Seems like data from GLOBEX is not coming in.

Can someone give me YM ES and CL quotes? thanks! :)

Now I'm being told to re-attempt in 3 mins +???? Geez, now instead of auto logging in, i have to use pscyhic powers to find out if IB is back up and I don't overdo my login attempts. Nice.

Completely down now.

There ya go, I just pointed out your problem.

You ask too many questions and try to justify why this market SHOULD go down. You can see bad news if you really want to. All I see is a chart, a base formed, and the successive blast off to the upside. Quite simple. Send me the sympathy card but only IF you can afford one by the time your...

We got plenty of room to go up and I'm quite sure we're on the way to make new highs. A bear market this is not, this is just a sideways market with large swings. The subprime debacle is large and we got write offs left and right and yet, we're still seeing tremendous support in the 1400 area...

Didn't reach your goal but great year nonetheless. Congrats, too, neke.

I'm in over my head with this one :) I bought back the call and sold the stock. then I'll probably need to read up on options more in the future.

Thanks risk, nazz - I'll cover then when I can. I was thinking that too - risking too much cause i dont want to pay a few bucks for time premium.

Got a question to you guys and i think i know what the answer is already but might as well ask: bought RIMM at 104.4 yesterday and shorted the 115 Jan call options at 4.24. Right now, as you can see, RIMM is at 124.55 so my short calls are around $14 as we speak. what's the best way to...

CL is <100. Do you mean >100?

Well, here we go. Just in time for Xmas weekend. Have a berry merry Xmas to all at ET :)

I hear ya. 31 yrs old here. Used to be in college Taekwondo team and practiced Jujitsu quite a bit until I started trading then I didn't have time to do anything including eating. Have lost about 30 lbs since I started doing this full time. Profitable and quite happy with my performance this...

Looking more and more like we're hitting a temporary bottom and we might rally from here (at least until mid-January). Going through the charts of MS, GS, C, SPX, NDX among others and I'm more convinced that we might be moving up from here.

Then how could you attribute the drop to MBI and ABK? I'm sure it shouldn't take traders minutes or two to decide it's bad. The 1475 zone on the ES has pretty strong resistance and as soon as it formed a star on the hourly, chances was that it's going down. Anyways, to each his own. I...

Not sure about Briefing.com but I have streaming news from my other Ameritrade account (I use IB primarily) and they let you filter your news with stock symbols so I imagine you should be able to do that with briefing.com's.

To me, news is almost useless. The moment it comes out, it's too fast for me to react to anyways so I trade purely technical. The price action reacts almost instantaneously unless you get the news 10 seconds ahead of briefing or Bloomberg. Knowing what caused it is more for curiosity's sake...

I believe it's because of the Morgan Stanley news. Quite convenient isn't it.

Gotcha, I didn't notice the "cents/bushel" pricing. Thought it was 1007 dollars / bushel.
