Florida OJ growers are starting a massive ad campaign in an attempt to boost prices. I understand some coffee growers have been throwing in the towel as of several months ago. Not much insight but those could be events which help the products bottom. They are both pretty cheap imo, but...

Are 5 daytraders on ISLD going to provide institutional liquidity? That's the Big Board's edge.

It seems to me if you don't own already in this market (me), it really pays not to buy in now. Chasing this hot stuff only makes you vulnerable when they inevitably turn off the money tap, and the first thing to suffer will be housing. Rental market, esp high-end stuff is really soft right now...

Really I can't imagine we're getting value here. The risk for these brokers pales in comparison to futures trades, yet as a % of underlying merchandise moved equity traders pay a huge amount in commission. As annoyed as I get at the commish game and paying so much I'm quite happy to be on the...

Not to sound too liberal, but you haven't seen anything yet with regard to indirect costs. Environmental Economics isn't really recognized by the status quo, because it's too damn scary for the establishment when these folks crunch numbers. What kind of dollar values do you think you could...

NV sure comes across as an arrogant fellow. I can almost feel his nose turn up at my lack of an ivy league education as I look at a picture of him. No doubt at all that he has skills however. WB sure is a lot easier to like. Especially for the "common" man. Perhaps that's a large...

Drove through some northern New Hampshire towns last year looking at real estate. I thought the bargains were exceptional, especially in some of the mill-based towns that were hit hard by lumber prices. Some of these places have a lot of potential and are so close to wonderful recreational...

You guys are joking, right? Alligator alley is a hell of a lot more dangerous for the snakes, gators, and panthers than the people. You could camp out for your entire life in the everglades and never see a native panther. They are all dead except for a questionable population of something...

This is what I meant by a flat rate for a nasdaq guy: http://www.rmltrading.com/proprietary/index.html Not endorsing RML, but it's a good model for someone who does naz and usually adds liquidity. You end up trading for very little in commish. Just depends on your style. Member firms...

He said .6 cents/share nitro. Competitive enough but it depends on your style. I'm really amazed that they offered you 18:1 overnight. Anyone else care to comment on that kind of overnight leverage as it relates to other prop deals out there?

Ditto on Spybot. Use it regularly, and its good insurance.

12 x 10 on a handful of the newer Dell 19" lcd's. You can sit way back and give your focal length muscles a break. Kinda like kegal exercises for your eyes.

Not quite sure what going rates are. You can prolly do better on the base if you do a lot of Nasdaq, but if you do size then just go with a flat rate plus or minus fees. Depends on your style. Are you sure they offered that much overnight leverage? Seems quite high, and cuts into their BD...

I knew I should've been paid to scan my own groceries. Damn!

Great post. Should start a new thread on this one and get some input on what constitutes a meaningful catalyst, or ways to spot one. I think this applies to gold right now (not too high yet), and coffee too (not too low yet, but close).

For thousands of years young women have relied upon a wide variety of means to validate their apparent "virginity" to the current suitor of note. Perhaps she will be able to harnass the power of some of these means to replicate her flower and offer it to as many as 100 or more high-priced...

Take a lesson from the "least conquered" people in the world: Mongolians. Own physical gold in small denominations, own no land, own a vehicle (can be a horse or a car), own a moveable house (ger or yurt). You cannot be confiscated by an invading army under such cirucumstances and the tyranny...

I love my new HP zd7000 so far. Awesome 17" screen, although too wide for my old laptop bag. The 3 Ghz processor does seem to generate heat tho, and the 2 fans make a bit more noise than I'm used to in a laptop. Battery life is poor, probably about 90 mins. For the $1529 I paid delivered...

Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here:)

Isn't the sole purpose of "superpower" standing to allow you to lay claim to that which strengthens your world-standing? I assume we just take it. Of course, being on-site helps as possession is 9/10ths of the law. Interesting that the coming commodity competition is so rapidly being...
