You can see something clearer at night if you look at it with your peripheral vision than if you look directly at it (something to do with the retina). On a conscious level, I am unclear as to what my post has to do with this thread. :D

There should be a rating system for specialists done by institutional or active traders. A quarterly or semi-annual rating. Imagine a CEO being asked at a shareholder meeting or in an interview, why his company uses the specialist with the worst shareholder rating in his industry sector.

Harry hit it on the head. This is the first post of his I have been able to understand. Perhaps because his thoughts were condensed to a small paragraph they made more sense. Harry's thoughts are like a fine wine - if exposed to too much air/space, they go bad. :D

I finally had to get rid of my Aeron chair. I think the soft mesh seat and the rigid edges were screwing up my knee. Of course it didn't help that after 7 years all the controls were broken. :D Knee feels fine now. Thought I had arthritis. whew. Now I've got a nicely shaped foam...

I agree on the single place for bids and offers to meet, but it doesn't have to be a slow manual/specialist system, it can be a fast, all electronic system. I suppose pestilence and calamity will strike if the markets go all electronic (oops, I forgot, they already are all electronic in...

Give'em hell Hank! _______________________ AIG chief attacks NYSE "Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, chairman of AIG, has heavily criticised the New York Stock Exchange's specialist system for trading shares, saying an alternative without human intervention might be better for large...

NoMoreOptions, is this you babe? :D How safe is your account? http://www.msnbc.com/news/978410.asp?0cv=CB10

Find a time frame that you can focus on. Not everyone can remained focused to trade the very short term.

To be honest, I have not looked into commodity indexes for trading yet. Just bouncing ideas around. If a liquid electronic one does not exist yet, perhaps Eurex could come up with one.

Boys, boys.....can't we all just get along? How about commodity index trading?

I don't know if I'd be drawing trendlines with the after hours "all sessions" on. Might work better with tick charts, though Q-charts doesn't have them. Its hard to get a 2 day chart anywhere. Even if you put in 720 minutes on q-charts (without all sessions) it won't give you a two day - it...

The reason I don't give Rogers more credit is that he has been wrong on this for almost a decade. He missed the whole end of the cold war increase in supply and commodity deflation. He is not just "early"- he has been a stopped clock. Also, I'm not saying wait until the end of the decade...

(another thread got me thinking about this....) In the late 1960's and 1970's commodities were the place to be for traders (up trending markets). In the 1980's debt (bonds) was the place to be. In the 1990's equity (stocks) was where it was at. What will be hot in the 2000's? I...

They always say that when they don't want to do something.

I used to want to be a trader and now I are one. <87 and proud :cool:

The "people" in the market are those who buy and sell. They will always be there. So yes, there will always be "participants" in the market (the buyers & sellers), but there may not always be human middlemen who need to touch each order. There used to be human operators on elevators. When...
