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...

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.

Nice find.

Were you born yesterday?

u gotta be kidding me. ProfLogic strikes again? What a frigging parasite.

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

FWIW, I found a recent CME Clearing Member Firms list with the Class A Members dated 4/4/05. A few other firms that were omitted in the original list: Jump Trading, LLC Fortis Clearing Chicago, LLC Advantage Futures, LLC Tradelink, LLC Gelber Group, LLC Millenium Partners, LP Medallion...

Correct me if I am wrong, but werent you doing pretty well on your own with your homemade system? I dont know much about PRogers, but he hangs out in the ET chat room alot of days chatting with ole Nitro and the gang.

I heard that if you lie on the application, men in black coats show up at your door.

Why dont you get lost once and for all. I thought you already made your "Grand exit". We got enough pompous windbags around here already.

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...

cash settlement. You arent assigned the index or anything such as that.

None of the economic numbers are legit. PPI, CPI, Employment, etc, etc. I just figured we all accepted this as reality at this point.

He probably supports his contrarian habit off the backs off the few jokers left willing to pay $200 commissions.

Pretty much all of them these days... Back to the original question. Most CTA's deleverage themselves significantly. You would want to look at the CTA's MER Ratio to get a feel for their leveraging. I suppose if you invested with a manager trading commodities unhedged and got stuck in some...

Well we are closing in on 600 days without a -2% down day. Thats even more ridiculous.

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...

you go girl.
