    The Fed needs to start raising rates!

    Looks like more people are getting on the banwagon of higher rates, you have to applaud Barron's for hopefully getting things moving finally. Perhaps the Fed will feel obliged to at least sound a little more hawkish. And btw, Stiglitz also said that the mantra of bubbles not being identifiable...

    Where can I get historic fundamentals data (EPS, DIV, etc) for indexes?

    For P/E ratios and so on I believe some people use the Morningstar database.

    Windows 7 Will Let Microsoft Track Your Every Move - Webmonkey

    Another POS this Windows 7, XP Pro is a bit of a POS, Vista apparently a total POS. Windows 2000 is the best OS I have ever used. I would buy boxes and install my copy of Win2K on all of them but the problem is these ahole developers everywhere are desupporting Win2k . Software developers...

    Fed Reserve Bank of Kansas City Pres: "Fed should raise interest rates"

    Just what I said here, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177872 and by the way Peter Boockvar at Miller Tabak thinks the same, even Roubini says Fed is taking big risks. The absolute recklessness of the Fed is in communicating they are there for an extended period of...

    Sorry doom and gloomers. The real estate market is hot in California.

    no matter what happened to your RE market, it's a govt organized scam, it's an outrage that prices are being propped up by Fed intervention , tax credits for home buyers, loan modifications etc. It's an outrage. Govt has zero business in propping up house prices and protecting homeowners...

    I feel for you, I would be freaking out if I relied on an automated program through IB.

    Interesting post about IB's MM vs. Broker conflicts.

    you just reposted some guy's post on wilmott finance, why don't you just pm that guy and try to know more about his allegations. Personally I wouldn'tcare if IB datamined my trades and most of us shouldn't care even though the thought is upsetting and it should not be left unpunished. IB has...

    FX with SIPC protection

    No true . There are a number of brokers such as IB who sweeps the funds into an SIPC insured account. MB trading I believe offers FX and Tradestation as well . How good are they ? Any others ?

    FX with SIPC protection

    Besides IB which really sucks for FX because of the ill designed (and overcomplicated) interface and unorthodox accounting -not to mention the trading hours-, is there another broker that's as good as for ex, OANDA (fair prices under all conditions ) also with low or zero commissions ?

    IB TWS: A tragedy in the making?

    Complaining on here will not accomplish anything because IB doesn't care. They have shown this for years, they don't give a damn if you don't like the new version, what matters is how they can get ahead as a technology company to pump up the stock price, but the stock has a been a dog of the...

    Medical resources for the elderly

    you don't know what you are talking about. Well american seniors are just getting confirmation that they are expendable , too ugly and too bothersome to be taken care of by their own children , and even the state doesn't want them anymore. The future of society. Maybe they should distribute...

    Can IB stop stupid and useless features?

    Why are people in love with IB ? It's like the buy- the- dips- to- the -moon crowd. One day when they get their a$$ handed to them (with the kind of shit described above) they will start singing a different tune. And that will happen because TWS is a timebomb. If you are doing business with...

    Can IB stop stupid and useless features?

    +1 "People that like these stupid features are the IB programmers because it’s their job security. More garbage they create more they are paid." It 's just what I said before , the right-out- of- college geniuses at IB tech department are only interested in building the most advanced...

    Two big ETF mysteries appeared today 10/01/09

    speculation. market is a casino. I wanted to short those things too last week, I figured it could still go a bit higher for a few days, then I forgot about it. How dumb. Basically I think those ETF's have become the tail wagging the dog. What do you use to track the corporate bond market ?

    The Fed needs to start raising rates!

    It's certainly diffficult to AGREE on what constitutes a bubble but for some it's not so difficult to identify a bubble, the reason it's "difficult to identify " for the Fed and Wall St folks is because a bubble is a golden goose for the financial sector and for politicians who get to ride it...
