    Closed-end Fund Income Investing

    Don't worry too much about premium/discount. Remember these funds trade this way for a reason and will likely continue to do so. Stop loss on a fund? Now I've heard it all. I would look at some good income trusts and diversify accross those. Best of luck to you.

    Tape Reading

    Great to hear more BS "calling out" from another ET part-time trader. You love giving advice as though it were gospal. Why not make a few more posts complaining about the NYSE specialists? Give us a break. Make some money then we might start listening.

    I like Cramer...

    Because he has recommended it so many times already.

    I like Cramer...

    What a disgrace. This show started as a great political commentary and turned on a dime. Now it's nothing but celebrity banter and BS everyday, never mind the Hulk Hogan reruns. If I see "Dog" the bounty hunter on there one more time talking about catching Bin Laden it's over. Why would such...

    Are nasdaq traders making more money then nyse traders ?

    Maybe if you made your posts legible people would be more likely to respond. Try some capitals and maybe even some sentence structure. Perhaps you could start with one of the two and we wouldn't have to read your posts 3 times to make sense of them. Arb

    trading nyse specialists

    Books that are specific about HOW to trade will be counter-productive. Books that are very general (trading stories etc) will help motivate you and keep you excited about trading.

    No more NYSE imbalances?

    How so? Those orders have to be filled on the opening print and if that print is an anomaly (specialist stealing?) then why don't you participate in that print. The only complaint about specialists that I accept is when orders are held for a ridiculous period of time.

    No more NYSE imbalances?

    Just because they aren't published doesn't mean the game is over. The imbalances are still there. For OOs the prints could be even better since fewer traders will be playing the imbalance. Lots of guys only take the obvious trades. Be creative, there are other ways to tell if there are...

    Does Cramer move the market?

    But not smart enough to keep quiet about it. Your edge is extremely small because of the low after hours volume. Never give an edge away for free, it's common sense.

    ETG+Schoney?

    If you think 5 million shares a day would put you out of business you know very little about this business, and/or their business model. That's 100 million shares per month. Don't comapre them to firms doing NAZ rebate trading where each share traded counts as vitually nothing. You also need...

    Merger Arbitrage & Margins

    I would certainly expect an announcement pre-market. It was a huge surprise that the delay was less than one week in the first place. Why would they not delay it a month to really figure out what the damage is? My guess is that they already knew what the end result of this deal would be when...

    Merger Arbitrage & Margins

    The market is certainly telling us that this thing isn't closing Sept.7, at least not at the originally agreed upon price. This is not to say that it's impossible, but it will be one hell of a move Tuesday if it closes. Good luck to you Arb

    Mad Money episodes wanted

    He's not getting away with anything. The SEC isn't concerned about a bunch of idiots buying these things up on ECNs, especially when they've been warned time and time again. If enough people try to arb this it will disappear anyways. Arb

    Too scared to be a millionaire

    I think they are misguided thinking that "the contestants (would) have taken home more overall" matters in any way. Sitting in that chair I wouldn't care about 550 other people that I don't know, or our winnings as a group. Would you rather take home 100k, or have someone else win 1mil...
