    Ford a big looser

    F bottomed out some time ago. Look at their product pipeline of hybrids and the their huge market share in latin america. Look at Brazil where fords are driven everywhere...and are powered by sugar cane derived ethanol. F is ahead of the curve when it comes to alternative energies.

    Do you think the Fed will really lower rates this year?

    Look at Eurodollar futures curve and the U.S. yield curve. Bill Gross is talking his book (position) in the press, but I don't think you'll do real well betting against him. The Fed will be lowering rates.

    Futures Spread Trading

    Spreading pairs against each other is surprisingly a great trade. I'm surprised the market pays as well as it does...I would think the banks would have all kinds of automated program trading to close these inefficiencies, but there are a lot of us scalping FX pairs all day.

    TT patent lawsuit: Ninja Trader, Trademaven and others...

    I'm pretty sure it's the same engine. The advantages to pro are the automated trading (autospread / autotrader) and connectivity to all TT gateways. autospreader alone is worth any price you'd pay for the upgrade. I haven't run them side by side but it seem illogical to have a different...
