need to run it through your web browser. Make sure you have rss feeds enabled in the global configuration menu. As far as I can tell it's not really streaming news, but it...

What about the australian companies whose adr's are being delisted from the new york stock exchange because it's too expensive. I now own pink sheet stock for Australia and New Zealand Bank. I could buy on the australian exchange but it's such a small position it's hardly worth paying 37...
