myminitrading, I liked your long market call in early Autumn but I'm on an opposite trade here. I'll slowly double my position as it goes in my favor but if not I'll take losses around mid 12400's. My downside target is around 11700 (on index; might have to roll my position over next month...

If there is a sentiment in the market that the manager of the fund is providing no value by actively managing the portfolio, the fund should be trading at the discount of [duration x management fee] i.e. 1% management fee x duration of 5 = 5% discount. If the market is bearish on the portfolio...

It flickers right now, coming on and off

All I can say is - funny numbers

The issue has been talked about for quite a while here in Canada, most prominently just before the election about a year ago. The Liberal finance minister back then quashed the taxation issue and some suspected it was an election ploy (and there was also a nice 10 % bounce on income trusts just...

Alexis Glick's market savviness on FOX will shred CNBC's eye candies to pieces.

My contention has nothing to do with politics (no idea where that comes from on your part) but everything to do with cooking the books for the benefit of the insiders (so that they may sell their shares at artificially inflated levels). Back in March 2005 when I was studying the said topic for...

No offense, but all that historic chart tells me is that we're still above the historic PE norm. Don't be bullish just because the current PE ratio seems "reasonable" but do be bullish as you please if you can justify the current PE ratio in relation to the future growth rate. PE is one of the...

An interesting look at the current market high found on yahoo finance: http://www.donharrold.net/videos/101906free.html Just a little heads up for ebullient LT "investors"

lol, you missed my point about GOOG. And as for the second part of your comment, yes, manipulation is done through preening "good" stocks so that the damage done by one "bad" stock is mitigated - for now.

Either these buyers today are on crack or I missed that GOOG is a compenent of the DOW.

Geez Dow almost revisiting 12000 again with one of its major components down 13 percent. I think calling these manipulators "crooks" is being gentle.

These days I just watch The Animal Planet while trading. At least their antics are cute.

I concur. I don't know which is worse: CNBC pumping Dow or seeing yet another "This is the market top or I'm leaving ET" thread. Is it just me or whenever the market shows some weakness there's an inevitable chime with a breaking news sign that says the Dow is at an all time high, followed by...

Choppy feed here. Geez, hope this doesn't become a routine. . .

I use IB almost exclusively for trading and pay a couple of grand a month in commissions (gladly so I might add) but in light of technical issues we are facing I'm going to look seriously at Velocity Futures and even direct access to T_T platform. IB, can you see this? Unhappy customers =...

Ugh, I got a little suspicious that we might get some technical issues when I couldn't log on to my account management over the weekend. Usually they shut down TWS over the weekend but leave the account management server up, but they must've done some kind of an upgrade on their end that's...

Heck, I usually wait a month or two before an upgrade and but this time I made an exception and boom, headshot! I doubt it's the upgrade issue though, I've an old box with the previous build and it's just as slow.

Trading in Montreal, Canada and it's beyond slow right now. It's probably IB issue this time around.

I actually was going to sign up for their news/squawk service until I found out I wouldn't be able to cancel my subscription online. And then I did some search about them on ET and it seems some people got welshed by them pretty good. I've never used the service and I'm sure a lot of people...
