they can go up more than 100%

got out overnight at 118 -01

IMO good short here in the dec bond futures at 117 - 20. we're coming up to friday's spike high on negligible volume, equities MAY be stopping their drop for the day, GS MAY be stopping its decent around 69 or 70; commodities rebounding. So, those are all negative factors for treasuries, of...

tulving, one of the biggest and competitive dealers in the country (and not a moron) is willing to BUY boxes of eagles at $4 over spot, JM or englehard 100 ounce bars at $1.75 over spot and pre 1964 junk coins at $2.00 over spot. how's that for a divergence in pricing?

gas under 3 here now

It doesn't matter how much you guys rant and rave that the country needs this bailout. The average guy on the street is overwhelmingly against it. In the end, congress has to do what constituents want. Nevermind that they happen to be exactly right in this situation. You wall st appologists...

actually gold was already up sixty dollars by the time the usd moved from positive to negative territory today just after noon.

i think dylan's line was way off base. his basic question was: "how can you cut these ratings right now and singlehandedly tank the stock of aig?" well the job of sandp is to rate these companies objectively. it is not to support or crush the stock price. the ramification of the rating...

Just off the top of my head this has to be the biggest or one of the biggest moves in the euro since i've been watching markets (late 2000) it was down over 3 handles earlier today.

45 cents in mid 2002

I don't know why... I was wondering that myself. I have noticed this for a while, and it is very interesting. It was up in the low and mid 30s back at the january and march lows. Now, the dow and sp are below where they were back at the previous lows and the vix is much lower. Stock prices...

Maybe because it wasn't a great trade even though it went up 50%. It just wasn't worth the risk and there were opporunities to be had elsewhere. 50% off the lows is not that impressive for what is supposed to be a bull market. I'd say avoiding u.s. stocks for the past five years while...

is this the case when you have futures postions open or are totally flat?

stock price does not reflect how much a company earns.

oh well didn't work. i'm out at 13.61

folks, i'm looking at a potentially swift, solid countertrend trade in may soybeans. the chart over the last few weeks has a bunch of h/s type resistance around right here. plus we have a micro type h/s setup forming over the trading session today. I am short from 1338 and am looking for a...

What's funny is that you are trying to be sarcastic but you're actually not. As painful as a breakdown of the banking system is, a breakdown of the currency is much worse. I am curious to see what you and your ilk will say when we see the full effect of this monetization of bankruptcy play...

I'm not having much luck searching cme's website or anyone else's. I'm trying to get old settlement prices, say the dec07 sp500 contract. anyone know? i used to have a bloomberg and could just type in spz7 fut GO or whatever. Thanks.

It is better because in a typical overnight session, the spread on ten contracts of russell 2k is probably 1.5-2 points wide. Now, on this particular session, I don't recall exactly, but the spread on the 10 russell contracts was probably more like 3 points wide. meaning for him to sell out...

Will the hundreds of thousands of contracts that the commercials are short have to be bought back? Will they have to BUY?
