    Another genius implementation by our favored broker!

    I've been getting the same pop-up about half the time I try and enter a short during regular market hours. I then immediately reenter the order and it is accepted. Very annoying.

    Do you yell and scream at the computer if you do a bad trade?

    I guess I'm still pretty immature, because I've already told at least 3 different stocks to F**K OFF today.

    When Bernanke speaks he reminds me

    He's definitely not yet comfortable speaking in public, and the uncertainty of his comments from week to week do not inspire a lot of confidence.

    eSignal Down?

    As soon as I posted they started updating, but like you there is a 20 min gap in the charts for some of my stocks.

    Squawk Box Fantasy Portfolio Challenge

    I agree that the rules created a contest based more on luck than skill, but I know for a fact the third place guy does o.k. trading in the real world. :D

    Longest winning streak?

    If he's trading AMEX, the liquidity probably makes buying power irrelevant. You can only scale up so much on small to mid cap stocks.

    what's happening?

    Yeah, CNBC's "On the Money" just reported that the possible human to human transmission was the reason futures are down after hours. Doesn't look like the flu mutated and would still be extremely difficult to spread among humans, so might not be a big deal. Just shows how weak this market is...

    what's happening?

    It would explain the after hours action of the entire market, if this is in fact the first confirmed case of human to human transmission. This news came out 1/2 before the close. Not trying to be hostile, just throwing out my opinion.

    what's happening?

    I'm not arguing with your overall market view, just the action in the futures over the last hour. BCRX now up 1.5 and NVAX .60 from the close.

    what's happening?

    I'm not going to argue that the market is already in a strong downtrend, but I find it hard to believe that it is only a coincidence that the market sold off hard when headlines come across showing the first human to human transmission bird flu. ES doesn't normally drop 10 straight points from...

    what's happening?

    All I'm saying is check out the charts of BCRX and NVAX in relation to the headline 1/2 before the close, compared to the futures. After hours BCRX +.90, NVAX +.5, and the SPY's are down 1.2 from the 4:00 price.

    what's happening?

    Judging by the spikes in BCRX and NVAX, at the same time the market tanked, this might be the reason. 15:29 Seven Indonesian bird flu cases linked to patients- Bloomberg.com Bloomberg.com is reporting all seven people infected with bird flu in a cluster of Indonesian cases can be linked...

    Esignal outage

    While the outage is annoying, this is only the second time in 2 years that I've had a problem with E-signal, this is on par with every other service I use to trade. For those of you bitching that this is ruining your P/L, I'm guessing you have bigger trading problems than your quote...

    Cramer a reliable fade?

    And how would you have done shorting his MGPI recommendation? Predicting the next day movement of his touts is a crap shoot. I trade his picks, but treat them like I do every other stock that has a news related gap. Some of them fill and some keep on going.
