I don't think everyone needs a 3500 sq/ft home. The route that new homes have traversed this past decade (from "Levittown" communities to mcMansions) has definitely added to this price inflation. And a return to more modest living environment would probably help return prices to equilibrium. You...

Has the market hit bottom? Many builders are beginning to tout the bottom of the real estate crisis, that the recent sub-prime crisis has shaken out the weak players and we are in for an extended period of consolidation (i.e. relatively no price movements up or down) And yet, starting today...

rate cut is already being priced into the dollar drop. Looks like they are pricing in a 50 bp cut, but might be caught off guard if (more likely when) Fed only cuts 25 bp and brings the rate back to where it should have been when they overshot. Added pressure on the Fed tho is the large amt of...

I'm a currency trader and I think that the Financial Times is better for me. WSJ is too company specific whereas FT is more macro related. It really all depends on what you need. Concerning free online sources, well the old saying holds true, you get what you pay for. Especially Bloomberg...

After reading this post, the most important lesson I think you need to learn is the old "Bulls, bears, pigs" adage. To me, it is the most important lesson that anyone needs to learn to trade profitably, more so than "the trend is my friend". Pls take this constructively. When following this, I...

I htought this was a thread about which state would have the higher defaults in home mortgages, Michigan or Florida. :P Amazing what a few months will do to change one's perspective. BTW, I think Florida will have more defaults.

From their own webpage: MetaTrader 4 is an online trading complex designed to provide broker services to customers at Forex, Futures and CFD markets. So I don't think you are going to find any brokers using MT4 to trade stocks.

or down. Some of us like to short.

Refco HAD an agreement to sell their fx customers to FXCM which would have allowed Refco customers full access to all their monies, but Refco creditors rejected the sale because they wanted a higher price for the unit. FXCM upped their 120MM offer to 160MM, but was still rejected. In the end...

Not only are the Chinese throwing anything into the mixture of the items they produce and sell to the rest of the world, they have been busy as well hacking into government computers around the world, notably Germany and the US Defense Department...

Number 2, because number one is a dealing desk and you are not trading directly with the market.

You can open a retail account yourself with Assent and Genesis and get rates that match or beat what IB offers. I am not talking about day trading firms. Both these companies will open accounts for the little guy, not just prop firms. In fact, Genesis has a division that does $3 trades using the...

The Swiss may not hit you up with a tax, but if you are a US citizen, then you still have a tax issue. THIS IS US TAX LAW. Ask any tax professional. Or if too lazy, go to DailyFx forums (apologies to Baron) and look thru their tax forum to understand tax implications to US citizens trading...

If your broker DOES NOT charge you a commish, then they are a dealing desk and they mark up the spread between the pairs. That's how they make their money. You DO NOT trade directly with the market but rather that broker's dealing desk - they need to offset your trade. So if you are an...

That's a rather broad brush you paint with, don't you think?

You have been asking these same questions now since Feb. Have you not taken it upon yourself to contact any of the firms you seem to be interested in? Or are you just here trolling?
