    U.S. Taxpayers Risk $9.7 Trillion on Bailouts as Senate Votes

    A serious question here What is the sum of all private mortgages / credits handed out during 1997 and 2007 in the US and UK housing market. The whole figure can't be much higher (if that high), that makes me ask where the money is actually sinking in.

    could they actually ban ultra etfs?

    I'd say CME/CBoT is already actively lobbying against these ETFs. Many traders have shifted into stocks and that's one of the major reasons they lose so much vol. A fair step would be, they lower their fees accross the boards. But they don't want to be fair. Everyone knows that.

    Massive Manipulation Of Food Prices Alleged Given Steep Drop In Price of Commodities

    Not only in the US. Also in Europe, prices for many products were even raised since cmdty prices imploded. Interesting: Prices for products which are shipped over long distances (fruit conserves) were raised by 100% during crude peak and are now not lowered by a cent.

    UK Stocks @ Chi-X --- Stamp Tax

    Hey everyone, Everybody knows, when trading UK stocks through the LSE with some form of private account (e.g. IB), you pay a hefty stamp tax (.5 %). How is it with Chi-X ? Is the tax applied or is this a way to trade UK stocks tax-free ? (Buy @Chi-X + Sell @Chi-X) And what if you buy...

    Ben Bernanke is a Huge Lunatic Paranoid Money Printer -MegaInflation Coming

    OMG To all serious traders with insight: I think it's time to stop filling the pockets of this site's operators by providing good content (like Daal) and let them provide the advertising. This is not about content at all, it's only about idiots and their millions of clicks. This...

    Life without anti-virus ?

    I'm pretty sure your system is compromised. If it is: Don't try to "clean" it. Do a clean re-format and re-install. I recommend Vista x64. XP32 is too vulnerable. Check out VirtualPC for creating a virtual machine.

    A Fool-proof Google-based Sentiment Indicator? Wtf

    tom, a nice find but I may have to spoil the theory: the problem is that the google trend chart for "stock market" is optimized afterwards to what happened (crash). If you try similar terms (e.g. "investing", "dow jones"), each will come up with a very different time/# series and it's easy...

    Life without anti-virus ?

    Antivirus packages are close to become obsolete. Thinking they will protect you from really dangerous exploits (e.g. new MPack versions) is pure nonsense. AV vendors are months (years?) behind the best malware coders. My proposal: Get rid of AV bullshit and transfer your internet...

    Why do the Mods defend a fraud like Jack Hershey

    Could not agree more. In fact, this site is a waste of time. I'm only around to read sometimes reasonable topics about IB and some econ-/social related stuff.

    Historical Tick Data: IB vs. OpenTick ?

    Anybody already tried ESignal through TWS ? From my understanding it would be possible to use TWS as an API proxy for ESignal, their API is more than crappy. Issues ? Symbols same as IB servers directly ? Java CPU useage with many ticks ? Regards,

    Quote Tracker no MSFT/INTC Data

    IB probably added new products (today) causing the issue. If this Quotetrecker thing does not have (multiplier; primary exchange) implemented, it is not correctly programmed to IB's specs.
