When I was looking at it, Think or Swim offered me more robust options trading possibilities. Don't know if that's changed or not, it's been over a year since I was looking at it, but it might be worth a look.

Okay, here it is. It's exactly what's being talked about here. http://www.mygallons.com/

I heard a radio commercial for some website you could go to and join to lock in your fuel cost/gallon, but I can't remember what the website's name was. If I get some time, I'll try googling and see if I can come up with it. Sounds about like this.

He's a politician, he doesn't want to admit anything until there is a scapegoat other than the political administration. Right now, they're blaming it on the irresponsible, evil bankers.

Clicking on the link brings up a page saying the article has expired. I'd imagine this is basically the same article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080702/bs_afp/useconomypropertyfinancebankingpaulson_080702205712

I've always thought ADHD for some, especially ones that don't seek that label but have it forced on them (such as school children who aren't paying attention well), is just another label for easily bored (and, a lot of times, highly intelligent). I can see how people like that would do well if...

Doesn't Trichet talk tonight somewhere? Thought I saw that on a Forex calendar somewhere.

The rest of the world is just rejoicing in our misery, isn't it? What exactly happens if they find bad things when they audit the Fed's books?

The emini futures on the index are not much different than the ETFs on the indexes. Just think of a certain # of shares corresponding to 1 contract of the future. I mostly trade the emini future on the Dow, YM, but if I wanted to trade an ETF instead, 500 shares of DIA corresponds to one...

I'm a stay at home mom, too. Just wanted to say hi. Will try to read more later and comment on the trades.

Here's some sample margin requirements for different contracts. Keep in mind these are if you hold overnight, if you strictly daytrade, brokerages have lower requirements (1/2 or less). http://www.cme.com/html.wrap/wrappedpages/clearing/pbrates/PBISOutrightEQ.htm If you've got $10,000...

Didn't trade today, so 0 for me.

*Sigh* Why can't I learn? Loss of discipline, got stubborn, let loss run. -11,752 Account's just a couple of thousand above breakeven for the year. Am thinking about taking next week off.

I'm not sure why it is, but I can tell you it's been that bad since at least '97 when I started trading and actually read some of the stuff on the Yahoo boards. The ratio of crap to serious posts wasn't quite as bad then, but it was still bad. Now, it's really not even worth looking at their...

OK day, but I found the trading difficult for some reason, probably because the trading range was so tight for most of the day (I trade YM). +1421

I went from stocks to futures for a few reasons. One is that I don't have time for all the screening involved with stocks right now. Another is that the index futures don't defy your technical analysis with news that comes out as often as stocks do. Finally, I really like the tax treatment of...

That's what I was referring to, thanks!
