    Starbucks CEO a hypocrite

    Schultz might be a hypocrite or whatever else you want to call him, but he's the one who turned a commodity into a world-renowned brand.

    Zen Fire Disaster

    zenfire users aren't stuck without data either, and quite frankly, you won't find a data provider nowadays that doesn't claim to employ redundancy. my main concern is that this sudden shift in opinion on zenfire coincides with cqg's market entrance on many popular retail brokers.

    Zen Fire Disaster

    sometimes that smoke strangely coincides with a new competitor showing up in the neighborhood... you see, the only very recent addition of the integrated cqg/ninja package at many brokers (including GF and AMP) has me wondering what's so bad that could happen to a data provider that only a...

    World Trading Contest

    This was basically an attempt at marketing the platform and the broker. Broker is fine, but platform is shitty... I didn't even bother to trade.

    I think I found the right guy for the Fed's empty board seats...

    you mean "would do" :D i actually enjoyed reading your post and how it was back then, as I was just born in '89. it gives me a perspective of how life was as compared to how it is now. you brought up a valid point regarding borrowing at no cost. obviously, as you said, demand to borrow...

    Has the Fed realized QE isn't working?

    dear comrade, i for one, believe the fed was and is trying to do the right thing. the fed is working within the system --- its rules and its given capacities to effect economic change by monetary means. the real question you should be asking is, and which i'm asking you, does this system...

    I think I found the right guy for the Fed's empty board seats...

    i realize that you posted before I edited my comment to elaborate on my statement, but what you described is just one more symptom of the monetary system that world currently employs. should money be free? under the current paradigm, you might as well ask, should production be free...

    I think I found the right guy for the Fed's empty board seats...

    interest rates shouldn't be to begin with. be, as in exist. the business cycle that makes people go default is a built-in symptom of the interest rate based monetary system. remove the ability to create money out of thin air, and you'll get a stable economy. more money doesn't create wealth...

    1 min vs 3 min

    mike, are you trying to get some sort of validation? because you'll find people here, who successfully trade any time frame from milliseconds to months. for your situation, you should be using a time frame that you're comfortable with, i.e. that is compatible with your risk tolerance.

    can't short spy or Q's friday

    they're index-based securities, not indexes. big difference. ed, i don't think exchanges charge people when they employ breakers. it's an all/none situation. i mean, when you wanna short a million shares, $20 is a spit in an ocean.

    Putin: USA Is A Parasite on World Economy

    Piezoe, great post, but how does one insure that whatever currency is adopted as a reserve, the stewards of that currency don't abuse that status and follow the same road as the US?

    Trading on an Airplane

    I knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who traded airplanes. Last I heard, he was wanted by Interpol for illegal sales of fighter aircraft to terrorist organizations. I'm not exactly sure if he was trading on an airplane, so you might wanna be careful.

    Which factors made S&P 500 jump so much starting 1995?

    Was it only the internet boom? What about inflation? Any indications or news that most of the jump was simply a reflection of the Fed inflating the money supply?

    Which public firms manufacture/distribute energy-efficient light bulbs?

    A better question could be, which public firm (if any) has the greatest market share in the energy-efficient lighting products? Starting first day of January, 2012, through 2014, light bulb suppliers will see a shift in the types of light bulbs they are allowed to sell on the US market, per...

    Putin: USA Is A Parasite on World Economy

    Didn't Russia pay off its foreign obligations (that it defaulted on in '90s) under Putin? I'm not defending him or his policies in Russia, but he does have a point. If it wasn't for its reserve status, the dollar would long have gone to the pit of worthless currencies. But the real matter...
