just think if they'd lost 300,000 jobs instead- the DAX would be at 5000 by now! everything is fine. crisis over. Obama's budget which requires 4% growth is too conservative- we'll be giving China a run for their money- soon to have 10%+ growth. the ECB better raise rates 300-400 BP's to head...

lately, ib's 'trades' tab has been more fucked up than Courtney Love on her birthday. i had a trade execute tonight in the dax where i had canceled my limit 15 seconds before. it disappeared from the DOM and then magically reappeared and was executed. i then sold it (thankfully @ BE). no...

agreed. however, i am leary of this opinion because everyone with a brain thinks the extent of this rally is complete bullshit. i'd be a lot more comfortable committing to a short if the 'smart guys' were as giddy as the market is. seems the skepticism is fueling this thing at this point- people...

you need to go out to the june contract to find any volume. and, yes, it's on teh nymex

ha. incorrect though... 1. Barney FOUNDED the tea bag parties and has been holding them nightly in his home since the 60's 2. as Barney would tell you, the balls belong in his mouth, not on his forehead. 3. if the Obamanation keeps tossing money around like a ginned up Ted Kennedy...

is that bull as in bull, or bull as in bullshit?!?

thanks for the link.

worth it just for the pixies. one of the better song placements in the history of film imo.

i'm thinking the same. if the mkt shrugs off the GS earnings as priced in and GS corrects, should be a good tell for whether this rally will sputter or continue.

it's my understanding that all they have to do is divest that asset. all of these companies will take the steps to 'not' be a bank as soon as being a 'bank' is no longer in their interests. it would be naive to have thought anything different from teh outset.

Sus: you still short? was the nationalization of Hypo viewed as a forgone conclusion there? btw, any recommendation for (english language) site with a comprehensive and reliable calendar of Eurozone economic releases and events? thanks.

well, this appears to me to be the reason. i'm short too and it's getting damn close to a stop that i, frankly, never thought would come into play tonight... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/business/09bank.html?_r=1&ref=business

you're kinda missing his point. as IB customers, we are ALL unpaid beta testers because they clearly don't actually make sure shit works b4 releasing it to our P&L's. as to reporting bugs to IB- good luck with that. as anyone who has called IB with problems will attest, your connection...

there was nothing racist in what he said. WOW, you are SO part of the problem and, apparently, not bright enough to realize it. The 'race card' is soooo played by Obama and the millions of bots who revere him. hell, i don't even call him Obama, i call him JC, since that is what he and Oprah...

exactly. the 'fix the bugs, end the serial updates' call has gone out for many many years. IB will never change their ways. the only thing that would make them change is if another broker finally garnered a clue and gave them some real competition. one day it will happen, IB will lose many...

read the accounts of bank CEO's from that meeting or house republicans intial meeting. both the same: 'i'm president and you're not- i can do or demand whatever the fuck i want, bitches.' nobody i know could see what a megalomaniac this guy is. everywhere he goes he has to make speeches with...

since you registered back in '02, seems a bit late in the game to being going off the reservation with fantasy blotters. only becasue of your '02 date do i give this even a notice (that, and i've had similar runs and, likewise, pissed them away in a single day- like yesterday, for instance)...

ya gotta watch that overtrading in day 7. even though your results were ok, i guess, it shows a lack of discipline...

does anyone else think that marketsurfer's version of internet porn is jerking off to pics of Timmy? seriously, the extent of his man-love for this little worm is, well..... creepy.

yeah, the job requirement to open a brokerage acct is a bitch. my 93 yr old grandmother wanted to open a brokerage acct to buy treasuries. of course, she couldn't because she didn't have a job. she's now working in a meat packing plant so she can keep her brokerage acct. similarly, the same...
