Not many Bids on the DOM

The elimination of the specialist means everything will be electronic like on Nasdaq. The really screwed up thing is the dark pools, because you could be buying while huge blocks are being sold behind the scenes, and when it's reported the stock just craters on no volume. Ridiculous imo.

I like it! Good analogy!:D

In 98, you could make 10% a DAY in Nasdaq or NYSE, those were the days of the free money giveaway.

The I-Banks like Goldman, and the big hedgies are jamming up the Ags and oil by piling in LONG. It's a pretty one sided market when Joe Sixpack piker goes short 2 CL, and Goldman buys 5000 long at a clip. They are parking the free fed money into commodity futures, because they can't make much...

The shit wont hit the fan until after the election

Just because you have a 95K account doesn't mean you need to trade 10 lots on the ES. Trading real money is VERY different from papertrading. Papertrading only proves your method is profitable. Trading real money introduces FEAR into the equation. Not everyone can trade with money on the...

Yeah, the big money is piling in long into oil futures, so we will go much higher it seems. 150 looks likely in the next few months. Demand can only fall so much, everyone has to go to work. But imo, clothing, travel industries are going to suffer in a big way. People are going to be buying...

I'm in NJ, and according to my doctor's nurse (very reliable) Horizon is the best. That's what I have, the HMO so everything is covered with a copay. If you go for the PPO, you save a couple hundred a month, but the hospital stay is limited to 90 days, no rehab, etc. so if you have a major...

Good day to lose money being whipsawed to death.

This is really scary to me. Go look at SPX in the mid 90's and even some parts of this decade, 5 point daily ranges for months on end. Trading the Index futures will really suck ass. GULP! :eek:

I have heard that Comcast "throttles" people who do alot of file sharing. I just wondered if they might consider all day downloading of financial data a problem, and if anyone else had a similar experience. It seems dandxg is also experiencing this phenom. The good news is its not deliberate...

I think it's almost time for class now. Run along little girl.

Hey, here is a twist, instead of saying "no, no recession prove it" how about YOU prove we aren't in one. If 100 people say yes, and you say no, I'd say you need to do the proving genius. That or STFU

I am surprised to hear it was several markets at once, but the ES is IMO probably one of the most manipulated instruments on the planet, and afterhours moves have become comical. The ES is led around by the nose by the big banks like Goldman, Lehman and a few of the large hedgefunds. It...

I thought Goldman was the Russian Mob :D

Oh, props to Sue Smallbones :D

I agree with bighog, the STOP server bot doing it's job. Probably means we go up big tomorrow, without a few people :D

I spoke to Comcast, they claim that in order to integrate my old provider into their network, it could be months before the speed comes back to 10+ mb! Sounds like BS to me, how could it take so long? They are the only game in town for me, as DSL from Verizon blows around here (disconnects...
