I'm sick and tired of reading about "traders"... ** Manipulating ** the stock market... Based on reading the way the Specialist is ** manipulating ** the market. You should ALL be in jail... And then come out... and do some honest work for at least one day in your life. It will be...

The securities industry is notoriously secretive... And no one is gonna tell you exactly what they really do... and how to do it. Most successful traders have better things to do... Then hang out on boards where "paper traders" are taken seriously. Here... one can find countless threads...

I run an ILX Workstation on a separate computer next to the one running TWS. Thomson/ILX is in the business of providing pro traders with super, ultra reliable quotes... Which requires extremely well designed systems... All the fastest, most reliable connections... And redundancy all the...

FINALLY someone mentions what is 90% of the ballgame... Being properly hedged at all times. Other than ultra-short term scalping... The only way to produce "consistent" returns is to be an expert and obsessive hedger. But too many people here believe they can lay directional bets using...

Actually nor true for most brokers. IB Canada withholds 15% on ALL US dividend income for ALL accounts... (I have several very different accounts)... IF one fills out one of 3 different W8 forms... And withholds 30% if you DO NOT. You cannot ever, ever get the withheld funds back...

These threads about sophisticated stuff make me laugh... Completely full of nonsensical opinions by people unqualified to have one. The algorithmic systems out there out very basic... And probably only marginally profitable... Fast yes, but not very "intelligent". To view them as...

You must be an Outlaw... Part of "The One Percent" that rejects all forms of authority... And lives a criminal existence as a parasite on a society that one holds beneath contempt. Offshore casinos should make you smile... Because the dirtiest money in the world (use your imagination)...

As someone who was never able to beat Vegas sports betting in > 10 years... But has been very, very successful for > 10 years as a trader on the NYSE... Your post is a good example why. "Wise guys" do exactly the kind of "inside baseball" analysis you just posted... On a very...

Any INTENT to manipulate stock market prices is ILLEGAL... It does not matter if you succeed or fail... The law is always about what you INTENDED to do. That's the starting point... And then there are ** specific regulations ** designed to prevent stock price manipulation. Long/short...

Yeah... I agree... Liz Claman has the phoniest TV manner I have ever seen. And unlike Maria... Joey Ramone (who was a day trader)... never wrote a song about her.

Chess is a terrible model for the financial markets... Because it's a game of finite possibilities and no external factors. The key thing to beat Grandmasters is raw computer power... So when computers got fast enough about 5 years ago... that was it. Poker is much more analogous to the...

It's not just black boxes... But Specialists and MMs trying to make life hard for the competition. One can 90% negate the "penny jumping" shit... by trading a lot of stocks. If you enter 20 Limit Orders in 20 different stocks... And do not care which 10 get filled... All this becomes...

For Insana it's just the standard progression... Put out a rap video... and then start a hedge fund. Personally... I'm waiting for Ron Jeremy to start a hedge fund.

This has nothing to do with religion... But I guess you just can't miss an opportunity to take a ** cheap shot ** at Jesus Christ. Gambling has historically been illegal in the United States and many advanced countries... Because degenerate gamblers have a HUGE social and economic cost...

Hydro is correct. The YouTube "copyright problem" no longer exists. As someone who has posted a lot of stuff on YouTube... I would estimate that approximately 10% of the clips at most... Are taken down within minutes/hours of an official, verifiable complaint by the copyright holders...

You unwittingly used the "exception fallacy"... Making a conclusion about a large group on the basis of exceptional cases... Which, ** by definition **, renders your arguement FALSE. Perhaps you could take a course in Basic Logic at your local Community College. The Math or Philosophy...
