I've been watching CNBC pre-market, but I'm going to stop. For me the low point was today or yesterday (I forget) Joe and Carl had a one minute discussion about the Sopranos. And it was idiotic, about how "will Tony have Christopher whacked" Joe Kiernan knows alot about the market. They are...

You are probably right, but I saw a piece recently about how this is the longest stretch without a 10% correction in about 80 years. Anytime now...it's almost May :D

Crucial is a good make. Check out Newegg.com. They also have user reviews.

How would the exchange profit from this? I trade emini's and I thought FIFO was just trader vs. trader. Do the exchanges (CBOT, CME, etc.) trade against you somehow?

What is a DOM/SUB indicator? :confused:

If you are a profitable trader (I assume this or you would give up) you really lose nothing. You add the loss into your cost basis for the next trade. After a few profitable trades, the loss is offset by your gains.

It really seems like the PPT keeps propping the market up. It's going to take MASSIVE redemptions to take the market down for more than a few days.

Yes, that's true for the U.S., but China is a new phenom. This is a once in 1000 year event. China is rapidly expanding, AND the USA, Europe, etc. are all relocating not just manufacturing, but R&D and high level design work, as well as back office operations. Also, bear in mind that Chinese...

Stocks like this are always a big gamble. It's being supported by short covering and momo. It could drop $10 in 30 seconds. Anyone remember IPIX? LOL :D

SPAR looks like an accident waiting to happen. It's up from 7 within the last 52 weeks. I would never touch a stock up that much within a year. The book value is less than 5 bucks. Cramer is no better than a monkey throwing darts at a stock table, imo.

Yeah, how do you not determine the price of a house before buying it? If someone buys my old Toyota Camry for 20K even though it's only worth two, that is their problem. Geez, I thought everyone knew you need to get your own appraiser...

GOOG never moves? This was available to the public at $95 in the IPO. I'd say it's had quite a move.

I thought I read that US citizens still have to pay taxes for 10 years AFTER renouncing citizenship. If that's true, I guess we all may as well just suck it up :D

123magic, you have an awful nasty disposition for a high priced shrink. I would have expected you to take the high road. Austin even gave you time frames of the charts he uses. That would be helpful if you were serious about learning to trade. Newsflash, successful traders are not going...

Subban gave you advice worth it's weight in gold...I too had a job like yours, it was boring and dead end, but I could trade half the day. Do you realize that 75% of companies BLOCK access to web sites like Yahoo Finance! You need to ask around amongst your friends. Anyways, I'm trading...

Good article. IMO, Ethanol is just a good way for ADM and the other Ag companies to make a killing. Ethanol won't replace very much gasoline, but it's going to drive up other food prices (also good for ADM, etc.). It's also going to use up valuable drinking water. There was just a study...

I no longer trade on NYSE, but floor traders and upstairs traders used to have access to a whole different book of orders that retail never sees. I bet that hasn't changed.

CNBC is a shill for the brokerage industry. The fact they are screaming about fundamentals being so good, etc. bodes poorly for a bounce, IMO. They would be screaming doom and gloom...they are cheerleading which leads me to believe the street is trying to keep investors complacent as we drop...

Well, I think it saves you from the fate of sending a market order to the specialist and having him hold it for 20 seconds, batch it with 10 other market orders and then filling it .50 cents lower for his own account; then spiking it back up $1 :D It will be good for the retail trader, because...
