Automated off-hours trading. That seems risky to me. Anyway the MarketPOV blog has a lot of charts for that day. http://www.marketpov.com/2012/09/september-11-2001-charts.html The Sept 2001 ES morning trade is interesting. It seems rather tame compared to some forex trades I've seen...

Apple is a cultural Bubble for sure. I don't know when it will end but when it does the NBA market will come crashing down. NBA == Nothing But Apple market

This is the best article I read about the craziness of Greece: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2007949/The-Big-Fat-Greek-Gravy-Train-A-special-investigation-EU-funded-culture-greed-tax-evasion-scandalous-waste.html Indeed, as well as not paying for their metro tickets, the people...

The best is suppose to be tickdata.com but it is pretty expensive. If you limit your time scope and the number of symbols needed it isn't too bad. The quality is probably the best. $30/symbol/yr https://store.tickdata.com/prices?productMarketId=PRODUCT_MARKET.US_TED

I agree that futures & forex is a lot cheaper to trade and of course you learn the price action as NoDoji states. The thing is you mentioned more individual stock trading. Futures & Forex trading are really more refined since they are actually broad indexes and indexes move differently than...

I'll try and tackle this. Things to watch out for since you are only using $10K and only want to lose $1K: -watch out for overtrading since that may lead you into the Pattern Day-Trader regulations. If this happens you will have trouble in that account unless to put in $25K, which I...

I'll add my 2 cents to this conversation. I've lived in California since 1981 when my dad got a job at Bechtel (SF) -- we moved from NJ. I grew up in Fremont (10 miles north of Sunnyvale) and I went to a top 5 public high school (Mission San Jose) and it was a very upscale neighborhood --...

Roosh is pretty good but the best is probably to read Roissy (actually he now calls himself Chateau Heartiste) but he combines the best of lifestyle/game/libertarian info. Check out his Marriage is for Chumps archive. I believe is is a former SIPC worker drone.

I have Verizon 4g LTE and no it doesn't make cell phone reception any better. The 4g LTE terminology is meant for the data-side not the phone-side. So the data network traffic is faster than the "old" 3g technology: 3g 1.5-3.0 Mbps (200-400 Kb/sec) 4g 6+ Mbps (750+ Kb/sec)...

I'm a little late to this since the SF-NO game is in the 4Q (SF 20 NO 17, 13 minutes left) but I think all 4 home teams will win. SF 23 NO 17 NO is terrible on the road for a 13-3 team. They've only beaten 2 good teams on the road this year -- Atlanta in OT with that idiotic 4th & 1 call by...

Ironically IB was mulling buying MF Global because it owned the assets of Refco. Amazingly the deal fell through because MF Global couldn't account for the missing $900 million. Meanwhile, MF Global CEO Jon Corzine reportedly had a handshake deal Sunday evening for Interactive Brokers to...

It should happen this way but I'm sure it won't. I'm sure his buddies Obama & Geithner will bail him out or tell the Gov't probe to fuck off. I'm still waiting for the prosecutions of the executives of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merril Lynch, BAC, GS, JPM, Countrywide, etc. I still...

No surprise since Corzine is just another crony from wall street mafia. On a different note IB is now mulling buying MF Global which can't be good news for IB account holders. Interesting that MF owns the Refco assets which looks like a big draw for IB...

I'm surprised Tilson didn't learn from the Internet Bubble in the roaring '90s. I remember trying to short the kooky bubble stocks in '98 & '99 only to keep getting stopped out at huge losses. I remember I got killed trying to short the B2B stocks like Commerce One -- I think I lost like $20K...

Wow. Good call. You are the Oracle at Delphi. I looked at the report and it wasn't that bad. Revenue increase of 33% is still impressive. It seems like Apple in many ways. Too much expectation since every one and their mother is in the stock. At least it isn't Netflix, yet.

I actually agree with the OWS folks' main issue -- mainly that we need to end this Plutocracy created in the last 12+ years. But obviously I'm not a Socialist or Marxist which seems to be the leanings of a lot of the OWS backers. Its obviously a joke that you could take cover under the...

Here is one link: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/banking-industry-revamp-moves-step-closer-to-law/ I guess it is just the Volcker Rule finally in effect. I assume this is the reason that GS & MS want to stop being regulated by the FDIC. http://www.cnbc.com/id/44875711

You summed it up pretty well in your earlier post: Sadly your solution is probably the route that will be taken. I believe, however this was the route that Japan took. This will guarantee no growth for decades to come because all excess profits will go to further Bank re-caps. The...

How can there be a nationalization of a multi-national bank? How much is Belgium going to contribute? What about France? I am doubtful this will stem the credit crisis. Anyway I doubt "rescuing" one bad bank is going to alleviate the problem anyway. So who is going to re-cap the other...
