5 point spike? Is that a lot these days? Wake me up when it is 30-50 points.

This probably has to do with the precautionary price limits set on your order defaults. They are set to 3% by default. You should be able to just say ok to the warning message and the order will enter as normal. If that does not do the trick I'm not sure then, but I've had a similar experience...

I have no party affiliation but would better describe myself as a Libertarian than a Democrat. I take issue with both Democrats and Republicans, depending on the issue. I do find it funny though that the neocon/evangelical wing of the Republican party is so weak now that they couldn't stop...

Lifelock is a waste of money in my opinion. You can add 3 month identity theft alerts to all three credit bureaus in a few minutes for free. This is all they do for you really. Yeah, you get 1m in insurance but good luck on ever seeing that. How much do you wager they have paid out in claims so...

Why don't you just post this in Politics/Religion and save the mods some time? This obviously has nothing to do with economics but you probably didn't know that considering some of your remarks. I voted for Ron Paul too so don't assume too much about my politics if you were wondering...

Nice setup. I like the clean layout... no wires showing or clutter. Nice combo with the PS3 too.

If you want free, I like MarketWatch. They have pretty timely coverage of economic releases and give you a pretty good idea of what is going on for the day's session. If you are looking for a premium service, I am giving Dow Jones Newswires - http://www.dowjonesnews.com a try right now and...

Shows you the value of the headlines doesn't it? Zero.

Yes, exactly. The S&P 500 is still down almost 14% since the October 2007 high. This market has a long way to go to reestablish it's footing. I wouldn't fight it too much though... I'd rather change my bias than try and fade the short term trend (up for now). Good luck.

If you stare at the bark on the trees long enough the forest will start to appear anyway you want it to.

Sounds like a Russ Whitney seminar. Was your friend Casey Serin? :D

I liked the one where they linked the height of women's skirts with the cycle of the the stock market. The shorter the skirt the frothier the market and vice versa I think it went. I'm not sure that I put much credence in it but it sure is more pleasant to ponder than late night infomercials.

Almost anything is possible. Is it likely? No. Normally whatever service or information they are selling is worth no more than the price you are paying, and often times not even that. As long as you are aware of that and are realistic about what you are getting into then go ahead. If you are...

Yes, Ron Paul, but Americans were too dumb to give him a chance. This is what we are left with unfortunately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBympCQcyzY

I'm assuming that auto-login programs like IB Controller will no longer work after you get this device. Is that accurate? Also, is there any other problems associated with this device and automated trading programs working with TWS?

No, I haven't. I've also wondered how much actual trading is done through a Bloomberg. At 1500/mo it is an awfully expensive news, research and messaging tool... Just out of curiosity, how much does DJ news run a month? I've thought about supplementing Reuters news for some time.

I think he was serious...

My point is that uncontrolled spending (both foreign and domestic) are mainly to blame for the dollar's drop. GWB had a majority in Congress and that did not curtail spending, quite the contrary. Dennis Hastert was one of the biggest pork barrel politicians of our time. At least Clinton showed...

Boy Lance and Jim keep raising the bar on their level of stupidity. Not only are they bag holders in SNDK but they get a client for another 25,000 shares after it has gone down over 20 points. Are these guys one trick ponies or what??? You guys ever hear of a bear market before? Guess not. Nice...

If you want really good news wire get a Bloomberg but be prepared to pay $$$. I have free real-time Reuters which is so-so. They have an upgrade premium news package that I think is pretty decent. Runs about $65/mo. Much cheaper than a bloomie. Previous poster is probably right about Dow...
