I dont think it will be legal very long if it passes. Some things that keeps a lid on drug culture are lack of availability and expense. This law will do away with both of those curtails on drug usage. You will have people smoking and drinking until they are total trainwrecks, all legally...

One question. You say what keeps the HFT guys in business is the liquidity rebate checks. According to your example wouldn't both sides of the trade qualify as non eligible take liquidity trades? Since both trades are immediately executable (offering price improvement over bid) and hitting the...

Martingale isn't the solution. I don't discourage any beginner to explore the strategy is depth. Its a good learning experience. Chart it out, spreadsheets, backtest, whatever. You're guaranteed to learn something.

The only thing eestor has developed is hype. I've been following this fraud for years. Years after years of missed deadlines, hype, posturing and hope. No thanks. It's rather sad actually because it takes away from other small energy companies that really do have a new approach/technology.

Reminds me like the old days when the futures would go -100 or more almost after hours almost every day. Feels alot like stage 2 of the crisis. I don't daytrade anymore but this is nuts.

The reason for the crash?

The gold bugs are gonna love this one. :D

I've never worked in a brokerage house, but: The selloff panic only lasted for about 20 minutes. Before then, it was looking like a hard but not all that abnormal selloff considering what the markets have done not too long ago. In the 20 minutes the dow dropped 600 points. It seems to me...

The elephant in the room is and continues to be the euro plunge. 40% of the profits of the S&P 500 multinationals come from overseas sales. A very strong dollar due to the eurozone crisis will cause multinational profits to plummet. Back in march 2009 when the dow was around 6500, the euro was...

Yes, but I'd like to add: In this instance, goldman never sold securities. Goldman sold synthetic collateralized debt obligations to the banks. These essentially mirrored the performance of a portfolio of MBS supposedly selected by an impartial 3rd party. Paulson paid Goldman $15M to create...

Why did they do this **** on OP/EX? The timing of this move ****ing stinks to high heaven. THIS IS FRAUD! Maybe someone should investigate the massive put buying on GS yesterday and early this morning. Someone bought 155, 160, 165 and 170 April puts in size. Tell me why someone would buy...

The most common mistake most investors make is that they think they know what they are doing.

Perhaps a bull trap is forming. Particularly if stocks don't preform.

Something about that spike seems unfair to me, like some big player(s) doing like you describe. Didn't feel like normal price action. Maybe there will be busts?

Nitro, what about basis? You are assuming that the option contract would track ATM Volatility with no basis. In reality, this is impossible. The market would price the option at a premium or discount depending on the market expectations for the ATM Volatility of the underlying equity option...

Charle is the real deal. No sim accounts. I hope he is doing ok and just taking a hiatus. :(

What state do you live in? Asset protection schemes vary widely state by state. Buying an umbrella policy is a good option. I am not sure if these "umbrella" policies protect against work related lawsuits, ie, I don't believe doctors can use an umbrella policy as a cheap substitute for...

Interesting article on obamacare: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-business-insider-guide-to-gaming-obamacare-and-ripping-off-the-taxpayer-2010-3 One other thing to consider: The healthcare bill does not make it illegal for an insurer to discriminate against people with preexisting...
