    Erin Burnett talking up Traders Tax

    That's what I think many (including myself) will do from now on. She deserves a drop in ratings. And really, would you miss Cramer in his lunch time clown routine? :p

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I think when Street Signs comes on, I'll turn her off. She's a troll and big whoop she has Cramer doing his bear on a unicycle routine!

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    No doubt about it. I think she's angling herself to be some sort of leftist populist of some sorts on the show, akin to Dennis Kneale or Michelle Caruso-Cabrera being the wannabe Ayn Rands. She always looks uncomfortable, and I always keep thinking that the whole segments with Cramer are a big...

    Useful Idiot - [yoos-fuhl id-ee-uht] - Noun 1) used to describe Soviet sympathizers in western countries and the attitude of the Soviet government towards them. The implication was that though the person in question naïvely thought themselves an ally of the Soviets or other Communists...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Is it really a big surprise that CNBC's anchors would be this tepid about this criminal scheme to tax traders? It's no secret that GE (and NBC) are to the Obama administration what Haliburton and others were to the Bush administration. NBC..er CNBC won't be cheerleaders for the tax, but you...

    still using Tradestation 2000i ?

    I know this isn't really answering your question. But noticed you said you had to buy an old computer to run it. You may be better off getting virtualization software like VMWware or Virtual PC or Virtual Box to run the software. I believe the first one has software that allows you to port the...

    Why was AIG up?

    I don't get it. This is one dog of a stock. Normally, well from what I've seen, reverse stock splits have been precursers to future equity destruction. Did I miss out on some news? Last time I checked, AIG sucked as a company. :confused:

    Anyone trade Eurodollars?

    I always see stuff about ES, but never much on ED/GE or other short term interest rate stuff. I follow what I can on here, like on ZB. Recently discovered Eurodollars, love 'em. Very liquid. See you can do all sorts of stuff like calendars and even butterflies. Anyone want to share some...

    calendar trading the indexes

    Curious, does anyone ever try and do a calendar trade with any of the index futures? Say long/short ES front month, long/short the next one? Is that even doable with ES, YM or NQ? Or only the big contract (SP) ?? Hold the position for at most a few days. The margins seem reasonable. When I...

    Reminiscences of a Stock Operator...

    If you're looking for something in the book that relates to what happened, besides the aforementioned CDSes and bucket shops. Well I need only point to the early part of the book where he goes on about the Money Post. It was his version of a credit squeeze that was making the Street face the...
