    yeah back in 2000, there were plenty of days like this. false-hope rallies, i called them. people used them to dollar cost average down, much to their account's demise.

    selling options with no margin requirement?

    forget pc-span, use occ's calculator for free. https://cpm.theocc.com/tims_online.htm go to s & p 500, then look for es. this uses tims methodology instead of span, but they're similar enough for your purposes. again note that some brokers use more stringent margin requirements than...

    Eliot Spitzer

    ah c'mon, boys will be boys. anyway, maybe he did this because his wife wasn't giving him what he needed at home? who knows what goes on in a typical marriage. besides, look at his wife then look at the selection of hotties at the escort service he used. the temptation was too much...

    Japs jerk themselves off into oblivion

    sounds like a new technical indicator. when japanese men are masturbating excessively and the birthrate declines, it's time to short the nikkei.

    How much will stock trad3r lose in '08?

    in reality you can't select anything over 25k because that implies he had that much to begin with. unless we're counting equity in a paper trading account.

    The Elite Trader's Account Size

    the people voting are exaggerating or they're not the same people who post, because there's no way the percentages in the poll reflect the reality of the posts. there are subtle clues in et posts that give you an idea of how much people have. when you have larger accounts, there are issues in...

    Why auto unions never learn?

    gm and ford are fubar because of the healthcare and pension benefits they've promised the retirees. it's quite a gig to be a uaw worker, all you do is tighten bolts and press some buttons for $60/hr. for many decades, american automakers dominated and they became complacent. the japanese...

    Banks urged to give underwater homeowners money...

    lol do you guys think banks are charities? there's absolutely no chance they'll partially forgive debt. they would just foreclose the property at a loss of they have to. if they reduce the debt, there's still no guarantee the borrower will make payments in the future. there's a better...

    there's a word for these lads...... LUCKY

    get outta here nutmeg. it's every adolescent boy's fantasy to bang his hot social studies teacher. don't take this away from your son, when you have one. give him a condom and tell him to enjoy his youth. there aren't many hot chicks in the world and the opportunity to do one is fleeting...

    What happens when the fed gets to 0?????

    lotsa idiots here. low short-term rates don't necessarily cause housing booms. fed funds were very low through much of the 50's and half of the 60's, but housing only increased slightly (when adjusted for inflation). some years, housing was flat or declined. the annualized increase was...

    ib must be selling order flow on options

    this would only be practical for fully electronic exchanges/products. for options like spx/oex on cboe, it would take too long, especially when you factor in the cancellation of the order before it gets sent to the next exchange.

    PLUMBING - Replacing hot water tank?

    if you use wd40 on a potable water fitting.... after you free the fittings, i'd burn away any traces of wd40 still on the fittings (using a torch). you don't want that in your water heater or water supply lines. i'd try cooking spray first. if it doesn't work then heat the fitting...

    How much further do you think house prices will drop?

    it's too hard to predict the national r.e. market so i won't. but for certain bubbly areas: i would say las vegas and central california will bottom in 2011-2013 due to the massive over-building. who the hell wants to live in the desert out in the middle of nowhere (like bakersfield)...
