What does he care? He's doing what he enjoys - he gets paid to inflate his ego by spewing BS on television and doesn't have to risk his own cash. Besides, I read in some interview he only sleeps 2-3 hours a night so doubtful he has much time to reflect on his followers' performance. I don't...

Go play golf - it's going to be 90 this weekend here in NY so the PM's will be long gone before the close; don't forget the Open in Mamaroneck.

QM's and side-by-side cash settled big cars (symbol WS) are supposed to start trading tonight - anyone know if it's on schedule? I see the QMN's trading although I can't tell if it's on Clearpoo or Globex.

I need some assistance in figuring out when we can declare the world is not coming to an end today so I can get long some eminis! Anyone know what time zone the apocalypse will occur in? Also need to know if God is currently on standard time or daylight savings time.

It's psychobabble like this that inflates the ego of traders, 90% of whom grossly underperform the buy & hold "sheep" who are always getting "f*cked" by the market. Look at the account runs at a major discount broker and you'll see who's really getting "f*cked."

If you're not paying for college then go for the 6 year degree. Just remember, it's much easier to leave school than to go back later - the real world sucks, and there are a world of interesting careers out there besides flipping paper.

How about trailing your stops on the eCBOT markets? Plenty liquid during a parabolic frenzy like the last few days, and you avoid the not held pit chicanery.

I'm sure it's got more to do with proximity to a cell tower than anything else; I can recall making cell phone calls out of homes in Ridgewood just fine. Welcome to Bergen County

Just a few general questions on how brokers manage margin requirements when T-Bills are involved. Assume your brokerage lets you apply 100% of face value to margin requirements (no haircut). You open an account at XYZ Futures brokerage by depositing $10k in T-bills; you have no cash balance...

Is anyone aware of a thread or site that discusses auto-execution policies of old-school/legacy brokers (that have their own internal order routing, usually to market makers/regionals in exchange for payment for order flow) i.e. etrade, brown, etc? I know things have changed a good deal from...

Say you have an account at a brokerage that doesn't have OCO (one cancels other) order functionality. You own 1000 shares of XYZ @ 10, and want to have a stop order @ 9 and limit order to sell @ 11 open concurrently. Brokerage won't let you tag the limit sell order as a long sale because the...

Bump - anyone know if IB will let you hold municipal bonds in an account? I have no need to buy/sell them.

Anyone know which brokers provide a decent automatic execution on stop orders (500-1000 shares at "triggered" market) and/or route stops into an ECN which immediately takes stock or hits bids when the order becomes eligible? Quite a few apparently (Eturd, etc...) still route to a market maker...

Anyone know if IB allows account transfers (from another broker) that have a combined municipal bond and stock portfolio? I have no need to trade the munis (just collect interest obviously), but occasionally trade stocks on margin against the value of the munis at my current broker.

Just imagine, if you refine the hot dog and tide analysis a little bit, you might be able to get this close to 100%.

Yup - I don't think the Beardstown Ladies were rushing to buy 30-years yielding 5 3/8 this morning.

I've traded opening range breaks and volatility attenuation on treasuries for many years, less so now due to other commitments. Generally when you get a symmetrical whipsaw that returns to the open for the second time, I'm done for the day, happy to pocket a little something on either side...

Armada of Chinese dump trucks spotted backing up to LaSalle Street around 9:15et.

Daytime e-beans coming soon http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-0601250268jan25,1,2230208.story?track=rss&ctrack=1&cset=true

When it starts throwing fits (i.e. 1/23 outside reversal, etc...) you're getting close but picking the peak is an act of futility. Just know where the trend system guys put their stops, figure 3-4 atr's under the contract high and try to front run them. The floor is going to have a field day...
