I don't think NetProfit was talking about becoming a floor trader. Correct me if I'm wrong, but seat owners/lessees have significantly lower Globex fees and commissions for the ES. Now a question. If you lease a seat, whom do you trade through?(assuming you're not on the floor). I realize...

Actually, prices have come down quite a bit for LCDs. 15" screens used to go for $1000, now they go for $500. 17" screens used to go for $2500 or more, now they're under $1000. They seem to have more problems though. Hopefully, prices will continue to drop. I hope they improve on the...

My nick comes from the name of the bitter, jaded, protagonist/hero from the classic sci-fi film, "Escape from New York". However, I have no plans to rescue our current president.:D

As far as I'm concerned, the more bizarre the commercial, the more I like it. Anything is more entertaining than CNBC anchors. Now, back to cow tipping. Great posts, Thug and TraderJim. Obviously, more research on the subject is required. We learn by doing. I propose we meet in front of...

I had the same problem a while back. The applet would start to load, the grey box would appear, but the progress bar never appeared. The grey box would just say "loading applet", but it would never load. I had run the demo before so I knew it wasn't my computer. Anyway, later it worked late...

JWKirkland, On the ECHOtrade website, it says you use 19"Trinitron flat screen monitors(CRTs). That appears to be what is in the photos as well. Have you recently changed your setup? Just curious, in which office(city) were those pictures taken? I'd pull the photos of the empty chair with...

I think it will be on tomorrow at the same time it was today. They say 5:00 EST but it didn't air until 6:45 EST. Today's segment will probably repeat tonight(business center repeat). The segment wasn't really that great anyway. Just everything you would expect to hear. They didn't mention...

Another good one- The big frog with Joan Jett playing in the background while the life story scrolls by. Another bad one-It was for one of those zero commission online brokers. These three guys in spandex bodysuits are jumping around. Two guys in blue are trying to knock down the guy in...

Sorry, that would be"Business Center". I guess I should start using the spell checker.:(

Yes, the segment was on Buiseness Center. It aired at 6:45 EST. I don't remember the trader's name, but he was at Momentum Securities in Chicago.

What is cow tipping? Well, supposedly, cows sleep standing up. So, you sneak up to the cow and give it a push, and it tips over. Cow gets pissed and chases you. Hilarious. This is the basis of the joke in the commercial. "Cow Tipping" jokes have been on TV for years. In reality, its...

A good place to start would be www.freeseries7.com It's a totally free site. I don't have my 7 yet, but that's what I've been reading. I will most likely buy some study guides eventually, but Im in no hurry. Some good courses are www.stcusa.com and www.dearborn.com Sometimes you can find...

Why not trade retail for a while to build up your stake? That's what I'm doing right now. Do you have money to relocate? Stay where you are and trade it if you're a trader. Use a little extra leverage( options or futures ) to help you. I only suggest that because you have the degree and...

Worst: The guy is having lunch with his friend talking about his crappy stocks and his friend keeps saying "Same boat?" "What are you talking about ?" The Aflac duck is getting really old. Best: The bull and bear is a good one, and yes, I think...

Well, there seems to be some confusion here on bullets(at least for me). I don't trade at a pro firm but I'll say what I think I know and let the experts correct me. Hope to get some replies from Bright or Echo people who are using bullets. In review, Bullet is an option position, so...
