    Best Thing for U.S. Economy: Raise Taxes

    Raising taxes on the wealthiest people and companies only forces them to move their companies and/or their money elsewhere. When they move their companies/money elsewhere people lose jobs. Which creates another side effect that overall tax collection actually goes down, not up.

    Far month order entry at CBOT

    Kinda risky IMO taking a position that far out. My guess is you are going up against bigger players who can push the price against you pretty easy. Look at the months that have decent volume and stick to those.

    Trading with Academics

    I have heard a lot of talk here about GPA. A good GPA is nice but when you see a banker for a loan he does not care a bit what your GPA was. The only thing he cares about is your credit score. Unfortunately they don't teach that in school. And unfortunately when a lot of students get out of...

    E-Cbot Corn???

    I quit trying to figure that one out. It can lead to a lot of aggrivation. A lot of times if beans, wheat or corn moves up the others follow. In general everything is moving higher across the board be it due to weaker dollar, inflation or whatever. We are entering a very volitile part of the...

    How can I become better in economics?

    They are in business to make a profit. Besides, their shareholders like it when the make a profit. Why are you in trading? Make sure to keep your profits down, that way people won't get mad at you.

    E-Cbot Corn???

    Corn is pretty tough stuff. It is a member of the grass family. Newer hybrids are somewhat drought resistant. As far as rain goes it is either too much or not enough. Rarely does it come in just the right amounts. While it is good to keep abreast of the news and weather, in the long run...

    E-Cbot Corn???

    This time of year weather if probably one of the biggest factors. Another big factor is going to be projected yields and the size of the carry-over. The new crop is off to a fairly good start but demand remains high.

    $1,000 and emini index futures

    Excellent advice. I started over a year ago with a live account. A friend of mine who is a professional trader said unless I had a definite system that I would just be giving my money away. Four months and $2500 later I have to say I agree with him. Save yourself the needless loss and take...

    FYI: Mpls wheat is available electronically, just not thru IB. Open E Cry offers it along with KCBOT wheat. Mpls wheat is thin volume tho.

    Gas prices have nation fuming

    There is plenty of oil. We need more refineries but everyone says: "not in my backyard." (I know, let's take our number one food source and make ethanol. Ya, that makes sense.) Increasing the price at the pump thru taxes only hurts the lower and middle class. Then congressmen can...

    "IB NOT a TRUE real time data source!"

    For following price, volume and reading order flow off the book trader IB's charts are fine. A tick here or there does not matter and you can't beat the price for data.
