    Still not a bear market

    Should have gotten some rally from that. However, the failure of another Bucket Shop Company got in the way. Probably more where that came from. My pick for bad stock is now BAC. Recent acquisitions look too toxic. They have a big Wall Street operation. Credit cards? Did anybody say credit card...

    Still not a bear market

    Flipping out EWZ for that solar fluff is dumping a winner to buy a big loser. Man, are you just putting this out to troll? MOS might buck the trend if commodities hold up and we keep subsidizing ethanol. That surgical stock looks like an easy 50% move -- to the downside. You may not see 14,000...

    More downside or bottom?90-91 vs 07-08 stock comparison

    Depression of 90? Jeez, how about 1974-75. Look at the lead up to that one beginning with the (real) top in 1966. Look at an inflation adjusted chart for the period. We had a war and entitlements driving the overheated economy. When the fed tapped the brakes in 1969 and 1970 the market went...

    jim rogers on cnbc today....

    Your comments RE: Jim Rogers are informed and I agree with you. Recently he has stated he was selling everything in the US and moving his family to China. He has a little girl that now knows more Chinese than most. China is still run by communists. The PLA is still independent and gaining...

    Still not a bear market

    I wouldn't get too carried away. Give it a few days. Lots of people think this is the "test" of the lows. Maybe, maybe not. IMHO I believe we have another leg down in the next 2 months.

    IB feed flaky in the evening (PDT)

    Does anyone out there trade FX at IB in the evenings? I am in California (PDT or GMT -8). I trade FX from about 5:00pm PDT to 1:00am PDT. Very often the feed from IB flakes out. I have even had a market order sit without getting executed for 2+ minutes. Cost me money. At 9:00pm PDT every...

    Stop Failure to Execute on IB

    I had problems with this also. You need to configure your order tickets to allow execution outside of normal hours. I think it is to keep from triggering a stop in after hours thin stock trading. I have had problems trading forex in the evening (PDT). I am getting frequent outages and just...

    Is IB down ?

    Right when the market went fast on the rumors IB blanked some stocks and options. I had positions on the short side and needed to move quick. This is not acceptable. Does anyone know of a better broker/trading platform? I am really concerned about this because I know somewhere down the...
