Did the trade occur outside of regular trading hours? You have to specify that you want stops triggered in the after market otherwise TWS will ignore the order. There are order default settings in TWS for each product (stocks, futures, etc.). Each have different settings you can change.

I asked the question on another thread if the next president has the power to replace him in mid-term. I never got an answer though. Would that be unprecedented or can it be done? It would be good for the country to start with a clean slate in 2009.

I looked around but didn't find it on c2. Do you have a link directly? I didn't see a way to search by just name. Thanks.

I thought this was from the Onion at first but I see it is from the NY Post. Getting hard to tell the difference these days.

Yeah, I think he was in better shape during his public service days. One thing he could do to help stop global warming is cut out the steak dinners when he is on the road.

It's him doing an impersonation of GWB as president. Notice the picture of Tony Blair in the background. :p

Well, really they need to improve coverage of economic releases. I can get the headlines of the report faster on MarketWatch than from Reuters real-time. That is sad. Also, whenever a story hits their wire you can probably guess it is about 5 minutes too late. They are often parroting what...

Providing real-time news. How about that?

I'm going to change my pick to UBS. The gnomes of Zurich are scrambling today.

Hey hawk1, what is the link to your system on C2?

Why doesn't Reuters work on providing a real alternative to Bloomberg instead of wasting time with this financial Myspace nonsense? I don't think it would take much to turn Reuters real-time news into serious contender if they would improve some basic things.

Why pay Al Gore 175K for a speech? Just buy Inconvenient Truth on DVD and play it for your audience. He will pretty much say the same thing in person and you will save $174,985.01. Also, only a couple of years ago Al Gore got about 100K per speech. I guess Gore's prices are experiencing rapid...

I have used Reuters "real-time" news for about 8 months and have been underwhelmed with it so far. They have pretty good coverage of commodities and some good front page stories but they should really improve their coverage of reports of economic releases. Also, they are usually pretty slow with...

I hope this post was a joke and you were just kidding. Oil hit 105.97 this morning. Hope your stop was pretty tight if you were serious.

I loved the one where the SEC filed civil charges against the two Enron in-house lawyers like 5 years after the scandal broke. Ironically, one of the lawyers, Jordan Mintz, was one of the few in Enron who tried to do the right thing once he realized all the shenanigans he was surrounded by...

I don't mind a woman president either just as long as it is not Hillary Clinton.

I used to think Patrick Byrne was a completely crazy person. Now I believe he is only half crazy and the other half might have some valid points. I watched the presentation he put together awhile back and thought it raised some troubling questions. His blog is definitely entertaining.

Here is a link to his blog: http://community.overstock.com/deepcaptureblog/

No wonder he has "fallen out of love" with politics. The article puts his net worth at 100m. Astonishing rate of return over 7 years wouldn't you say?

Halfway? Wow, someone should start a dead pool to guess which major bank goes under first. My pick would have to be Citigroup at present.
