Thanks Don.

Considering the rosy picture you normally paint Don, Bright must really be hurting for you to say this. Sorry to hear Don. Hope you guys get back on track soon. All the best!

The spread on a 10 lot of GC will cost you $300. Doesn't seem like such a great deal to me.

The man said similar rates as IB, just keeping it real. :)

>300K shrs per month is .002 at IB. You have a strange definition of "similar" Don. Of course you could just clink on the link and see for yourself. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/commission.php

I don't understand how you guys stay in business with rates this low. :p

Flagstaff Arizona has a ski resort, I would hope they are getting snow. Do you always evaluate complex scientific problems by stepping out your front door and seeing what the weather is like? Hmmm... you aren't originally from Punxsutawney are you?

I'm guessing you don't know what "sample size" means. Hint: it isn't the size of shampoo you buy for travelling.

I never said they would go up. I said buy things you think will go up. If they go up, you get a big fat bonus. If you are wrong you don't. If you are REALLY wrong, the taxpayer eats your mistake. You really aren't this dumb are you?

Quit acting like a 22 year old prop trader on a hot streak who thinks he's got it all figured out and think for a change. Why WOULDN'T they go to the taxpayer? They did for FNM, FRE, and AIG which were all deemed too big to fail? As long as the losses are big enough the taxpayer eats them...

So the fundamental question: Is Goldman making obscene profits off the US taxpayer? Let's ignore the the tarp funds, the zero interest loans, the ability to use toxic garbage as collateral at the discount window, the AIG bailout that allowed GS to get paid by AIG in full. Ignore all of this...

Borrow at zero, buy anything that yields more or you think is going up. Losses go to the taxpayer. What's so hard to understand?

And you seem to willfully ignore the lobbying GS did to keep AIG from declaring bankruptcy which would have vaporized GS's balance sheet when they couldn't collect the billions AIG owed them. Which, by the way, they did collect, compliments of the US taxpayer. GS has and still is making huge...

So you're on here acting like a BSD calling out legit traders and going to all this trouble to prove that you're for real ...... and these are your numbers? :eek: OK, I'll go against the crowd and accept your numbers as real. Good job peewee. You do realize anyone who was 100% long SPY...

Why wouldn't you use the Esignal API? :confused:

Good luck fighting with your insurance company if you get truly sick. I'm sure they'll pay.... eventually, assuming you crossed all your t's and dotted all your i's on your original application. And then good luck with your new premiums that reflect your new risk level to your private insurance...

Might be a contractual agreement with Esignal. Esignal charges extra for access to their API.

Seriously, the guy's name is "Beau Diamond"?? If a guy by that name pitching an investment scheme doesn't make you immediately run away you weren't going to keep your money anyway.

Very well said. OPGs are like picking up nickels in front of bulldozers. When things go wrong they go very very wrong. The last few weeks have been some of the best OPG trading of the year. IMO it is not coincidence that Don decided to post some stats right now. Overall this is been a lousy...

This is all true. But going in thinking you're going to be the guy that puts it all together quickly is even more ridiculous. As with any business you must be prepared for things not going as well as planned. For the record, it took me about a year of trading away from my old job before I...
