I have had high speed cable service for a while now, very fast (15 mb+ download). The company recently sold out to Comcast, and now I find I'm getting 2 mb/sec up and down! They are throttling my service! I wonder if it is becuase I use it all day long? I haven't noticed any effect on...

This was my earlier point, at 51 you are still not too old to find a job. In 5 years, no one is going to want you being 55-56 and 12-13 years out of the job market. You have to eat my man.

Something to consider is you are 51, and have 8 years out of the job market. I would say you need to get a job ASAP, and possibly trade another market (DAX, Eurostox50, HSI, Nikkei) at night until you ARE profitable. You need to be realistic; everyone here is trying to encourage you, that is...

In my experience, the fills are better/faster in ES (less slippage), and if you trade enough even IB rates are 3.60 for ES so the tax/commish even out. Everything being equal ES is a better instrument IMO. If you pay NO taxes, then it may be better to trade SPY, but you may lose enough on...

Why does it not keep moving lower, because you said it won't? :eek: The problem is the deficit, and we keep printing vast amounts. Just like a stock, if you keep issuing shares, eventually the price craters. Nothing goes straight to zero, so the dollar bounced 6 cents. I bet it will be...

Yeah sure, except the govt. has been revising the employment reports, and I bet the job losses for this month will be revised to -60K...oops :mad: The real inflation rate is 11%, and unemployment is really 10% not 5%. Bush is full of shit. Thank God he will be gone soon.

The Hedgefundfudgepacker asshat is a dishwasher at Denny's, if he is employed at all. 2200 posts in less than a year, all stupid junk like "show me the recession". Jerkoff, how can someone show you a recession?; and when anecdotal proof is offered you say assinine things like "Americans are...

Well, I've never been to Japan, but I have lived in the metro NYC area for many years. I have dated several Japanese women, and they were not only beautiful, but very ladylike and honest. That said, you better have some dough if you want to move to Japan, and I'm not sure it's all that...

Thanks for posting, this is interesting

Kudlow tonight mentioned possible CFTC action in the Ag futures market, saying the level of speculation may be illegal. If this happens, they may target oil next.

Yes, correct

And so if I want to buy a long contract, and there are no sellers/shorts the market moves up until someone thinks it's overvalued

Speculation is what is driving this, and the dollar collapse. The CEO of Exxon and Saudi Oil ministers have both blamed speculation for this runup. It is the hedgefunds and pension funds doing this. There was an article in NY Times today about how speculation in Ag futures by big money is...

What a chopfest

You have brains like GWB....nuf said.

There should be a rule that whenever TRAPSTAR's name is mentioned, typed, or searched for, the word Jagoff and Cocksucking idiot have to appear too. Ok now I feel better. Welcome Trapstar, you f'ing douchebag :D

Does Canada have the Imperial gallon? I think in Europe a gallon is 20% larger.

Yes, true, however Obama is being slowly painted as an unamerican opportunist. First we have his "muslim" background, then we have his wife's unamerican comments about not being proud of her country until Barrack was a candidate (which I think is pretty shitty for a Ivy Law Grad to say), then...

While this may be true, I'm sure it takes longer than a decade or two. In practical terms, when the oil in the ground goes, its gone. 1000 or 1,000,000 is of little consequence. If we don't stop using oil in the next hundred years, it won't matter anyway, humankind will perish from the pollution.

Just trying to be funny. I'm old enough to remember when above 110th St was a war zone like Beirut.
