    Interactive Brokers' Price and Speed of Execution for Stocks Tops Industr

    I find this hilarious since my lame "discount" brokers consistently give me better OPG fills than IB. Consistently. However, IB does have nice conditional orders for the system I trade with IB, which my discount brokers don't have.

    So, is it a bull or a bear?

    I think we went into bull mode about 2-3 weeks ago. Doesn't seem like it would have legs but lets see how far it goes! I turned bearish Nov 2006 and bullish in May 2008 for the record, although my indicators are tracking actual stock prices, it sometimes takes time to show up in the indicies...

    Bernanke: No Wage-Price spiral inflation

    Its funny, Bernanke has lost all credibility with me. I'll read the bullet points of what he said, but honestly I could care less. No inflation, positive GDP, whatever... I should say ignoring the Paulson/Bernanke lying dream team. Pretty consistent for the Bush administration tho.

    The Biggest Rally In Stocks Since 1998 Is Coming

    I've been thinking something similar. If the market can hold up here with $125 oil one of two things: a) its primed and ready to go b) the market will top when oil breaks

    Estimating Realistic Volume Limits & Trading Capacity Estimates

    He probably is trading a subset of the market. You don't know his strategies, for example he might be trading micro caps. Who knows. I would say its dependent on how you enter and exit as well, ie hitting the market with huge market orders is different than if you can VWAP type order out (or...

    Frontier said it had agreed to sell four planes to counter rising fuel costs.

    You could carry out of the money puts or long out of the money calls on the vix as a hedge, as long as your overall performance could overcome these costs. Theoretically, these out of the money options should actually be profitable (but rarely) and enough to make up for the small losses you take...
