    20 reasons why Oil to NEVER hit $135.00 again...dated: May 22, 2008

    Oil to NEVER hit $135.00 again. Ironic to see this as we sit at $138.50; anyone care to make this assertion from a bullish perspective now? On a serious note, picking tops in CL is pure gambling because you have zero control over where an overleveraged short account will blow out. I'm not...

    End NASA, silly Mars stuff and all US space programs = Solves US Economy problems

    They're going to come take your shit and mine sooner or later because the entitlement gravy train won't last into perpetuity. Of course by then, the "shit" they're going to get will be worth human excrement anyway unless its gold bars or foreign currency. Point taken though, I'll foot the...

    End NASA, silly Mars stuff and all US space programs = Solves US Economy problems

    NASA?!? I'd rather watch space exploration programs on the Discovery channel vs. our kids getting blown up in Iraq. If you want to do something productive, get rid of entitlement programs and social welfare.

    Can anyone explain this broker response?

    Actually the best play here is to catch him in his own lie. Since this is "full service" demand a list of all the components in the basket he was creating, the share amounts, and execution prices.

    Which Area(s) of Market Will Fall First, The Most, and How to Play Them?

    I'm being facetious and actually agree with you, but know better than to call a top. There will be plenty of chances to sell the crap out of this market after it breaks; if you're smart enough to catch the first 20 handles, hats off to you.

    Can anyone explain this broker response?

    Amazing in this day and age that there are still old-school brokers that can charge $100+ a trade and feed this crap to wealthy retirees or whatever. Having worked retail brokerage, I doubt this guy defrauded you over $500 on a SPY order (it's almost impossible unless this was some hack...

    options on es mini futures, expirate date and time

    Technically they trade 24 hours, but the markets are horrendous outside of RTH, you're much better off trading ES to adjust deltas. And yes, last trade is Fri @ 3:15pm Chicago time, any in the money positions are auto-exercised into ES.

    Is there a faster way to get economic reports than CNBC or Bloomberg Channels

    War with Iran next week?!?

    True dat. I should have said $140, oil could easily get squeezed to $130 on its own accord.

    War with Iran next week?!?

    If there was any merit to this BS, oil would be trading through $130 right now and the spoos would be limit down. Unlike Gulf War I, when the shit starts flying over Iran, you don't want to be caught long.

    Question about health insurance for full time trader

    If you and your wife have been continuously covered by medical insurance for the last 12 months, you can not be turned down or given exclusions for pre-existing conditions (HIPAA statutes). Make absolutely sure your transfer from company plan to whatever you elect (cobra or individual plan)...

    Are margin requirements going to be raised for trading Crude Futures?

    I'm sure the commercials are quaking in their boots, now the Exxon traders might only be able to buy 9500 CL's at the market instead of 10k next time there's a "pipeline incident" My guess is ultra short-term this might just force out a few small specs who were net short and the most likely...

    What happen at the futures ????????????????

    I guess UBS isn't part of the Chicago "club" or was in arrears on their protection payments. No doubt if this was MFG or Goldman it would have been a Globex system glitch and busted in 10 minutes.

    Market maker plays games.

    Your partners order was reflected in the NSX/CSE quote right up until 16:00 whereupon it expired, the 200 share print of $18.02 was a Nasdaq trade executed after the close. NSX is not held to trades executed by other market centers after 16:00, nor will they display your order after 16:00 unless...
