maybe that's a problem. make them assume some risk. hello SEC ...

Just a hypothetical ... you have a margin account. broker recommends stock xyx. cr*pload of xyz purchased. stock xyz tanks. you get margin call(s). does broker get hit at all ?

I prefer Franklin .... "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D- Penn) on CSPAN ... "On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help and...

This apparently nearly happened last Sept. 18th .... "On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to...

ok. but that's nearly every restaurant, deli, construction site, etc, etc, etc in NY. you're talking about maybe 1.5 million people, just in NY. i'd rather get them legal, paying taxes, etc.

if you blew up your account ... o reduce your expenses. you may need to find work elsewhere in the interim, part-time maybe. good luck. o take some time to reflect on what happened. get out and about. o something needs to change. the change takes as long as it takes. don't...

So how does the Fed print 1 trillion dollars ? I heard they don't even fire up the presses. They do it electronically. Here is my imagined scenerio :) Fed Chairman (F) to Treasury Secretary (T) ... (looking at 1200 page stimulus bill) . (F) "ok, open up the accounts payable...

Quote from millionaire7: what happens to the broker ?

But something must drive the news. Greenblatt thinks it's the golden ratio (afaik). I'm as skeptical as you are, but it is an interesting idea.

Jeff Greenblatt (lucaswaveinternational.com) on Sunday 2/22, presented at the NY Traders Expo, and his thesis was that the technicals (price/volume) drive the news, rather than the news driving the technicals. Certainly counterintuitive for me, anyway. In particular, he believes that...

they're both in the dow. i imagine that delisting a dow component is not as simple as delisting a nasdaq stock. interesting that the nyse changed their listing criteria, as a previous poster noted. obviously, their market caps are > 15 M, and therefore not subject to delisting.

> Call me crazy - I want to buy banks! i'd sell you one, if i had one ! :)

cool. your insight is appreciated. yea, i've been trying to trade intra-day the YM with little success. i assume the ES is similar.

bingo ! maybe he saw that he's not long for this world, and made one attempt at redemption. sort of a death bed (row ?) conversion, if you will.

ok. but that's only 1 issue. maybe the YM, TF, NQ, EMD, et al are different ? i could be wrong. i hope you're correct. it would make my task much simpler. anyway, if futures (e-minis in particular) have such strong trends, why are they so difficult to trade (for me anyway). after...

not anymore.

dow bottom ? how can there be a bottom without any support below ? dow 2596 (ca. 7/1987)?

i've only looked at the e-mini futures (never live, just demo). but my impression is that they are much more range bound than equities. your stops will probably get taken out much more frequently trading e-minis than equities, assuming your stop is in the "range" (just my impression)...

could you have meant ... re tarding ?
