Ok, I don't know about vse or peix, but some companies branching out into ethanol make more on management fees (for the investors) and trading then they do selling ethanol. Also farmer coops in the business can break even year in and year out, as long as they have a market for their corn at a...

All the above posts have a grain of truth to them. Fact is, tax credits to refiners and mandates to use ethanol for blending will keep demand in tact for a few more years. Corn is on a bull run. There is no wiggle room in stockpiles for the next year, every kernal is spoken for and with...

They are cleaning it up for a go. They have blown their options business and their etf business. Dropped the ball on both after pioneering the respective businesses. Can't see much left to pick over for a suitor.

If you have never seen the es jumping around by 1 or 2 handles, you are in for a real treat next time it happens.....

I remember making money all day in 94 on mexican stocks after the meltdown at the .50 spread, best day was +$10,000. Then came .25's then .125, now .001..... You are right....

I would like to see how many of you were trading when the last circuit breakers were hit and how many think we will see it in 07? It has been quiet and orderly the last few years. Why is that? No terrorist attacks? No major currency meltdowns, no major economic surprises or just orderly...

It's just about time to get the wife and kids and retreat to the y2k bunker. Already fired up the generator, sold all my equities and invested in gold and star wars action figures. Hope you all have a wonderfull New Year as civilization comes to a complete stop at the stroke of midnight.....:p...

I agree it is usually pretty tight, especailly if you are fading a pullback at a good entry when volume starts picking up. If the market is churning early afternoon style, it is a little harder to get hit on a market at the b/a, that is if you are not trading size. If you are doing any size it...

However it is pretty safe to fade the first move for a quick scalp if you are watching the dom and the cash as the ym will swing much farther and longer then the cash usually.

When news comes out it is a given they are going to run it pretty far in both directions before it moves out of that range. If you trade on the right side of the news and don't mind the whipsaw, you are fine. Prefer not to trade the news as it not a high enough probability trade and risk to...

I personlly love the ym. Much easier to trade for a number of reasons. YM is made up of 30 price weighted stocks. Some days you can find one or two that is really wagging the dow. If they are holding up or moving higher (or lower) while the dow is churning around you can pretty safely bet in...

I am sure your post will bring a flood of offers, with health insurance. Afer all, you made them millions. Now go risk your own ass and make yourself some millions. You are not entitled to cradle to grave security just for being born in the US.....

Gerald Ford, James Brown, Sadamm.... God bless the two of them.

Anyone on the floor on in a trading room is partying right now... Could be a fat finger or someone taking advantage of everyone elses lack of judgement.....

The average savings rate is not -1%. Government numbers do not count the entire black market economy which is growing faster then the legit economy. Illegal and oftentimes legal profits are not reported as imcome or savings, jobs etc in govt reports. Some is laundered, but most is spent by...

Everthing closes, fed minutes on wed instead of tues. Go trade rubber in japan and china or tiger shrimp in vietnam..... God Bless America.....

Agreed. I know lots of people in real estate, business, trading etc. Some go it alone, some take on others. They can all make a lot of money up to a point... That's when you tap the opm, make them some and youself alot more.

Even then it is about who you know... When I initially called my contact at the "prop firm", the first question was "how did you get my number. Five minutes after I dropped the name I had a plane ticket to NY and an interview.... Two days late a job offer...
