This week the nyse has added a number of stocks to the no short list that were not originally included by the SEC. Some big names like IBM. My question is, would this have any effect on the other exchanges or ecns?

If you don't me asking, how did you get started using opiates? Did it have anything to do with the stress of trading? Personally, my trading suffers if I have any kind of distraction in my personal life. I can't imagine what its like trying to trade while suffering from substance addiction...

The deflation trade in the metals is over, it lasted all of two months. With their most recent moves, the fed/treasury have made it clear they intend to inflate their way out of our current situation, regardless of what happens to the dollar. The politicians in this country are no longer...

Wow, thats the first million dollar day I've seen here. Whats with all the separate accounts? Are you running automated systems?

You guys need a better understanding of how bankruptcy works. Yeah, there is a good chance of Barclay's buying leh, but it will be a fraction of the price they would've paid if LEH was still operating, and the proceeds won't be nearly enough to pay off the debt. That said, there is always...

The lehman brokerage firm has not declared bankruptcy, only the holding firm. I would not expect any disruption to customer assets.

What I want to know is how many shares did he really own of leh? 50..100..200? Cause we all know its not 200k :p

Yeah..OK...if you say so. Are you sure you didn't misplace a decimal point? :D For someone who claims to be a superstar trader, you have such a misguided view on the leh situation. Its like someone claims to be Tiger Woods...and then completely misses the ball when they go for a swing...

Please let us know exactly how many shares of LEH you own and at what cost basis. It will be that much more hilarious to us when it opens on monday at $0.50 after having been split up and taken over piecemeal.

You need to enable the arca data feed. It costs $10/month, log onto account managment to do so.

I'm getting crossed quotes everywhere with TWS, not even getting any quotes for some names. Running version 882.2. Anyone else having issues?

RM, What makes this year so much more difficult than last year when you cleared 1mil?

Do you still hope to make your 1.2mil goal by the end of the year? If so, that could be a cause of your trouble. Setting absolute dollar amounts can cause discretionary traders to force trades through even if the opportunity is not there. I stopped setting fixed goals a long time ago. As long...

You always will pay a premium when you clear through a large investment bank. For doing 10mil shares a month, $0.0035 +passthroughs or $0.0045 all/in would be a reasonable rate at a tier-one clearing firm. You can get $0.001 + passthroughs if you go with a small self clearing firm like...

I used to do 100% of my volume IB. That is until I started moving large blocks which is impossible without full ECN functionality, which IB stubbornly refuses to provide. I can't think of any other direct access broker that doesn't offer this feature.

Thats true but thats a thesis which will take decades to fully play out. Doesn't explain why oil prices have doubled in the past year.

NASA's entire annual budget is only around $17 billion.

Here's the REAL question I want to know: Is Jack a mere internet troll who likes to mislead others, or does he actually believe his own ramblings? It'd be pretty sad if it was the latter. Who knows how much of his life he's wasted away with this thing.

I would like Hitman and Seanote's trading journal threads restored. Also, praetorian2's Great New Pattern Thread. But thats just the tip of the iceberg of great threads that are now gone. Surely Baron you must realize that 2000-2003 was the peak time of truly useful et threads. If you...

EDS has been trading for a while now. If you are using IB, they are still showing it halted, which is a mistake.
