WOW, could this call be any worse? What a joke, 5 minutes later the market drops 12 points. :eek:

I didn't look at your video, but it's my opinion that CNBC is a shill for the brokers (GS, MER, etc.) That, or they get all their info from the broker's own analysts, so same thing.

Another thing that has also changed is the nature of the volatility. Stocks and futures used to make smoother moves, now everything is being driven by bots. Anyone who traded the ES today got chopped up good. It was very volatile but moved so quickly it was hard as hell to trade. And yes, I...

You started attacking me you fool. You are the knob, as you say. We'll see. I say gold is a commodity. It's not a currency, that is "gold bug" hyperbole. I hope you get long at 3K. Good Luck with that bet. Lot's of people long from 300 who are laughing their asses off about now, IMO.

Okay oh mighty trader guru. Calling me ignorant makes you right, huh? Well buddy, "save the period from 1971 till now" is 37 years! So, if "They" manipulate the price lower and keep it there for another 37 years, you'll die broke. You are a moron if you think gold has a better chance of...

Well, Bush was an alcoholic drug addict junkie, and he can't even speak properly and was elected twice. Did you vote for him? I'm not necessarily for Obama, but at least it doesn't seem like his brain was affected by drugs like Dubya's obviously was.

I think Hydro's point is that, it is said that the wash out rate at IB's is very high. I personally have heard and read that one must first start as an analyst (feel free to correct the position names if I get it wrong) work there for 2 years, get promoted to associate, work 2 or 3 more years...

Anyone will give you under $5 with no volume requirements. If you do 30 sides a day, you can get $4 IMO. For what it is worth, years ago LW were advertising a free booklet on futures trading. I called up, and the guy asked if I was ready to open an account NOW. I said no, I just wanted...

I don't necessarily agree with the OP, however gold demand is being driven purely by speculators. Most of the gold is now going into GLD; they warehouse it as money comes into the ETF. Gold has very few industrial uses, at least that is not driving the price. Other commodities like platinum...

Yeah, that is why Dell stock tanked I think, because their machines became substandard. They used to be good; I worked for a large corporation that bought hundreds of desktops and laptops at a time. They stopped using Dell because they became so unreliable. They switched to HP & IBM...

First these banks sell everyone on bullshit mortgages, and Goldman has the balls to fade everyone. Now they are trying to drive consumers into the ground via oil. WTF, somebody needs to go to jail. This is one corrupt f'ing country. :eek: :mad: Taking advantage of speculators is one...

You can deduct up to 3000, and carry the rest forward into the next year. I misunderstood this at first, and went back and revised a previous year and received a refund. You can also carry the loss into the next year if your last trade of the year is a wash. For the OP, you need to read up...

That's what I did, and never had a problem. You just take the loss out of the cost basis on the next trade.

No, all schools aren't equal, but MY experience with Ivy graduates who I had to work with, leads me to believe it's alot of hype. Most good schools are using the same textbooks, and have good professors. Employers who hire in Ivy graduates at high salaries without interning them first don't...

Okay, wallnbroad, if you are making so much money trading, why do you want a JOB in the business? While you certainly don't need a degree to be successful, there are many jobs that require one to get an interview. That is the fact. I have worked for people that were as stupid as dog crap...

Yes this is good. Maybe CME will drop from 2.32 they charge now.

Looks like Holland Tunnel to me

Eventually implies highly likely. A better choice of words would have been Perhaps oe Possibly. :D

Okay, is it eventually, or not highly likely? :eek:

Women in the NYC area particularly superficial. It's not a money thing either, because California is also expensive yet there is a smaller percentage of these goldigging types. New York is just all about money. These stories about women divorcing men after 3 months don't make any sense to...
