China reports Q4 GDP @ 6.8%. in light of all the factory closures, energy use data etc, i wonder what the real # is...

One of Barney 'roll the dice' Frank's gems from the 2003 hearing. read the whole thing to see the quote that McCain and his people were too fucking stupid to use in the campaign to show where the blame really should be placed. this was a hearing, called by the Bush admin, because of worries that...

hey moron. his comments are, BY FAR, the most useful and insightful in this thread. anyone who uses the internet knows his abbreviations and, thus, had no problem reading what he said. kinda like me not using caps- word capitalizes everything so me, and many, are accustomed to ignoring the...

you need to go easy on the # of threads and sensationalized headlines. you're getting dangerously close to stocktrad3r status- not exactly a badge of honour... clue: when people can guess that you're the OP BEFORE clicking on the thread... you've become a nuisance.

a little over the top there sport with your declarative statements as if you have clue fucking one how others trade. the topic is DAYTRADING, not position trading. when/IF you get to the point where you're paying 5 figures EVERY MONTH in commissions and fees, then, fuck stick (i'm adopting...

assuming your post is genuine... the best advise, at this point, is to put aside the majority and do not trade with that $ at risk. if you think making it has left you feeling this way, TRUST ME, pissing it away will bring a level of pain and self loathing that you cannot now imagine. i...

me too. sadly, not b4 it cost me a few thousand euros... hasn't exactly been lock step with the stoxx50 lately either (not just today).

after 27+ years of investing, it is my experience that when things become that self evident, the market price is already there, or well on its way. seems you've already voted with your feet- nice bird in the hand, btw. to the initial premise of starting this thread, my confusion lies in the...

i don't disagree with your argument. that said, there are countless examples of spreads between the long and short end widening substantially. further, the US govt is so in debt that it's a ticking time bomb- not news to foreign bond holders. add in that the magnitude of FOREIGN stimulus...

yes, i know the fed said they could buy the long end of the treasury curve. given the amount of money going everywhere else, and the fact that buying Mortgage Backed Securities is what will work towards their housing goals (buying the long bond won't do this and NOBODY could argue that there has...

according to ib alerts, there was a problem with the exchange. then, when it came back up, they ran like a premarket (why you saw b/a reappear without trading). hth

that's the funniest shit i've read in a long time. lmfao quote: 'The “finger-in-the-dyke” strategy' he thinks he's saying 'finger in the dike' but, of course, he said something completely different. fucking hilarious...

nothing about my psot was 'abusive'. it's pathetic when there is an obvious interchange between one's self. german trader got busted for doing it too (no, not by me, though that was equally obvious). my point is, promote the site by signing up as a sponsor or whatever. to create aliases to...

what is it about ET that attracts morons who talk out their ass. what exactly motivated you to give an incorrect answer? fucking dolt. yeah, right... burden of the fund to hire a private investigator to hack into the prospective client's bank and brokerage accounts to confirm what they said...

anyone else think that greatlakes ted is pabst talking to himself spamming his stupid site. love the new registered user starting pabst worship threads and fawning over him(self). jesus pabst, just cause we're traders doesn't mean we have single digit iq's and can't smell blatant self...

my favourite is when etrade still runs the Chinese guy making his first stock purchase with his family cheering him on. i laugh every time, as it came out at the top in the shanghai mkt. i imagine them now, financially ruined cursing fucking etrade in mandarin. that would be a great follow up...

yeah, the upgrade sign in her mouth is a nice touch and i'm sure not intended to conjure any thoughts outside of a comcast upgrade...

the ridiculous union contracts have ruined more than one US industry- i truly hope that BK comes and then the unions can lament the 'shitty' deal they turned down. if GM has 1/2 a brain, they'll declare BK on dec 31. then the contracts will go bye bye and on the first business day of 2009, the...

anyone actually able to enter a trade? i added it to my permissions and it shows 'approved' in acct management. everything shows up fine as far as quotes, but when i go to enter a trade, it says i don't have permission?!?!? seems IB doesn't have this worked out b4 rolling it out. besides...
