Here is a list of Prop Firms, many of which are in Chicago. Fwiw, I know a guy who sent resumes to just about every firm on this list with copies of brokerage statements and didn't get one phone call. I have a feeling Props have gotten smacked in this market...

No, there's a lot more wind on top of the Empire State Building. You could easily get blown off your brick.

So you're forcing me to vote? What do you think this is, Australia? :mad:

GS is already a bank. Not sure about MS. The Fed is slowly acquiring every corporation in America by lending them money. When you lend to someone you own them until the debt is repaid. The Fed is slowly (or is it quickly?) acquiring the country.

LOL. Good one Increase. You're behind that screen having a good old laugh. Good for you :D ET can be quite fun.

Here you go. $1,650 for intra-day contracts. This is probably for the QM. The QM is $500 per point, the CL $1000. The spreads are not bad on the QM during regular trading sessions. You can use limits or stop limits to manage the fluctuations in the spread. It's actually more difficult to...

Increase, unless you've graduated to super futures trader over the past few weeks do NOT touch the CL. The Oil market is <b>easily</b> one of the hardest markets to trade. To add fuel to the fire, you are looking for the lowest margined broker available. For the record, it's probably Global...

Oops.

When the country collapses in the same manner the USSR collapsed. States will begin to succeed and then there will be civil wars. Until then, enjoy your USSA.

There's a big difference between financial fraud and poor business skills.

DOH! :eek:

Depends on where they live. Many times it's just a phone call or a Skype conversation. Face to face meetings are typically held at a restaurant.

Indeed, the word they used was "exchange." I over spoke when I used the word "confiscate." If it's a voluntary system then great. Hopefully it won't become mandatory.

This is the other thing that is worrisome. If the US defaults at some point in the future the GRA will not get paid, and people will lose their money.

Social Security current has an approximate $600B deficit because Congress taps this source of revenue and uses it for things like Iraq, or building project X in their home state. The Social Security tax that you and I pay is supposed to go into a pool and get invested and pay for our future...

If this passes SSA will become a lifetime partner for buying the US's debt, now that Asian countries have slowed down their acquisition of this debt. It also creates another source for Congress to borrow from and place IOU's with, much the way they do with SSA now.

ST3, here's an article I think you will enjoy reading (at least in part) because it is calling for a rally to last into 2009. Once you get past that part it begins to get a bit ugly but perhaps by then you may be able to shake your perma-bull status. Stocks will most likely rise from here but...
