    No more FTP tick data from ftp.cme.com

    The CME today ceased to provide consolidated tick data for all products via their ftp server ("time" + "gtime"). Sucks. Now Pay-Only in a stupid per-product format. No Thanks.

    IB Sec Comp Token "Alpine" - BATTERIES ?

    221 views no reply, maybe an employee of IB can try to find out what the typical battery life of the 'thingy' is ? It seems there is interest in the issue ! I doubt I will get a response if I mail Secure Computing myself.

    IB Sec Comp Token "Alpine" - BATTERIES ?

    I also noticed this: Really bad: (IB said you don't need a new number when TWS loses connection !) To make long story short, I want opt out of this NOW, at least for TWS access. I think it's ok if I write/fax something to the helpdesk ?

    IB Sec Comp Token "Alpine" - BATTERIES ?

    Hello, everyone, especially IB reps. You had sent me, without prior notice, an "Alpine" Security Token by Secure Computing. And I am really not happy about it. I googled like hell to find out how long it's "design life cycle" is, but no avail. 10 years ? 20 years ? 1.5 years ? It seems...

    PEAK OIL is PAST

    I doubt it will stabilize in €. Reason: Supply/Demand of course, but furthermore: The US is applying pressure behind the scenes on G8 countries to follow it's policy to weaken paper currencies long term. While € may be considered a "safe haven " now, don't be sure that is forever.

    PEAK OIL is PAST

    I've thought a lot about it in the recent months. After all, I've come to the conclusion, we've seen "peak oil". Maybe late 2005, maybe 2006 until now, that won't matter. What does matter, indeed, is that you all have some really dark ages right ahead now. And no, price won't solve the...

    Month-on-month oil demand is lower for the first time in the U.S. in years

    This could be taken for an argument that we've actually seen peak oil (production) right last year! Reason: 1. price controls consumption. 2. price is a direct result of the gap production <-> consumption. Quite a few experts consider peak oil 2004-now a valid possibility

    IB password card prevents auto login ?

    Yes it works this way. I have a question: How / when do I have to opt out if I do not want the STP device ? I am with IB LLC, as non-US (foreign) customer. Account open > 5 years. Also, I don't want IB to send me a device automatically.

    Goldman & Sachs has a tremendous history in giving "recommendations" that are only in their own interests. (Pushing their own positions) In the past, I made good money betting right against it whenever they gave a "big call".
