Any opinions regarding the soymeal Q/U spread...it's trading at a huge inverse. Lots of fundamental reasons I can think of but seems the 26$ inversion is mind boggling....

Back on the CBOT Ag floor, they used to shout out bids/offers before the bell. No trades, just indicating where brokers with paper would open the market. Harkens back to that I believe.

cupboard calls? bollinger bandaid?

Buy a seat on the Multi Commodity Exchange of india and and hold a core position in turmeric futures.

Dick in a box.

This is actually a great macroeconomic question, maybe not framed well but so relevant... ...where do the "idiots" fit in the picture? Sure there is limited opportunity in management, politics, as mentioned above...but where do the MASSES of idiots go? We've (they've?) priced themselves...

But with an MBA from UCLA, contacts, business experience, a closet full of stripey shirts, he's probably above average intelligence...the best he can do is delivering pizzas? Seems this guy just doesn't want to get a "real job."

I recently moved out of New York City and need a car. I'd get something new in the smaller or compact class, Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, etc. NONE of the dealers i've visited are willing to negotiate on price. They all have a "best price first" policy. The lots are full - no customers, and...

Until you live in a 1br manhattan apartment, its hard to actually see the appeal of that trailer posted above. (I do!!) I left NYC a few months ago (got canned) and was fortunate enough to find a job in the upper midwest. 15% nominal pay cut (so like a 20-30% raise in real terms). Best of...

Why not devote some proceeds of your trading to the issues you're concerned with? Specialization.

Read "Anthem." Very simple, basic, interesting, communicates her philosophy without page after page of preachy rhetoric. Would consider most traders to be somewhat objective/libertarian (small L).

M60 bus to LGA from Harlem 125th is $2.00. Fastest, most reliable, easiest ride I've ever had.

Can someone in very simple terms explain a short sale on real estate?

Interesting on the case of paying employees in US gold/silver coinage at face value. Guessing the litigation was costly. I'd gladly take 20$/hr paid in US double eagles...

A bit off topic here, but if a business barters a good for a service, etc, is there any sort of taxation or reporting required? There's a point when the inefficiency of bartering (tax savings, liquidity) is less than the price of uncertainty in a currency's value or carrying that currency...

I would advise against doing anything sensitive, especially accessing my brokerage account on an internet cafe computer - they're full of keyloggers, programs that track activity, especially in a foreign country could be dangerous. On a side note, has anyone tried TWS on one of these new...

Bravo. I'd like to thank Molson Canada for their fine beverages, imbibed a few minutes ago, without which, this thread would be thoroughly lame. cheers

What is IB's margin requirement for intramarket agricultural futures spreads, ie March/May corn, etc...? Pardon the question if it's been posted before, can't seem to find it after searching/browsing the forums...also IB's site doesn't seem to have any clear info...cheers

Many OTC transactions were also facilitated by lines of credit with the same financial institutions now receiving charity money...

I am a huge fan of Investor R/T by Linnsoft www.linnsoft.com Not the easiest to use, but once you have it going, its far more powerful than most packages I've used. At ~40$/mo you'll have everything you need. More advanced versions with additional charting formats, backtesting, etc are...
