    GOOG's trading range.

    Im getting deja vu all over again. In the past week: One advisor from Prudential says to go 100% into equities. Today, a long time bear throws in the towel and says its time to go all into stocks. Abby Cohen on tv doing GS's pr spin. Chatter on message boards about SP at 1400 soon...

    Anyone going to this seminar?

    ElectricSavant is defending the other vendors because he aspires to become one himself. You cant tell me that entire Cash and Carry thread isnt your way of throwing it out there to see what sticks.

    anybody listening to the GMAC call?

    Probably an Inspector Cluseau type trick. Speak in gibberish so that the analysts are too confused and embarassed to ask any tough questions.

    Possible Etrade Fraud

    Exactly Winter. What you mention in the last paragraph is the part that is extremely troubling. In fact, I had read about this type of fraud recently, but until I saw this many cases on EliteTrader about E-Trade, I had never understood what an epidemic this could become. Many people...

    Possible Etrade Fraud

    Let me see if I understand this situation a bit better. Many of the individuals who have been the victims of fraud at E-Trade were most likely defrauded via ACH transfers. Is it safe to assume that the perpitrators carried out this act by having access to the victim's checking account...

    Unemployment rate is down -unbelievable!!

    who is bidding up the futures?

    Just a theory here... The index futures trapped a whole heck of alot of shorts not only overnight but during regular market hours. Then even during the RTH, market lows were put in right away and everything closed on the highs. Now you have first of quarter Employment Report coming up...

    Tough morning in YM
