What is "the cable"?

IMO, the US auto manuf. suffer from the long held belief of the inferiority of their products compared to foreign imports. There was a piece in the newspaper around here (NJ) about an auto mechanic who said that the new American cars are just as good as foreign cars, but people still remember...

Yeah, well not many people are mindreaders. LOL

I don't know which stocks you are referring to, but the whole market works like that. The brokerage houses issue "strong buy" and the stock tanks 10 percent. Some people lose alot of money on that advice. The small stocks moved by"criminals", at least anyone with any sense only invests a...

The guy stole 9 million. He should get 30 years. They give bank robbers 20 years sometimes for a few thousand. I know he didn't use a gun, but stealing someones savings from years of hard work is the same IMO. It's the only way crap like this will stop. If you gave me 9 million, I'd happily...

How true! Barron's is for the sheep.

I'm considering trading futures with IB, and from what I have read their data feed is a 'burst' style, which doesn't capture every tick. My question is, will the T&S capture every trade, or will there be some missing? I think some of the front ends for TWS look good, but I'm concerned about...

I live in NJ, and Macy's, Bloomingdales, Neiman-Marcus, Nordstrom and even Kohls and Target have been heavily discounting (20 - 50%) for the last month. I don't think they are too confident.

Yeah you really can't cry about missing out on this. You have to put it into perspective. More often than not, IPOs open really high, and dive. The thing could have just as easily dived to 100 in the first 5 minutes. Buying a stock up 100% is a big risk, you really have to be prepared for a...

Don't give up on dating...find some cool chicks who like you and don't care. Women who need to be wined and dined are worthless anyway. At your age, you don't need money to have an abundance of chicks. Hell, I'm quite a bit older than you, and I can still baffle em' with bullshit :D

I'd be careful with this one...even CNBC hyping it up, I would not be surprised if this went under $100 before moving to new highs.

According to Yahoo historical closing prices, TOL was trading at $2. Having split several times only bolsters the case for them to drop further. How's this for an argument: their business hit a brick wall. It's not growing anymore, it's in decline, and will be as the fed will likely increase...

Hydro, you don't know what you're talking about. TOL could easily go back to $5. I know plenty about stocks. If you think they bottomed here, fine. I disagree. But calling me stupid because of my nick is funny from someone called HYDROBLUNT. LOL

I would stop using OEC. Somehow, you are having a problem with them. Who knows..it could be some distant connection within the internet backbone. Others are not having this problem. But you need to drop them and stick with one of your other reliable brokers.

I think you need to clarify what you mean by "work for a trading firm". If you mean Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch, then the answer is simple; you need to come out of a great university with 3.9 GPA to even be considered for one of those companies.

LOL, everyone who thinks the homebuilders have bottomed needs to look at a "max" chart of TOL on Yahoo finance. The last time housing really took a hit, the early 90's, TOL and KBH were 2 dollar stocks. Robert Toll is going to keep calling a bottom because he and his brother(?) Bruce Toll are...

The question is what is more reliable. I have both cable and Verizon DSL. The DSL is faster(not FIOS), but is far less reliable than my cable line. Both offer plenty of bandwidth for trading.

This is great advice. AAPL is one of the worst stocks to try and scalp.

You really hit the nail on the head. The ECN's were just businesses that were ultimately looking for a buyout (payday). Now that both NYSE and Nasdaq are public companies, I think there will be a merger in the next few years. There is a pilot program next year involving both NYSE & Nasdaq...
