Cooltrade? really? They struck me as the least professional of the bunch this year. That's where the dude was wearing sraw hat with shades and mardi gras beads. Best Choice is up there with Felton in terms of value (zero) IMO Alaron's set-up was sad Anyone see the dudes with a video...

Suggestion What if ET created a new site that consisted of top posters here and expanded it only by invitation the criteria would be years of being registered here, quality of posts, personal qualifications etc. It would address some of the complaints here But the, as Groucho Marx...

Both the housing futures market and the more credible voices such as Prof Shiller who created the Case Shiller housing index (better constructed than others because it uses same home sales) say 15-30% further declines are ahead Either way, I suggest you do a side by side calculation of the...

Darn, others got to the heart of this before I could, Never a down day before the 100K hit? Obviously that's BS. In the remote chance that it's true, no firm would fire you for those numbers, you'd be a rock star with those results (but they would have rung alarm bells on the big down day...

Dogfish Slideshowbob Reaver Tradersmade All of you made really denigrating remarks about Paris/France How many times has each of you been there? Whereabouts in the US do you live now? I'm a trader and I live in NYC (many years) and I go to London, Paris, Dublin etc.. a fair bit...

I see the impvolatility study, but you can't download the actual historic implied volatility data. Or can you?

....and in the nth year? Exit the business and back to a regular job I'm only stating the path of the typical person entering the business. Everyone thinks that they are of above average or will be when they start. Only in hollywood scripts should you never be a quitter. Be a realist...

sorry for the double post

good question, and a good short idea. Commercial real estate has a long way to fall. Don't know of any pure play unless you have access to credit derivatives in which case CMBX is the way to go. VNQ is a reit ETF and this has the disadvantage of being a hodgepodge of several different...

That last post was meant for Bud Foxx, apologies

2nd attempt asking this: what's your background? Which firms if any did you work for relating to finance? What qualifies you to offer advice? Did you back-test your technical signals? If so using what data and what platform?

I looked at your web site and could not find anything about you and your backgtround. What you are doing sounds interesting though

try the search function at the top right of this screen. This topic has been discussed over and over and over. BTW I tried trade-ideas and didn't like it even though lots of people seem to rave about it. Certain of their screen definitions are not transparant, you don't know exactly how...

Quantplus, you definitely hit some big points in your post and you sound like you know whereof you speak. Care to elaborate on those points for the benefit of the original poster, me and everyone else? By acting like a market maker I suppose you mean getting paid to be a liquidity...

The Financial Times has been reporting this story since at least late 2006. And Bloomberg more recently There are residential ghost-towns around certain Madrid suburbs due to overbuilding. There is no question but that Spain is heading into a housing recession. Ireland too appears to be...

Tradestation's Radar Screen Up to 2000 symbols real time very flexible code does not screen for fundamentals or news just price, volume and technical. Very customizable. I tried and did not like trade-ideas because I could never know how the code was working. It returns stocks that in...

A couple of days ago, the AAA and AA, i.e. the top rated (by credit rating) sub-prime bonds' pricing took a swan dive. Look at the ABX indices at Markit or just visit http://bigpicture.typad.com/ and visit his 7/16 posting. Today, Tuesday the 17th of July after the market close, we now know...

Yes, Streetinsider does look good, thanks for the tip bad trend because, for sure Merrill for one have actively tracked down and threatened to sue those disseminating their research without their permission. They yanked them from Briefing and threatened theflyonthewall (don't know where...

Merrill stopped providing their ratings months back too. I didn't notice the Goldman change. This is a bad trend.
