He has some interesting comments about iBeaker: Victor Niederhoffer writes: To say nothing of their [IBKR] ability to take the other side of trades when their customers are stopped out for margin. According to one list member, they proudly acknowledge this in their conference calls. And one...

in small cap stocks, theres no supply available in the first thirty minutes.

the Kolos , Wesabe, and HelloParking ones are interesting. kolos is actually kind of funny. the most depressing ones are when somebody executes on an idea and the world says "that's nice but we don't really need that."

Most startups fail. Fascinating site. http://autopsy.io/

hey don't bash the entire ET business model

like this guy?

from the article linked above: There is a dominant social network for investing, but it’s just for the professionals. The joke in finance is that the Bloomberg terminal is the most expensive social network in the world at $2,500 a month. There’s truth to the joke. It’s been a winner-takes-all...

http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/08/why-has-social-failed-in-fintech/#.kmaxz5 somebody else is negative on "sofi" I don't mind following a few people on twitter but mostly not interested in stock tips. Even CNBC seems to have fewer fund managers on to give stock tips. interested in why Baron...

if you walk into a casino you want to play the game with the best odds. not slots or baccarat. trading is the same way. equities have the best expectancy. not futures, shorting, forex, or options. it might not matter in the short run but it definitely will in the long run.

is that true? on ET at least the stock traders are considered amateurs. the futures traders are the professionals. "I trade oil futures according to my algorithmic system" sounds more sophisticated than "I think Chipotle burritos taste really good, it's got a bright future."

I'm only talking about the small cap (~100000 shares daily) stocks I trade. If the stock reports bad news, the open is actually the best place to sell - the open is going to be the best price. But if it's a normal day and you want to buy/sell 5000 shares you are going to be chasing the bid/offer...

big funds don't trade in the first thirty minutes, long or short. first thirty minutes are for the pikers to get fleeced.

do you use trading view? looks like stockcharts.com dominates tradingview.com https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=tradingview.com%2C%20stockcharts.com&cmpt=q&tz=

spiking.com looks kind of interesting. it's not live so hard to say. btw the awards are at benzingafintechawards.com lots of big names there - relatively speaking - but i don't think the award candidates themselves were creme of the crop - top companies are probably well funded already and...

i went through the 'fintech' startups that showed up for the benzinga fintech conference. the ideas can be rougly categorized as 1- better charting - charting but with more gizmos - pineapple pizza. 2 - social stock tips/tip ranking/crowdsourced rankings/estimates - stock tips but social...

so if marketsurfer is niederhoffer jr how many times has he blown up ?

Vinik is taking over Tampa.

Hussman never gets bad press and only gets good press, so this is really a change of tone. He had the good fortune to open up his bear fund at the height of the 2000 bubble (although I think somebody said he had another fund before that) and then was lucky enough to live through another crash...
