    is there something wrong with INTC?

    Either next week this stock does bounce or the bad to come is NOT limited to INTC. Look at this one year chart... what is to be excited about last week's end rally? If Intel is stuck where it was in the Jan-Feb drop... wow! I guess I'm agreeing with dafong's concern rather than answering...

    is there something wrong with INTC?

    Bad sector in general right now. I know this means little by itself. But, we have great chips on the market now. Who's going to buy the PC or laptop with the new generation chip that always costs 4 times the average chip cost. In an economy like today, outlook is flat and new PC and laptop...

    Would the short ban apply to index futures?

    That would be sad but funny, trying to trade one way futures. Is it even remotely feasible? Hit the 1st strong indicator, regardless of system, and it would simply blow up and drive everyone away.

    IBKR falling

    I'll throw a different view on their potential customer base. Instead of leaving, what if they get more customers like me? Two months ago I pulled my IRA from a traditional fund and deposited (rollover) to a new IB account. They have several hundred in commissions from me already...

    GBP British Pound and Fed Rate

    Only looking for 1.762 hits overnight or tom. Who knows after that. I'm way too new at this to predict. It was pure fun with sim trading, now it's fun but more nerve racking. Especially this week.

    GBP British Pound and Fed Rate

    Anyone trade GBP future? Curious if it "should" be down in range of 1.770 and downward by now? Seems to be holding well considering no rate cut. Thoughts?

    Urgent Message From Rennick

    I want to short the ES from 1200 so bad... Fed decision and other waves of uncertainty prevent it however. Perhaps short at 1210ish after Fed decision. Will see...

    eurodollar futures

    What about the GBP today... 1.764 new weekly lows?? thought it might be stronger. Fed?? rate?? is playing with it a bit, among AIG and other issues. Need a crystal ball.

    Ebay "deteriorating" - mass layoffs expected

    I agree with with King. Holy bloated payroll batman, 15k employees for a web / net firm?? Seems like Ebay could likely be successful with 1,000 to 2,000 employees. They SHOULD be doing layoffs and streamlining business practices. At least it sounds like they have a good deal of fat to cut...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    1st day trading real money and what a day to start. I'm up $87.00 and now out for the day. I feel fortunate but also like I've been drawn and quartered. Got chopped up a few times, stopped out, and 2 small winners. My hand shook so bad the mouse about rattled apart. Nothing like simulated...

    Traditional IRA and data feed fees

    I'm moving a traditional (rapidly decreasing) IRA to IB and will trade in slow swing fashion. I have much to learn so I'm taking baby steps. Small trades will be part of those steps because I have learned that "doing" is as important as research and planning. From IB I know about their...
