So far from several small business in the community they are not having any issues with lines of credit. I also talked to someone at Chase and they seem fine, no issues in terms of meltdown etc.. Someone at a Jaguar dealer, business is still good for repairs,parts and auto sales. No...

GE on this stupid shortban killed premiums and call volume.

What are you crazy? we have elections coming soon. :)

#1 Uptick rule for shorts and downtick rule for longs. #2 Max P/E 25 for stock valuation, cap at 25. #3 15 day minimum roundtrip on trades (you buy today you cannot sell for 15 days) #4 european style options. #5 No margin allowed, only cash accounts for individual investors. I...

not a fan of ETFs I like outright ownership of the equities themselves.

Wait till we get the Female version of Bush this november.

Bailout aint been approved yet. So monday will be interesting. Even with a short ban it will not stop the markets closing down. Not if people keep trying to unload positions and no interest in buying. I sure as hell would not want to touch those financials knowing they just stuck an artificial...

Is wearing a Bear Costume in poor taste this halloween?

Yeah but you miss out on the frontrunning.

Those lame ass curbs are gone. Talk about training wheels. No what I am talking about is the NYSE circuit breakers. For third quarter 08, 3600 point decline they will pretty much close shop no matter when the drop occurs and send everyone home. I see a 1 hour trading halt in our future. Shit...

Wow that brings memories, I remember working at Kidder Peabody. heh.

I always settle my trades fair and square. I bet they will not remove this on october 2, They will extend it into the elections. Might as well close the markets for a few weeks.

What does that have to do with a crazy jump in price on the tape. made no sense.

I loaded up on GE on those 22 prices I mean shit thats crazy stuff.
