Just traded my first gold contract in YG.....made $400....probably should quit now. I noticed that the February contract has far more volume than the other contracts......would appreciate if someone would tell me why. Thanks, Stosh

People have different ideas on how to deal with those of a criminal persuasion. About 25 years ago I built a small house in a rough part of town for my uncle who was 86 at the time. When his new home was nearing completion he brought over a mattress and said he was going to sleep there with...

Good post, Wilburbear. I read recently that gun sales are soaring in the U.S.........wonder why? Stosh

I'm currently reading "How I Trade for a Living" in which he says he moved from Reno to south central Kentucky in 1996.........says he likes not having to get up as early for the market opening. I'm enjoying the book......and wonder what he is doing. He seems to march to his own...

Thanks.......I love Texas, too. My great, great, grandmother's brother's son was the first governor of Texas (Henderson).....real close kin, huh? Some kind of distant cousin, I guess. Stosh

This sort of reminds me of when Reagan fired the striking air traffic controllers in the early '80s. They were replaced and didn't get their jobs back. However, in this case, I expect Bush to give in and tide them over with the tarp until the Democrats get in control, so that the Dems can...

Makes me glad to live in Texas. You can buy one easily, registration not required in party to party transaction, ccw permits easily obtained, legal to carry one in your car without a permit.......and you can shoot someone if they are running away with your stuff. Sorry but everyone knows how...

Wellstrade gives you 100 free trades per year.....but you have to be a Wells Fargo customer with combined accounts of all kinds totalling $25K including loans.

I heard Bill O'Reilly say that Fox had hired Glenn Beck and that he would have his own show starting in January......also said he would sub for O'Reilly some before that. Looks like The Big Idea has become a financial show while the markets are in turmoil. Stosh

Thanks to Peri for the link. Looks as if it could be helpful.....will have to study it when I get more time.

Thanks to GTS and Slider.....that is what I wanted. I hadn't thought about the wide bid/ask spreads on stocks in those pre and after hours......a fact which would prevent a meaningful index. It is fascinating to me how futures traders in the overnight sort of wander around without a...

I'll rephrase in an attempt to clarify. In U. S. Eastern time zone, you can trade many U. S. stocks from 8:00 til 9:15 a.m. (pre-market) and you can trade them from 4:15 til 8:00 p.m. (after-market). I'm wondering if there is an index which tracks them during these times which are outside...

I recently started trading the ES. Would appreciate to be informed if there is an index to guage how stocks are trading in the pre-market and also in the after market trading hours. It seems that the standard S & P Index is only reported for regular trading hours (9:30 - 4:00 EDT). Am also...

What about his co-manager, Mohammed El-Arian? He sounds smart on TV.......does anyone have any insight about him?

The higher education system in the U. S. is a racket that compares with Fannie Mae, AIG, and California.

To recap in Central Standard Time: When you start trading at 5 pm on Sunday, you trade until 3:15 pm Monday , then closed til 3:30 (15 min), then trade for one hour til 4:30 , closed for 30 min til 5:00 pm, then reopens and trades til 3:15 pm next day when process repeats til 3:15 pm on Friday...

I read that he sold his house in New York for 16 million several months ago.......article said he had paid 1 mil for it some years earlier. Stosh

I voted wise because I think you have to be smart to make consistently wise decisions. Even if someone is programmed in youth with wise principles, too many decisions in life have to be made on an ad hoc basis which require weighing confusing, complicated pros and cons. Stosh

Another example of dollars coming back to help us.......surely, Sheila Bair,etc. worked furiously behind the scenes to put this "save" together. Stosh

I don't have any news about it.....but if there is a connection I suppose it might be loan commitments.
