I just heard it from another guy that trades power. Its interesting that you mentioned the low volumes of bal days that have been traded lately, to see some days where Cin Hub has as many pieces traded as WH is pretty odd. I just attributed it to the fact that prices have been pretty tame and...

Is something going to change with Electricity platform on ICE? I heard something about the CME integrating with ICE and there will be more people now trading Electricity on ICE. Does anyone know anything on what I am talking about?

What happened? Why such a huge swing?

How does that translate to US markets? When they open will it be trading over $10 here as well?

This will get you thinking a lil http://www.businessweek.com/lifestyle/content/may2008/bw20080513_720178.htm?chan=search

All you keep hearing is the fact that Goldman said its going to $200, i've heard that quote in every single article I read. Probably selling into their own news.

I am having the same exact same feeling about this. Although I dont believe we will ever see gas drop below $2.50 a gallon somethings gotta give. When the average joe is starting to think about getting in on the crude trade it feels like the top. Could be one of those runaway trains that...

If you want to get into trading Power working on a Real time desk will give you a great basis of understanding and teach you many of the necessary fundamentals to be successful. Working somewhere that owns generation enables you to learn how units are bid into markets, how they run, etc. All...

bump... I too would like to hear what other traders have to say about what they look at when interviewing young guys who havent had a chance to actually trade for a profit. If a kid hasn't been out of college long enough to trade consistently and with success what is it that people look for...

Respect! That's what I've been riding since the bears came out in Sept because that is "the worst performing month" i have come to learn that if youre a lemming youre gonna get smoked. When a guy I know who fixes motorcycles for a living is suggesting Sirius stock @ $7.50 i know that thing is...

Doesn't really make sense, but thanks for your input.

Thanks for the assistance, the links to past posts were very helpful. I think i am going to stick to my original long term, large cap, high div, high yield strategy, but I will wait for market pull back before I do so. I dont think it would be too smart to buy into this incredible strength...

I am 23 and looking to park my money in 5 or 6 large cap, high dividend paying equities. I am in the commodities industry and dont have the time to watch the equity markets so I want to park my funds into companies that will be around for the long run and provide me capital gains as well as pay...

I hear this term to describe traders in all different products/ markets. What exactly does that mean? Thanks in advance.

Work at one of the larger I-banks in NY

Drew, I agree with you 100%. I am out of school 1 year now and have had to earn everything that has come to me after school. About 70% of my friends took 5 years to graduate college and felt that it was their 'right' to do this. It didnt bother any of them that they took a whole extra year...

I am thinking of getting into a mutual fund but the possibility of a market correction coming is making me wary. I was wondering if anyone knew of any funds that would somehow be of lesser risk than a general US Midcap or Large Cap , etc. Thanks

hydro, HR has nothing to do with it. If a managing director or director likes you enough and thinks you have the drive/guts to make it as a successful trader...HR doesnt stand a chance. This director would tell HR what they are going to do. These places may be elitist in their hiring out of...

Yes they do, I interviewed there. Seem like nice guys, the ones I talk to. Didnt take the offer but the interview seemed like as long as you had the 5k and were motivated to trade you got a trade station on the floor

Does anyone here trade midwest electricity? Looking to learn the market. Was wondering if anyone knew of any resources to learn. I visited the Midwest ISO page and have started reading some of the tutorials. I want to try to read as much as possible as I am looking to get into the real time...
