    Can a MM get busted if he does the following...

    If you have an idea that might save America...

    So, nobody here knows who to contact & what to do even if you REALLY had an idea? Is all the intelligence & creative skills of America really supposed to be contained within a few elected officials?

    To what extent is what's going on manipulation?

    People used to say that for small stocks they are responsible, but not big stocks. Do you think things are different now that they can take advantage of panic and fear? Please give practical examples. Also, to what extent do you think the surprising strength of the dollar relative to many...

    Has Elite Trader "jumped the shark?"

    I am surprised ET let you get away with such a posting. The real problem is traders don't have money to trade, or have lost some of their excitement, and understandably so.

    Can the settings from the server be downloaded on this? How would you describe the differences between the two, i.e. what would this be lacking?

    We have not been able to get passed Java, albeit we have reloaded Java as well, hence it seems the problem is with IB. Anyone else having this problem?

    There are snipers and stuff – but there were two things that were particularly hard for me. One is that almost every single house is booby-trapped – even with families inside! Because it looks good on the news [against Israel] to have a whole family killed… the people are forced to stay...
