    98.5 % chance of 50 bps cut at fed meeting, on top of today's suprise .75 cut

    old timers (pun intended)

    it is hoped that this will be a reasonable and rational discussion by seasoned traders about the current economic zeitgeist. the "reasonable and rational" qualifier necessarily excludes about 87% of ET. *** So, first off, we got the panic rate cut (the first one, at least), and everything...

    Bernanke is a complete goof

    really, it's his job to react. it's the market's job to act. *** my only observation about the new Fed chief is that he seems -- and this is just a sense -- he seems to be a bit scared. at least, the sequence of pronouncements suggests that to me, as have most of the headlines this...

    another reason IB is the pits

    do you need one firm to clear everything you trade? if so, I can see that much of IB's appeal. but that still doesn't redeem their technology or their customer service or the cast of characters, though the tradeoff may acceptable to some.

    Citi's writedown; How bad??

    buried on the third page of the bloomy story is this: "for the full year, Citigroup had a $3.62 billion profit, down 83% from 2006." Given the year it's been; given the run of profit up till now, that's a pretty good showing. Just get that balance sheet shored up baby. Let the street...

    another reason IB is the pits

    qualify your question. if you're a retail trader, maybe not. Perhaps to the retail, that's been getting dicked by the industry from the beginning, IB is one of the slickest ways to do so. on the other hand, if you have a clearing account (or a few), can you not execute anything electronic...

    another reason IB is the pits

    gents, I'm sorry. I've been sending orders by keyboard since the beginning. I've seen systems come AND go. IB is there, and it does stuff. That doesn't make it great. That may qualify it a cool thing in the retail market. It's customer service is abominable but most of you have probably...
