Will try to keep this short. Willing to do the actual math from first hand experience if I am forced to. Every 'serious' 'big swinging dick' hedgefund, bulge bracket trader is thinking about one thing. The day that he can trade from home, the mountains, the beach, etc... I know this from...

Thanks, I actually have done a lot of going over trades and the stocks I trade best are ones between low 20's dollarwise and $60 or so with at least 5-6mil shares of volume a day. I still trade some of the high beta high price names on occassion, but my biggest consistency comes from stocks in...

Looks like you are in Dallas. If you have 7,55 and 63 and there are no problems with them. You wire the money in and download the software. 2-3 days and you are live.

Sorry, meant dollar down these do better. Commodities as we know are dollar denominated and tend to move higher as dollar goes lower. Cat moves with them, earth movers to do the mining? Never thought of that, just moves well lately with market higher/lower dollar and lower when opposite is true...

Let's get some ideas of peoples favorite stocks to trade. We all have them. Away from stocks that may be in the news or hot sectors, we all revert to a few names. Here are some of mine and what they tend to correlate to. Please add to the list, I think this could be very helpful for us all...

Complete sham. A $1799 Mac ProBook sold for $35.86. The site took in $2200 from bidders bidding it up in penny increments. It's a German site, illegal to German residents who are protected from it because it is considered gambling.

Maybe I was wrong, perhaps ET is being infiltrated by the extreme right wing. The Fourth Reich, goose-stepping their way onto a trading desk near you!

I'll take the last 3 posts as a case in point, Thank You! Who say's SAC is under investigation? Deepcapture.com - does this make it fact? Anyone ever hear of them before this thread? The whole lot of you remind me of Defazio. He has come right out and said; "when I was a kid my father was a...

Is it time to leave ET? This site started as a site by traders for traders. More and more it has become a forum for liberal ranting and raving. Are people signing up just to bash traders? As if we are the root of everyone's problems. Traders like Steve Cohen were once revered on here. Now...

Yes I'm sure it would give you much of the attention and 'hits' on your site that is your modus operandi which I understand. You probably won't get it because of the 'under the radar' platforms that hedge funds and their investors prefer. I have never been affiliated with any of the ones...

Weak. The far-reaching deepcapture site claims insider trading, then backs it up with some 6-7 year old e-mails. That the regulators already passed on! I think Reg FD is primarily like a 24 hour window thing with respect to analysts. Not exactly sure of the wording in Reg FD. Comparing notes...

I'm a little bit leary of window dressing coming into year-end. Additional buyers that want to show it on their books for year-end, like they were smart and had it all along. I really think it gets marked up in the next 4 1/2 sessions. I would look for some profit taking just into the new year...

Some great responses so far. I like to keep it a lot simpler. I make 'ticks' as I get in the money. If I'm long 5000, up a dime I'm down to 4000 . . . up .15 I'm at 2500. If it comes back in and I still like, I rebuy. If it trades up .25 from intitial cost, I rebuy and treat it the same as...

Home, You are close, but you can probably get them to .004/share. $250 as long as it includes reasonable data feeds like NYSE, ARCA, NSDQ, indexes like INDU, NDX, COMPX, etc... and a reasonable news feed like DJ or Reuters. It sounds like news is extra if charts are. Normally they throw in a...

Well that makes sense. They don't allow guns in the UK. :p

I wonder if this UK Chancelor is going to change his tune. Was probably a bluff, which it looks like he was called on. GS paid $3.2Bil in taxes to the UK last year. The highest of any financial firm. How could this guy say it would not be a bad thing if banks left. Other than RBS and Lloyds, UK...

Kerkorian still owns 56% of the stock. His cost is probably $60 or so. He is in no position to make a bid and probably is not a seller down here. He wanted certain MGM assets a few years ago for the real estate value. I would imagine that value has taken a fairly serious beating since '07 when...

How do you figure? On a % basis: 100 start of '08 -25 loses 25% ----------- 75 end of '08/start '09 +90 up 120% ----------- 170 Not only does he cover high water mark. he is up 70% over 2 years '08-'09

-too short a timeframe. Like to see a couple years. Building in the northern half of the country grinds to an essential halt from Thanksgiving to Easter no? This may be a normal occurence. Copper should fall with the dolllars rise too. FCX down from ~ $87 to ~ $76 in that same timeframe. Altough...

Cool. I would not have thought of that. Guess its not in me. A dog, like a Doberman or something scary, but not a gun. I surely would end up doing the Plaxico thing. Like the Entourage boys. They got a gun and thought they were so cool. Drama said I know my way around weapons, then it went off...
