I predict that tomorrow, between 9:35 and 9:38 AM Eastern Time, at least one stock will move up at least 0.03. Possibly more.

You have to wonder why somebody would bother announcing their exit from a web site forum.

Ptt asks the same question I was wondering... not that I think Surfer is "wrong" to take this position, but isn't this based on the opposite of his usual strategy (anticipating a bottom in this case, instead of waiting for breakout momentum)? Just hoping to clarify the thinking on this.

Right, the Apple Cinema Display has a propriety connector (ADC) which is different from VGA or DVI (which are to be found on most PC video cards). You can buy an ADC to VGA adapter for it, but I think it's about $100.

I'll admit it... when the spike started, I tried to go long, and made a mistake I've never made before -- entered a short order when I meant to go long. By the time I got out of it, literally just seconds later, I had lost two and a half points (ES), which was the difference between an up day...

I'm a new IB user and have had few reasons to complain so far, but it was alarming this morning to see the difference between the TWS quotes and what was going on in eSignal.

I almost bought a Cinema Display, but decided instead for a pair of 17" LCDs, and I don't regret my decision. I actually have MORE usable screen space (2560x1024) and spent only about 35% of the price of the Cinema Display.

WSJ has the most pages, which is always good.

Glad to hear this is unusual. I'm brand new to IB and I've been booted off of TWS twice already, once immediately after putting on an ES position, which then moved against me while I was disconnected.

Dang, I'm TOO straight. Only 20% gay. I'm gonna have to tell my girlfriend I'm rugged and manly, so she'll stop teasing me.

I incorrectly stuffed the ballot box by voting "Yes" 8 times and "No" 14 times, and I meant to do the reverse. Please adjust vote totals accordingly, thx.

Hey, cool.... Oregonians on ET! I'm in Portland.

I have yet to hear an idea of a way to avoid paying taxes that was anything other than crackpot, hair-brained nonsense. You'll notice that the smartest and most money-savvy guys don't try to get away with this stuff. The IRS is one of the last entities you want to mess with. One of the guys...

Agreed!

Haven't you heard "the markets hate uncertainty?" People are relieved the hear that Bush/Powell's chest-thumping posturing recently might be based on some kind of actual proof.... reduction of uncertainty, in other words, with regard to whether the UN and world community will understand and...

Not sure what Australian law is like, but here in the US, if someone breaks into your home, you can use all kinds of force in self-defense, and nobody will call it "excessive."

A bankrupt company's stock might recover, but everyone seems to believe that UAL will eventually be worth zero. Not an investment... up to you whether it's a day trade opportunity.

I bought 3 shares of UAL for $120 each -- should I sell? I could use the $2.75.

To me, it's very simple. If you're not profiting consistently, there's no reason you should be trying to make a living from your trading. That doesn't necessarily mean you should STOP, just that maybe you should find another source of income while you try to get better at your trading. If...
