    A quick question

    IB's list of shortable stocks includes many under 5.00, even WCOM when it was trading at 1.25 but I've never tried it. I always thought, too, it had to be marginable.

    A little humour

    This may get bumped by the moderator, but it's damn funny anyway: Condom Promotion Slogans 1. Cover your stump before you hump. 2. Don't be silly, protect your willy. 3. When in doubt, shroud your spout. 4. Don't be a loner, cover your boner. 5. You can't go wrong if you shield your...

    A little humour

    Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? The...

    Shorting Against the Box

    How can you "win either way" if your long is going down and your short is going up, or vice versa?? Daliddle's right - you're just paying commissions. Take one side of the trade, ride it if you're right, cut it loose or take the other side if you're wrong. It seems like shorting against the...

    Slick Willie, America's WORST President

    It was under Clinton and Greenspan that the market became over inflated in the first place if you want to lay blame. In fact I remember during the FL recount every time it looked like Gore would win the market retreated because investors know that gore would 've taxed businesses to death...

    Slick Willie, America's WORST President

    There isn't enough hard drive space on Baron's server to list all the things these 2 have perpetrated since they were elected to the governorship in AR. And I do mean 'they'. She's obviously got the brains, he the balls. Oh, wait . . . . that hard drive mysteriously disappeared from the...

    Slick Willie, America's WORST President

    Clinton and his crusading wife have and are killing this country. If Clinton had hunted down bin laden after the first WTC attack in '93 this would never have happened. After the Cole bombing he sends over some remote-controlled missiles. What a sorry ass he is. He sold out to the Chinese time...

    Best and Worst CNBC Commercials

    Yeah, they show beautiful blondes bending over the desk, then probably when you get there it's nothing but a room full of overweight, sweaty guys with 3-day-old beards, coffee breath and bad attitudes. As for the one who asks her friend how to enter an order to buy more stock, I would...

    Please don't buy a Dell!!

    I can't believe Dell would choose such a scurvy-looking, raspy-voiced little shit for a spokesman. Remember those stupid "Hi, Mom" home video ads from last year? What a mug he's got. The only thing these Dell ads do is to make those stupid-assed "I can't find the start button on a windows...

    Best and Worst CNBC Commercials

    Those CyberTrader ads are hilarious. Sheep and fainting goats make lousy cybertraders. Yes they do, but they provide the liquidity for the rest of us to take their money LOL

    When you enter a message at the bottom of the entry panel is a box that says "Attach File" Enter the path on your local hard drive or hit Browse to search for it. Example would be C:\Pictures\Trading\QQQ.gif After you post your message it takes a few seconds for it to upload and appear.

    Does anyone know of any trading firms in Arizona

    I like the market closing at 1 in the afternoon. If there's nothing significant happening in the after hours like CSCO or MSFT earnings then you've got most of the day left to . . . . hmmm . . . spend the remaining 10 hours pouring over charts for the next day?

    Two Buys + One Sell = 2 Daytrades?

    IB's a great broker for executions and fees but they are unconscionable ballbreakers when it comes to interpreting the NASD and NYSE rules such as freeriding in cash accounts and settlements, etc. In fact when you hit your 3 daytrade limit they won't even let you open a 4th position. Your...

    Auto-refreshing in Internet Explorer??

    PC Magazine's website www.pcmag.com has an auto-refresh utility in the Utilities section. Their stuff is usually very good and reliable.

    Yeah, especially when you're short! For a moment there I though bin Laden had been found at room temperature in a cave somewhere.

    Time to change?

    Today or Friday the 14th ??? There seems to be more volume on the M2 contracts and last quarter Friday started the volume surge so I think tomorrow is it

    Time to change?

    I believe the Friday before the expiration, so tomorrow we would switch to U2 since next week is triple witching.
