Personally, I'm locally waiting for Cablevision (here in NY) to enter the wireless markets. I think it's absurd that VZ and T require these 2 years plans, and charge a mandatory $ 30 for Internet access. These dogs will die a slow death, IMO. No one wants contracts or mandatory packages to...

We're in a bear correction here guys. Once again, irrational exuberance pushed the market to heights that it truly couldn't sustain, on incredibly low volume. Let's see - massive debt, high unemployment, eroding European markets, we've broken below the 200-day moving average on all equity...

Timber !!!!!!!! S&P going below 200-day MA. We are in for some steep declines ahead. Short all the way now !

This is Yahoo's ETF center; I have found them to be the most complete: http://finance.yahoo.com/etf/browser/mkt

This guy should be calling The Preakness.....

One thing no one has mentioned -- who in their right mind is going to want to be long going into this weekend ? Nuff said........

NYSE Bullish % Index just went bearish tonight.......get ready for the slide: http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.pnf?c=$BPNYA,P

Does anyone know of a way to suppress the auto-population of the Limit Price in a Rapid Order Entry stock screen in IB, when entering a Limit Order ? I find the auto-population of the Limit Price to be a totally annoying "feature", that can require extra keystrokes, depending on where your...

It's amazing how ignorant some have become. What's the saying, "Those who are ignorant of history, are doomed to repeat it."....or something to that effect.

Yup, scary stuff: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100429/ap_on_bi_ge/debt_crisis

This is all really pathetic, IMO. Keep re-inflating the bubble, and kicking the can down the road, postponing the inevitable. The only real way to fix any of these problems, is to let these countries and companies crash and burn. Will this create hardships - you betcha. It will cause massive...

I thought the same exact thing. We're watching a semi-blood bath in the market (particularly in the last 1/2 hour), and I've got Bloom berg TV on, watch the GS brass scrambling all over the place, and GS ends up on the day ? WTF ?

I am bearish as well, as I think we are way, way oversold, but this market keeps climbing. One thing for sure, the more we climb up during this bull run, just means that the harder and faster we will fall, when things go the other way. The post credit-crisis bubble has formed, and there is...

In most states, sellers like cash, because the mortgage process (and the associated waiting period for approval) can be bypassed. In NY, if you go into contract with a buyer who applies for a mortgage, your home effectively comes off of the "available" list for a period of time until the...

Agreed. Took a heavy short position in them today at 160. I will scale out at 150, 140, 130, and finally at 120. Safety stop at 172+.

I'm pretty sure that you can only execute it once, and not 2 consecutive years (this happened to me a bunch of years ago, for my non-trading related business. However, I'm unsure if things "reset" again. For example, if year 1 you underpay but are within your 110 %, you receive your grace...

I see it as a CYA hedge by Goldman, after they realized that mortgage securities were going to be hit hard. It wasn't about gains for them; it was about minimizing losses.

You are correct in the 110 % rule, but that rule only lasts for 1 year, as I understand it. The 2nd year you will get hit hard by penalties. Effectively, the IRS allows you that one year grace period, for earning a significantly different amount the 2nd year from the 1st year. You should be...

Don't waste your time hiring an "expensive" CPA - he will charge you based on your superlative earnings. Instead, use a free tax estimator: http://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/ and pay your estimated taxes 4 times per year, on both the federal and state (if applicable) levels (can...
