    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    Shirley you jest. It would serve you well if you read more carefully and more importantly think a bit more critically about what your senses take in. The writer does four things in the article: (1) gives first hand accounts of what he witnessed; (2) gives his opinion on various things; (3)...

    If you're a trader, you're a loser.

    Hehe...brings back memories of my broker saying "OK, I'll call you back when your order is filled," and I'd say "thanks" and hang up. Those were the days...I would feel guilty when using odd lots. With all the technology now, no one starts out that green anymore, I know.

    NY state seizing bank accounts without warnings

    It's called an "attachment." Sometimes it's to satisfy a judgment, but you would likely know there was a judgment against you because there would be a court order. In your relative's case, it's by the state of NY. I would guess this might be tax related, as the state tax collector needs no...

    Ohio House passes bill to require GPS in all vehicles

    Was slow to catch on, but the drive by download attempts upon clicking the link raised my suspicions. Still not sure what that was about. Had to use taskmanager to kill all the popups. CNN infecting visitors with a virus? Now that would be a real April fools prank.

    Ohio House passes bill to require GPS in all vehicles

    Ohio probably learned from what happened in Arizona.... Man Dons Mask for Speed-Camera (Sept. 8) - An Arizona man who has been served 37 speeding tickets in the mail is refusing to pay them because he says the pictures captured by the state's photo-enforcement cameras don't show that it's...

    Ohio House passes bill to require GPS in all vehicles

    Statistics...riiight. And here I am thinking all those cameras increasing in my area is because they're so profitable. Silly me. Let's all repeat the party line.... SAFETY...goood ......SPEEDING...baaad.

    New US Law: 30% tax on outgoing capital flows

    I just read through the provision for the first time... First, the law doesn't go into effect until 2013. Second, I don't read it applying to wires sent to a foreign national. Third, even if you had a foreign account and you are a US person, and the wire was going to your foreign...

    New US Law: 30% tax on outgoing capital flows

    So...let me get this straight: the United States enacts a tax law that requires foreign banks to become collection agents for the IRS or cease doing business with Americans. Just like that, huh? Why do I get the feeling that foreign banks will avoid the hassle and not take any US customers...

    Ping times to foreign data server

    I've traded ES from Asia with 300ms-400ms ping times to my broker's US servers. I monitor on 5m bars and have noticed no difference in terms of partials or slippage on 20 contracts from when I trade in the States where I usually get ping times under 100ms. For me latency is not the problem...

    Chat Rooms

    LOL...C'mon, man. That's your response after the guy called you out and said you are a fake and stealing people's money? Then you have to pretend to slobber over his hypothetical track record. Sheesh...it's hard not to wince after reading that. I don't know...it's been a long while since I've...

    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    I'm with you. Means plunging back into stocks but I wouldn't mind that at all. Would consider including OPM, no fee, just for the fun of seeing how many millionaires would result. Will be interesting to see the new flavor of the day in the next secular bull. Green tech, maybe. Or something...

    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    Just admit it. Your posts are as worthless as mine are. Except you have 15x more worthless posts than I do, give or take. I do give you credit for finding just the right graphic to convey your worthless point, however. I could do that too but I'm too lazy. Cheers.

    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    You have almost 10,000 posts here to my 600 over about the same time span. How about pointing out some posts of yours that you deem to be of "practical value"? For me, I'm just here bullshitting. Don't look for anything of practical value in what I post.

    Here we go with demands for proof. The demands for "real-time calls" can't be far behind.

    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    Your point is valid. It's like the person who asks to be taught how to make just $200-$300 per day trading. He's not greedy he says, not looking to get rich, but wants only enough to support himself and his family, as though that somehow puts him on a different learning path than someone who...

    Day trading article on nytimes.com

    I don't disagree with anything you wrote. What's to refute? I made an opinion that my experience tells me that the average person doesn't begrudge someone making $100K/yr because that's something they encounter in their ordinary experience. You cited some statistics showing that $100K/yr...
