If America goes 'belly-up' you'll need all that silver just to protect yourself. Peasants with pitchforks are very dangerous and our peasants have lots of guns. Ironic that we can spend 12 BILLION a month destroying Iraq but can't help our own people. For somebody NOT to be able to afford...

MORON, That's incredible: there ought to be a book in there somewhere !!

I'm not sure of the exact numbers but my tax returns this year show a 110,000 (and some change) 'Loss Carryforward' amount. This has been incurred since I made my first future trade (Silver) in 1994. My wife is pissed but to me it means I can earn 110K this year in trading profits and not...

Was this a US regulated firm? Will SIPC protect us?

JohnsonRod, If IB is your broker you miht want to look at Seirra Charts. They cost $10 per month and use the IB feed. Like you, I trade with very simple indicators: Williams Gator and AO. Good luck with your development: maybe you can peddle it later and make some money off it.

The answer is: Yes. ES options trade during the same hours as the ES contract. I looked for the answer in several places; found the answer on CME.com.

Do S&P emini futures options trade during the same hours as ES or do they (options) only trade during regular hours?

No pastrami sandwiches!?!?! Sounds like a business opportunity.

All of this bad news coming out lately. Pundits crying 'sell, sell', US Dollar dropping without pause, Consumer Sentiment down, etc., etc: but we continue to hold the ~1280 on the S&P. I am planning to buy April calls on the S&P futures early Monday and add on to this position if the market...

Countries, states, currencies: who cares ?!?!? It's one planet, one species, one economy. Good riddance to nationalism.

GANG: Nevermind. I swear I tried HSI the other night and couldn't get a hit. I'm getting it now.

GANGof4: What is the IB tcker symbol for the HSI future index? I've looked it up but couldn't find it.

Does anybody have PERSONAL experience with a trading mentor? I am looking for a trader/trainer who will: 1. Provide proof that they are successful traders. 2. Will provide training by trading on a real-time basis. 3. Trades the S&P emini. Good and bad experiences are very...

Thanks for the heads up. I assume that you have experience in dealing with them: can you cite any specific problems? It seems pretty straight-forward to set up a 'C' corp and trade through it. One question I have when acting within a corporation: do the brokers and quote services regard you...

If you incorporate and pay yourself some W-2 income you could establish an IRA. I am not doing so yet but I intend to move my IRA (from previous employee 401K) to a futures account and trade with that. This will be tax-free until I draw it out in 10 years or so.

Jayford, Much of what you say is true: I espiecally agree with the excessive military spending part. Why is the capital gains preference tax fair? Before trading I did consultant work and made $800-1000 per day. I was basically in the top tax bracket for a considerable part of my...

I think now is a great time to debunk that theory that 'cutting taxes' is the way to spur the economy. What difference does it make, in the velocity of money, whether the government spends it or the consumer spends it? In either case the money 'moves'. I would also argue that government...

GORD: Are you suggesting that Bush was correct in leading the US to attack Iraq?!?!? Are you saying that our 12 BILLION per month expenditure is proper to stop the possibility that "Saddam will (in the future) develop a WMD" ??? Is Iraq is any better condition than the day we invaded...

I bet she had her fingers crossed when she said that bullshit!! (However, if it makes YOU like her then have FAITH in her statements). It's one thing to state an affirmation of the populace's superstitions on the campaign trail and a totally different thing to base one's world view on...

The names aren't changing but the policies would. There is a considerable difference between Bush 1 and Bush 2 (about 130 IQ points at least (lol)) and either of the Clintons. The facts are this: both families are competent, successful people who understand the concepts of 'moderation' and...
