And it's 1200 still. Oh, wait .... it was down to 1163 45 minutes ago. :)

IMHO Bloomie started going downhill when they stopped running live coverage of the Asian markets during the week, instead running (and re-running, and re-re-running) their canned programs. Still better for a quick-hit on what's happening in the markets than CNBC I think. Maybe. *shrug*...

We've all commented for years how bad CNBC is for market coverage. By contrast, Bloomberg used to be the mature big brother and a place you could go to for more sane, balanced, "quieter" financial news and analysis, but nowdays it's becoming more and more CNBC'ish in its tone and coverage. (I...

Hrm. Only took word of a possible delay to drop the /ES this morning. Go figure. :)

.... and watch it go down just as fast if the 'deal' doesn't get done, or done in time.... :)

Magic Jack ... you know, those 10-second "fragment" commercials they run twice in the same ad block. GEICO, just because they f---king saturate the airwaves. Some of them are amusing, but they piss me off due to sheer repetition. Also the recent renewed running of Vita Nelson's Moneypaper...

Also wonder if (or how) the clearing change will impact positions we hold in institutional-class shares of mutual funds. Even if we can't start new positions, can we continue to add to our existing positions? I asked TOS and they have no information on this yet.

Prodigio isn't doing futures yet, but I think it's coming sometime soon. If you want to trade futures off a 5 or 15m TOS chart, I think that should be okay. I trade futures elsewhere but from what I've heard from other TOS futures traders, tick-scalping or really small timeframes on the...

Well, technically his claim is correct: either HE made money or someone else made money. So yes, all of his trades indeed were winners to someone. :) (Sorry, couldn't resist.....)

Yeah, that's a double-whammy for the network. :( I liked him too ... only really got annoyed a few times over the years when I was watching CNBC regularly. I'll always miss his signon: "Liiiiiiiiiiive ..... from the financial capitol of the world........this is Squawk on the Street....."...

Who cares? We all get lucky and/or have runaway winners at times: 27 March 2007 Order Number: 36292176 Symbol : .UKODA Description : DNDN APR 5 Call Stock : DNDN at 4.73 Action : BOT TO OPEN Quantity : 10 contract(s) Price : $1.05 Commission ...

Might be a paper trading hiccup. Definately check it out, though! My general rule of thumb is to close out my expiring positions on Wed or Thurs of expiration week just to avoid any problems - technical, economic, political, natural, idiotic, whatever - that may come up on expiration Friday...

At 2353 ET, the futures are moving like it's RTH. Unbelievable. /ES down 29.75 /TF down 19.00 /YM down 259.00 Frak me....I'm having flashbacks to Lehman (or Bear) Sunday. ETA: ES limit down is 60 points during Globex session. Jan 2011...

Nikkei down 1000, S&P down 21, Dow down 250 at 11PM in the US East. If I didn't know better I'd say this was Sept '08. Gods help the people of Japan.... ;(

I never said they should be a short for THIS story. They'll be a good short later this year and for a good while afterwards, I think.

(site and many mirrors are slow in responding.....) Source: http://bankofamericasuck.com/ specifically -- http://bankofamericasuck.com/03/13/ex-bank-of-ameica-employee-can-prove-mortgage-fraud-part-1 And yeah, IMHO they're all shorts --- especially once the Fed's free money feast...

OpenDNS, hands down. But, DNS 'speed' only matters when you make the initial connection to your data provider / broker. After that, the route to that site is cached and the 'speed' of the DNS server becomes irrelevant. In other words the 'speed' of your DNS server won't lead to faster...

Interesting (er, "surprisingly responsible") that they include wording about "...in one day or less" .... IMHO IB (or FactorShares) gets a thumbs-up from me for saying that so clearly and plainly up-front.

If you want Mac native, go with TOS. Unless your'e doing scalps for ticks, you should be ok there -- but give 'em a day or two as their unannounced 'surprise' minor software update this weekend is kind of ducky. If you don't mind running Windows (ie thru VMWare) you could go with Open ECry...

ZMG is he trying to imitate Ben L. (forgot his name) who runs one of the CME squawk services? Too funny....
