Not really. He is the king of the 1 word reply. Computerized trading like this, done properly, takes substantially different resources than most here possess. As good as off-the-shelf products are becoming, this is no job for Tradestation and a new P4 single-processor package. There are...

There is a guy on these boards that does this on a grand scale. His vehicle is options. His machinery is a massive distributed system, a Beowulf. With regard to commish, when you do this type of trading the volume generated gives one significant negotiating power with regard to costs...

You are implying that IB charges ECN fees? If so, please do some homework.

Find a stock that's doing what you want it to, ie. going up (or down). Buy that stock (or short it). When it stops doing what you want it to do, get out. A few incremental sessions of profit taking might help, or might just reduce your longer term profits. Secret of getting rich in a nutshell.

This 425 area on gold has a lot of congestion. Just needs to consolidate imo.

Costco 6 month return on systems I think. That Dell looks like the old style 20", you can get the newer ones for that price or quite a lot cheaper on sale direct.

I for one am glad for this cerebral discourse on the current state of discord. It distracts me from the fact that we are one humanity floating on a rock in a vaccuum with nowhere to go.

Just like any indicator, it isn't precise. And you should be skeptical. But imo it works.

Maybe you're right about the top here. Doug Kass thinks so and has posted as much in his trading diary. Everybody has an opinion. This market has been a short killer. I'd be pretty careful, and use proper money management. If you "bet the farm" you won't have the opportunity to become an...

How about the US indexes just keep climbing with all that liquidity out there? Course the money won't buy much as even a loser like Saddam slept on a mattress of $100's. A world awash in paper.

I do believe there are many 6 to 8 baggers every month on near money options just prior to expiry. Certainly I know of at least 2 trades where praetorian has grabbed 600+% in a couple days doing this. Still that was a nice trade James Stock. Not sure I'd start a new thread over it tho. You...

Makes more sense to hire a 20 yr old steeped in the markets since an early age than most of these MBA or Ivy League types who have less practical experience. Unless of course you are hiring them to bring in revenue through networking and don't really need performance once the funds are parked...

The religion forced on others, or used against others for gain or justification of violence. That is the most evil.

Actually the Mexico bailout probably contributed hugely to the bubble in Asia. Governments cannot directly support markets through open purchases so much as their policies influence the flow of funds from the private sector. Just look at Freddie and Fannie, would they be where they are...

I agree.

Visited Bright's offices during the Expo. Must say the digs were pretty nice. Good orientation for new traders, and the free food didn't suck either (thank's for the free sandwich guys). Although I'm a professional trader, I'm convinced Bright isn't "the place to be." Maybe that's just...

Sadly this lack of accountability is becoming the hallmark of the current Administration. When W passed the buck on the WMD issue by blaming faulty intelligence I was really ashamed of the Presidency. The folks at the top need to do it better than the next guy, and failing that they should...

My impression was that Vito was much more the businessman than the trader. Guess I've been in error on this.

Perhaps its simply a matter of the underlying making a bigger blip on everyone's "radar" these days. Metals are a bit more closely followed by the mainstream every week it seems. Could this simple phenomenon explain the increased participation hence liquidity you are seeing?

there is a promo at dell home running until thursday for 15% off. brings the price of the samsung to $570.
