    Is A Fed Cut Already Priced In?

    There was a Harris Poll that was released yesterday which asked the general public whether or not the weak dollar was good or bad for exports. Across a range of education types, more than half the people feed into the media hysteria about the dollar exploding and believe that the declining...

    [b]Should ET Boot Timothy Sykes?[/b]

    WTF? If you don't like what he has to say, just put him in your ignore list. Christ, the only time I see his name is when some numbnuts either starts a thread bashing him or feels compelled to quote him. Put him on your ignore list. I did.

    Is A Fed Cut Already Priced In?

    Everyone is expecting a 25 bp rate cut this afternoon. So are the prices already relective of this? Is the dollar already sold off with this in mind? If so, if we get what we expect, does the dollar THEN take a nose dive if it has already been priced in? The past 3 weeks there has already been...

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    Down again. I think it's time to go with the 2 account system. One for US and one for Asia and just move the money back and forth.

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    US data center is down. Again. All the more reason why IB should give their clients a choice of servers to log onto during sign in process. They have 3 server farms. Bump up Asia and Europe and you have your redundant servers for clients.

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    2007/10/31 06:31 US Data Center System Outage We are experiencing major technical problems with the US data center. Clients who connect to this center may experience problems logging in, submitting orders and receiving market data. Usually They play it down calling it a minor...

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    They should invest in the infrastructure to beef up the servers and make them the same throughout. If you are saying the US is more formidable because more IB traders here, then beef up Europe and Asia to match. Yes, I know, servers cost money, but having down time costs everyone in the long...

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    What I meant was you just can't offset a trade by going opposite with another broker and avoid margin calls. My bad. should have been clearer. Remember yesterday most people couldn't access the platform until after markets closed. if using the intraday margins, you may have been screwed...

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    The 2 broker system doesn't work that well. If you are in a position, you can't offset it by going the opposite way in another account somewhere else, especially if you end up with a margin call because of any sudden movements.

    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    I think a simple choice when logging on (to coincide with another thread about IB servers) is to give people the option as to which server to log on with US-Europe-Asia. One goes down, log onto the other servers. May be a little slower, but has to be faster response time than 2 hrs+ down...

    First housing, now Credit Card debt...

    They have been ignoring it forever. Back in the early 90's the same laments were made about the US consumer's credit spending and lack of savings rate. Here it is 15 yrs later and the consumer is still being nudged to continue their spending thru financing. It was better a few yrs ago when...
