That sounds like a really mean break-up line.

Some of the higher volume can be attributed to the various "rolls" going on right now in the index products. They all have their own rules, e.g. from the 5th to 9th business days, but if you wanted to dig into it you could find the largest ETFs/ETNs and look up their policies.

A suggestion: In the new/recent posts page, which was the home page in the previous version, you did not display posts from the three Community Lounge topics and the Feedback topic. I thought that was a good idea and hope you can restore the filter.

Whatever else he is, I don't think BigMike is a big time investor or trader. I stumbled across a SCTY thread on his site and he posted some brokerage account screen shots from a couple of good trades - OptionsXpress, $8.95 per side (list price on their website).

Yes, I trade it but it solely on a discretionary basis. Since about February, it's had some sharp moves and the volatility is likely to stick around for a while. Harvest is winding down in Brasil but the quantity remains a big unknown. Most people expect that the drought will have a negative...

To my knowledge, there's not a specific report or day of the month that you need to watch out for, like you do with API, EIA or USDA. The two largest producers and exporters that drive the bus are Brazil and Vietnam. Production estimates from their agric depts or trade associations can move...

Maybe someday, but Solazyme seems further along than most (all?) in commercializing, and they're doing it in closed tanks and providing 'sunlight' via sugar (corn in Iowa and cane in Brasil). They don't talk a lot about biodiesel at the present time; it's all about $100/oz cosmetics, food...

...who was embroiled in a payola scandal of sorts for a while, but I think he came out of it with his reputation intact. It was a big news story, it's probably still referenced online or in wikipedia.

In a couple of months it may all be moot if the TradeMonster - OptionsHouse merger goes through. (the brokerages are combining, not sure what happens to the OptionMonster education/advisory component of the deal)

^ There have been a number of articles and reports about recent global E&P expenditures vs. production. It's not pretty. In the US shale plays, if most of the product is oil or 'wet gas' the companies can do OK and better than OK if the product is nearly all oil. It's the dry gas wells that...

You might try Barchart.com (see attachment). I use them for some futures data and I've been surprised to see the announcements they've made about stocks, stock screeners, etc. Their ads can be removed for $20/mo, but that just leaves a bunch of white space - it doesn't give you more real...

This link has been on a number of Jack Schwager's tweets lately. Like Sgt. Schultz, I know nothing! ... just passing it along http://fundseeder.com/ <<jack schwager ‏@jackschwager 19m http://Fundseeder.com beta phase about to start. If you want to participate & have IB account or...

A quick way to get an activity oveview - without punching in all the symbols on IB - is to look at the CME page for that contract. Here's an example for the porkers. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/livestock/lean-hogs.html There's a "volume" tab above the table that has...

A few thoughts: 1. You can ignore the ICE grain contracts. They are CME lookalikes with very little volume. 2. You can ignore the CME softs. They are ICE lookalikes with very little volume. 3. The CME and ICE both have active energy contracts so it's not as clear cut. That's just FYI in case...

I think OIV and OVX are fine - they're free and at least one of them updates every 15 seconds (I hope I'm remembering the interval correctly). I'm not aware of a similar VIX-like measure that exists for natural gas, although ivolatility.com used to publish a NG IV figure using their IVX...

I'm not aware of any scheduled reports that cause sharp price moves like the storage report on Thursday mornings. A significant change in the weather forecast can do the trick, but you already need to be in a "weather market" like this past winter to see rapid and large moves that are tied to...

What I find odd is how 2500 active accounts can support 20 Associated People plus support staff. As for the complaint, I skimmed through it and it appears to be mostly record keeping related. Perhaps they're minor items individually, but there are several of them and it sounds like the NFA...

EIA-914 (Monthly Gross Production), while not nearly as timely as the weekly storage report, can re-set supply expectations if a particular field is pumping a lot more or less than the market thought. Depending on trading style, you might also follow daily or weekly CDDs, HDDs (cooling and...
