"Stocks will resume their fall next week" I don't doubt they said this, but since when do financial media types make predictions?

Been down for me last half hour anyone else? Ya, ya, I know....

Trigger- Organized and controlled, sounds like something out of the Sopranos, not an electronic book. Nonetheless, you have good hearted motives to maintain liquidity. I suggest you call up the CBOT and do the pit/screen arb yourself, after all, there must be huge opportunity if you can...

I suggest you gain a rudimentary understanding of odds before making a remark like this. Of course if you're correct and the odds offered are always terrible, you should be able to make a tidy fortune buying straddles off me and the other short gamma traders here into perpetuity. Best of luck...

Side-by-side daytime FX option trading was supposed to go into effect today; anyone know if there was any action/liquidity on the screen?

Over/under on off topic posts before oil does bottom?

Wow what a pukefest - I just did my public service in the interest of market stability by assuming an eminy worth of Amaranth's position @ 4.62 (oct), pure lotto ticket
