Correct, and in-addition to what AmbushHillbilly said; I know some "large" business owners/operators that buy annuities because in many states they (annuity) are protected from lawsuits. From what I understand, Ken Lay has 10 Million in annuities that the govt. will never be able to touch...

I would say; they may not be. For example: To say; "Refco's bonds are at 33, and Delphi's (bankrupt) are at 33. Therefore Refco is bankrupt.” IMO, Is an incorrect resolution, or a logical fallacy. I personally do not have the answer, but to get the answer one would need a...

Loved it.

wow. :(

Since when does flipping a coin and trading have anything to do with one-another? on a side note: spin a penny on a table and see if it is 50/50...

Holy Cow, Am I reading that correctly, 1200 Rounds? :) I would love to watch one of you hyper-scalpers trade. Not that I want to do it, I like what I do... But I think it would be a great joy watching Man Vs. Market on such a microscopic scale; might be a new spectator sport i.e. poker (I am...

The Brokerage fee would be one time, up front. How do you think they get people to invest? That 5%+ is then split between a "broker" and his "house." So the broker will tell his clients to invest... You should see some of the fees the brokers get on annuities and Life Insurance.

"The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will be introducing new cancellation fees and, as of June 1, 2005, IB will be charging $1 for each CME cancellation with a credit of $5 for each CME executed trade. Execution credits are applied against cancel or modify fees for the day. Execution credits...

I haven't traded the NYSE (or individual equities) for a while now, and I decided to buy a "company" as a longer term investment. I figured it was only 500 shares and I would just pop in a market order near the open... the wonderful guy on the floor lifts his offer and I end up getting filled...

OT: Speaking of energy I just bought some CNX, Consol Energy. I bought it as an Alternative to Natural Gas. Good Old Coal! Anyway I do own BLDP and PLUG. They have not been good investments for me. Good Luck

My first was Hull. IMO, it is a good place to start. Good Luck

I will be in NYC Wed., Thurs., and Friday. Any day is ok for me, but I can only get together for a bit (I will be entertaining friends from Texas). So you two pick a day and time and I will be able to stop in to say hello and have a drink or two. P.S.> the girl-friend could screw up my...

Set up a time and I will try to make it.

I just put a "mobile" trading system together; I just got a dell 8600 with 1920 X 1200 on a 15.4in screen. Works fine for me (I also connect a second panel to the 8600 at 1600 X 1200). My office workstation runs 1280 X 1024 (4), and I will be changing that to 1600 X 1200 soon.

I did: Karts SR SRF (Spec Racer) FF1600 FC (FF2000) Formula Dodge Barber Pro Series Toyota Atlantic and a couple stints in various sports cars. I do: Autocross, and Driver Education events (street car). Follow F1, ALMS and World Superbike. Sparingly watch others. I...

In my humble opinion, scalping expecting your limit orders to be executed with a .5 loss will not work. Try it for a day with real orders and you will see what I am talking about. But, for all I know your system has awesome entries, and you will be fine. good luck

Oh, Oh, I know what we can call this new ism... Startrekism. *All I ask for is a credit in the back of the history books.

Well, The first outage went before I could set my stops, and of course the market moved against me. I was down approx 1.8k, and then I decided to be a hero and trade my way out of my position, so I added to it. Guess what another frigging outage! I am a little pissed and now I am going to...

boy this is costing me...

Down again
