Volume rolled over a week ago to the new contract. Why trade a contract with dying volume?

It's one hell of alot more than $3,500. Try $3M. Do the math, add the interest over time, get the real number for each man, woman and child in the USA, except for undocumenteds, who aren't slaves to taxes.

Need to stop allowing your buddy to download porn overnight with your PC... some of these trojans can do nasty things... I do alot of video editing for fun, which keeps my processors and HDD at 100% for hours on end, and I went with a liquid-cooling system that has options for all major...

Why would I go from trading at home to doing it as a job for someone else? That would be opposite thinking. I started trading so I could work in my boxers from home and never work for a boss again. It worked.

This is yet another reason why I no longer trust IB to broker my trades, and a further reason why I do not compound contracts to the sky.

Well, I just did some math on the debt owed America by other nations. With interest (some of the debt is generations old), it comes to about half a quadrillion dollars, the same amount as above. Yes, I know the US forgave lots of debt, but serious economic pressures demand serious solutions. We...

What is more important to you, working or waiting for the perfect job? It seems you have the luxury to pick either one, at this time.

Sell-off tomorrow or Monday, I hope.

WAMU had already downsized their employee base, what will the new buyer do to save money?

+ $3,152.50. Long weekend. Chow.

If you are educated and experienced as a trader, and then come to this conclusion, you have just grown into a better trader by conquering emotion. Congratulations. Success.

Is the SEC as inept as FEMA? I hope not, or banning shorts will only be a bandaid, to be washed off with the next round of debt-for-equity swaps by foreign money.

Yeah , don't seek safety in a troubled market, just throw it into the wind! Imagine the thrill of going to zero! Come along!

I don't trade stocks, but made an exception for them, and just pulled $2 each out of a short on these guys. May they roast in hell. I'll smoke one and throw it on their fire.

Saw that. Glad Steph corrected Hussein's statement about his Muslim faith, or he wouldn't have corrected himself, either. Hmmm... Move along, nothing to see here...

I would not pretend to know who the movers are (other than the usual suspect rich families and clubs) but I do know that nothing happens in the world of big money that is not fully mapped out, ready for all responses and contingencies. Those in money are quite militant with it and do not allow...

No shock there. I expect the DOW to hit 7,000, which is half of the high. I also expect real estate to hit 50% values. Anyone tracing the overvalued markets should conclude the same correction expectation.

Bernanke's cocks? He has two? In all fairness to Bernanke, he inherited this mess from Greenspan. On the other hand, I have no doubt he knew what he was getting into from the outset. I don't feel bad for the guy. Seen his salary? He, in my opinion, is the most influential person in America...

I appreciate your separation of US capitalism past vs. present. [B] For now. The debt-for-equity swaps occuring as we speak lead me to believe we are in trouble and will be seeing the UN overseeing our finances in the future. [B] I miss the industrial age in all ways but in the...

No, we do not. Thank you for asking the hard question. That is the hard answer.
