I'm shorting tomorrow if we get another 300+ day like last week. Lower interest rates just prolongs the even bigger mess...credit cards.

This was what I emailed to a trader I know earlier and he completely agrees. What do you think? I, in the beginning of the year, thought that we'd see the subprime mess contained throughout the 2nd half of this year. Right now it doesn't look so much like that any more. With oil and food...

Sounds good to me too.

All contracts out all the way to March 09 where up the raised limit (90 cents) today, and the May 09 contract came close being up 88. Minneapolis May is up $1.35 to $18.43. Amazing.

Short at 1.5041.

Was sitting at my desk, EUR/USD pair was trading rather quietly at 1.4980, and within a few minutes scalped up to 1.5030. News?

We're all traders here, not sure about this. I would assume you'd be able to persue legal action, but I would ask a securities lawyer. How much are we talking here in terms of the loss?

IB is generally the lowest of all, but if you have significant size you can negotiate with some firms that have significant futures business (think Advantage Futures and Rosenthal).

Rick Santelli is the ONLY intelligent person on CNBC. I met him before (over here in Chicago) and he really is a great, smart guy.

At 6, I believe since all 3 closest month contracts are limit up today, the limit will be expanded to 90 cents per contract, so there is some room over when it opens tonight. Not sure what the contracts are trading at synthetically now through options, but they're probably much higher.

Options don't trade after-hours. Monday you'll get the current bid/ask. Those are old quotes.

Refer to www.cmegroup.com for more info. This is the new website for the combined CME and CBOT. It says under Products and Services Alerts that price limits will remain 60 cents.

Why do you trade with MF Global? Sure they may be the biggest, but I'd probably guess Interactive Brokers is cheaper and more reliable.

I think we'll see a lot of buying by the locals to cover shorts tomorrow. Wheat is seeing a good amount of bids at the low of the day ($11.43), CBOT market not moving much, which always slows after 9 anyway.

There is no break, just no one selling (all bids at the limit up level tonight at $11.53). Still activity going on in May futures (currently up 45 cents, was at the limit for a little while before coming off).

Look's like its having trouble getting back up to $11.53, although is trying.

Interesting what's happening now. Coming off its highs (limit up) a few times now.

Although all the exchanges sold off today, I am seeing Nasdaq as a relatively cheap takeover target, even though we have seen private equity deals and takeovers lose steam on the economic downturn. Per Google Finance (not my most trusted place, but I'm sure its close): NDAQ has a 11.59...

I have CME in my long-term account with covered calls. My cost basis for the shares is about $519, accumulated over the years with dollar cost averaging. Had sold the March 580 calls when they came tumbling down earlier this year for $39.50 and covered half today at about $12.50. I'll...

Both ES and YM. Sometimes a little NQ in there too.
