    Schumer: Why Can't Bailout Money Be Given In Installments (to see if it even works)

    Bunning was given his time to ask questions, and he made his points very well. If he had just STFU instead of going on TV ranting that he will not support the bill, which doesn't even exist at this time in any form to be voted on, he would have maintained the (potentially) positive perception...

    Schumer: Why Can't Bailout Money Be Given In Installments (to see if it even works)

    Now there's a man of principle: There is no bill, and he will vote against it. Bunning is a typical selfish politico. This event requires a bit of altrusim and patriotism, not what's in it for ME and MY constituents.

    Goldman Sachs & Morgan Stanley Can NO LONGER TRADE COMMODITIES

    Thanks to Hank, 5 days, the fasttrack of the normal 30 days banking application. Hank is not stupid: panic mode creates and allows for "unintended consequences"

    Pattern Day Trader

    In my experience, no. You'd get 100K BP for the day. This probably depends on the individual broker, although it is my understanding, only prop traders get immediate credit. Applies to equities, not futures. Not sure about debt instruments.

    Where will Freddie close tomorrow?

    .02c Only on the HOPE a plan to keep equity holders solvent is included or forthcoming. It should go to ZERO. That will equate to $25B to taxpayers, without concern of the stupid shareholders/speculators who got caught holding.

    How much do you pay in monthly commissions?

    Not too different from many businesses; 5-10% -net- margin. Not a terrific model to emulate for a trading business, but acceptable.

    A margin call always equals an account blowup, right?

    Margin call does not equal account blowup. Margin call means the equity value of all positions currently held, combined, is not sufficient to continue holding the combined positions as is.

    Single Click Trading!?

    The buy/sell @ market button is single-click trading. Likely available on any platform you care to mention. You may need to turn off order confirmations to truly learn to loathe that single-click. And since AI is not an option for retail platforms, be sure you are acting on the correct symbol.

    Ken Fisher, Warren Buffett, Bill Miller...the best are now lost and confused

    Lost and confused, I think not. The attempt at securing value ala picking a bottom may be completely wrong, but then what is the timeframe? Buffet buys to hold for years and decades. When (if) they sell, THAT would be the time to pay attention. I seem to recall Buffet "missed-out" on the...

    Only 1 Futures Daytrade per day: $200-$1,000 profit goal per day

    It's great that you are making profitable trades. But I have a problem. Your thread title is about making 1 daytrade for $200-$1000 profit. The markets you are trading for the last few days have had very wide, and mostly one-way swings, yet you haven't been able to catch a significant portion...
