Stocks got an average daily volume higher than its float. Toss in short covering (as of the March report the short position was 40% of the float) and mania and you've got a prescription for insane price movements.

Don't know what a survey would show (although you'd probably get similar or higher results in parts of West Virginia and Arkansas). What people in the US would say in a survey is immaterial - what they actually do was the point of my earlier post. A "survey" in the US might not show 1/10th...

Unfortunately, you don't have to look at Islam for this. Way too many shelters filled to the brim with wives who were routinely beaten by their good Christian (and usually drunk) husbands right here in the US. There may be some bizarrely institutionalized wife beating among certain arab...

Gee Harry, maybe dgabriel isn't maligning the book publisher bust he just means (as with so many of your threads) - who the f*ck cares??

Why would you want to hold ANY particular currency for a decade?

Yes. Initially (use predates WW2) applied to government issued items (clothes, equipment, etc.) - soon became a generic term applied to soldiers too. It's applied to all soldiers (and of course government issued items) (e.g., GI bill doesn't apply only to infantry). Also means...

Sure we do - we get the privilege of pissing away billions of taxpayer dollars every year that goes in large part to artificially boosting Israel's economy and industrial complex. The problem with politicians (many of whom receive huge contributions from jewish lobbies in the US) is that they...

Been done - Sammy's not using any drug/supplement/etc. that's banned by baseball.

No - just one more accord to stall that they would have ended up crapping all over. Only way to show they reall want to work for peace is to stop building settlements outside their official state borders. Until then, they offer terrorists an ongoing recruitment opportunity.

Forget the goat - cover of SI predicting Cubs win the Series is a sure curse.

Ya know what, before wasting time with anything Borland produces or worrying a great deal about refactoring - just learn to use the Edit/Replace function in the exceptional (they "should" be exceptional) case of changing a UI element's name after you've coded event handlers for it.

Just to be clear, websites that operate as communications forums or even allow advertising are generally exempt from liability from the claims of those advertising or posting - even those touting odious bullsh**. If the mere conveyor (or medium of conveyance) of an advertisement weren't...

That's interesting. I also noticed that there are two presentations on his website - "Why listen to me?" and "Why trade the E-mini?" Innocent enough, except that clicking the arrows wants to download executable files to your PC instead of just showing the presentations. Does it contain...

Saddam was a complete POS and deserved to have a cruise missle shoved up his ass. But at this point, does anyone seriously think we're in Iraq for more than three reasons: 1. Saaadum tried to get a hit done on GW's old man. A good enough reason to charter the CIA to whack Hussein and Sons...

Why would you even assume there would be any broad US market impact of a Chinese chemical plant leak? That Bopol chem leak years ago was bigger and didn't affect the US market (except for the chemical company involved). The Chinese incident didn't even involve a US company. Was there...

Huh - you mention an "evacuation" to most Americans, most of whom don't even watch the nightly news on TV (let alone actually read anything), they'll probably think you meant an intestinal condition that follows eating too many White Castle hamburgers. :)

mrpace - Couple quick thoughts which may already have been mentioned: 1. 64% win/lose trade ratio with only a 65% win/lose $ ratio is a thin starting point for purely similated results 2. With a narrow margin of error, your simulation assumptions need to be seriously boundary tested -...

You got to love this forum. No matter what the subject, there's always someone who'll chime in with "XYZ isn't all it's cracked up - the off the shelf stuff isn't good enough, you have to build it yourself." As if they've got the trading floor of the CME in their basement or they're...

The router can only handle the hardware/connection failover, it can't compensate for shitty software. Sounds like a poor design on IB's part - users should petition them to properly handle disconnect/reconnects - e.g., simply disconnect the prior connection when a new login occurs instead of...

You need an "All the Above" option
