I'm just trying to organize what markets are electronic and mini's, and their respective margins, hours, etc.. any good links??

not platforms, exchanges, i meant.

As far as I know, there are 4 platforms for E-trading: Globex, ECBOT, ACCESS, EmiNY.. Is this true?

I've traded the EMINY but not ACCESS.. Can anyone describe the difference, pros/cons?? Thanks..

They are overbuilding...some company that was going to sell 270 units as condos bailed and now they are just going to rent them out as apartments. Patience... If you buy, you should short a few of the CME LA housing futures... It's all a deck of cards...on big BLOW and it's all gonna come...

I have no debt, thank god. I have no house though - i still rent. I can't bring myself to buy something down here in SOCAL. It's just insane... I guess I should keep doing things the way I have been - I guess i just wish I had 10 times the money to trade with - and that in and of itself...

I've been noticing how BAD it is to buy time when trading bull call or bear put spreads. It's the worst thing you can do to tie up capital for so much time. I'm starting to get a better handle on ratio spreading and even just 1-1 spreads but now buying with under 30 days to EXP, right at the...

I haven't listened to CNBC for years, if that's what you mean by talking heads.. If you mean Fed Officials, then Fischer came out today and did his 2-step about inflation...worried...

Worried about inflation?? NAH! No inflation.. Worried about deflation?? NAH!! No deflation... Well there has to be something! How can we all be so off? I guess that's what makes a market...

Yes, but what kind of living did you make? Ramen noodle living? or Lobster at the Bellagio living? Poker, like card counting, is not about luck. it's about skill. Is luck involved? SURE! Luck is part of everything. But the skillful will always make money in the long run...
