How many watch makers are there in the world? Everytime I read Trader Monthly I feel like I am looking at an industry publication for wristwatch manufacturers.

I have sold everything and leveraged short positions based solely on your analysis.

If you really want to make money on earnings reports, you have to take a gamble. It is always uncertain whether or not a company's earnings will miss/beat/be in line. Then, there is street expectations, guidace, etc. There is no way to know how all of this will be perceived by John Q Public...

All hail athlonmank8!!

Ten-minute T-bills, huh? That's a good one..

I shoulda bought at $50k back in 2000....

Good, hopefully vols skyrocket

What's the verdict?

Looks like the price has gone up to $1,195. Better look for some more traders....

There's also a double inverse mutual fund, if that's your fancy - UVPIX

According to McMillan's book, I think it's something like 30 or 40%.

I wish I knew. I work for a bank that has some heavy-duty security going on. I tried running something called HTTP Tnnel, but even that didnt work, and it uses port 80 which is for general web browsing. I can browse the web while I am at work, so I have no idea what they are blocking. What...

Hey man you rock - it looks like gotomypc is going to solve all of my problems. They even let me do a free trial, so I can doa test run before I start paying. Speaking of paying IB should pay you a commission for helping me stay a customer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a 1.5Mbs DSL thru AT&T, but as far as I know, its a dynamic IP address. Do I need to get a static IP address to use logmein or gotomypc? Thanks again.

Trust me, there is no serious trading going on with IB Web Trader. This is a potentially dangerous work around, at best. I am completely unable to monitor the risk in my trades and unable to make adjustments as necessary. Also, I cannot compute the "look ahead" margin reqs on my futures...

Yes, please help me out by explaining a little further. I am not much of a techie and I don't know what VPS and and WDC stand for. I would GLADLY pay 30-35 bucks a month for a VPS - please let me know what exactly this means and perhaps a good vendor recommendation would be MOST appreciated. Thx

In my opinion, these were good reasons for placing this trade. It's not like you swung for the fence at one contract, either. It seems like all of these other folks want to lambaste you, but I feel your thesis, sell discipline, and money management were sound on this trade. With this bad news...

I just started a new job and I can't use TWS anymore due to corporate policies and web proxy issues, so I gotta find a new broker. I was looking at Xpresstrade, which is now OptionsXpress - they seem to do everything IB does at substantially higher prices. I mostly trade options, so the...

So are you actually trader65 posing as trader56 or what?
