What's a good site to get P/E information on the indexes? I see the P/E for SPY at 14.8 now. Is that reliable? Furthermore, don't bull markets usually top out at 20+ P/Es and really bullish sentiment. Not there yet.

Dow has hit 12000. Corporate profits at record levels. Valuations not yet in bubble territory yet. And if you look at the long term chart for the Dow, this looks like a real breakout. It just doesn't feel like a real breakout because of the geopolitical news, and the deflation in housing...

US economy: concensus is that the US economy will continue to slow into a "soft landing." We've only had one soft landing on record, I believe it was 94-95- in the midst of the greatest economic bull run ever. Iraq: Getting worse and worse. Woodward's book details how the intel community...

LTCM lost 4.6 billion but over 4 months according to wikipedia. Nick Leeson lost 1.4 billion at Barings Bank. So a $5 billion blowup in 5 days has to be the biggest and fastest blowup of all time. Or am I wrong?

If anyone has any info on a futures prop firm in the NYC area please post or pm me - thanks.

I want to invest in a tradestation setup at home. Don't know much about computers, but three things that really annoy me are: (1) the constant noise that computers emit, (2) glare from the screen, and (3) the electromagnetic radiation. Are any of the newer designs addressing these issues...

The complaint I noted earlier is now resolved.

I started off with Etrade Pro last March. They had an amazing office in NYC (former Worldco Office) and I figured that Etrade - with all its capital and resources would outlast every other firm out there. They shut the place down within 2 months. I learned that any prop firm out there can...

I've been trading from Genesis NYC office for close to a year now. I've had no problem with them up until this past Monday. One of their servers when down and all third party connections were lost (Esignal, Tradestation, IB TWS). Now Esignal connection was restored same day but not...

I want to get into more swing trading, longer-term plays, futures, and options. So instead of joining another daytrading prop firm, I want to know if desk space is available for rent to traders. I'd be interested in NYC, Jersey City, and Hoboken. Thanks.

I've read from a number of posters here and I heard from a guy last week that Merill does have a retail office near wall street that a number of hedge funds and llcs trade through. You can trade retail thru an llc with greater leverage, better rates, etc. They use ML Pro platform, clearing...

I also trade with Etrade and am looking for another firm. I would consider a deal like the one Cre8UrF8 mentioned if anyone wants to PM me. Also if anyone trades thru Merrill I would be interested trading over there as well.

So far it sounds like they want to divest out of the prop side of the business and a couple of offices. They'll probably keep the retail side so if you want to trade there you either have to have your own retail account or trade through an LLC.

Congress passed a new law that went into effect this January. It set up a Health Savings Account that can be used in conjuntion with high deductable plans. That way money you don't use carries over and accumulates. Also you save on taxes. Anyone taking of this? Because its so new a lot of...

I'm 25 (single, non-smoker) and am getting quotes at 400-500/year. My COBRA option is 450/month. Feel bad about guys with a family (1,000/month). Do guys know any good high deductable plans? How about getting only catasprophic coverage? Also hard to find/decipher info on Health Savings...
