anyone who doesn't think money can buy happiness hasn't met the ben bernanke i would take the money without hesitation as i'm already happy all the time

i'm sure it was the nice midwesterners and not your jersey shore ass starting the fights on a side note i'm renting in chicago with no plans of ever buying in the city- i'll move out to the suburbs somewhere in a few years to start a family where my kids actually have a lawn to play in- no...

i haven't looked into it at all really was just thinking of where to take advantage of the situation. if you did some research you could find outside of a major metropolitan area an area with 5-6 private liberal arts schools within like 20 miles of each other. then you could try and search as...

if you think we are going hyper-inflationary then it'd be a better trade to just get long some kind of commodity with a bit of leverage, say 125% long silver or copper or some type of food (coffee and cocoa i believe are already planted in a way that they are doomed as crops in the medium term...

sallie i think just has all the government loans that are capped and guaranteed by the gov already- if you are looking for a student loan short then i would suggest looking for smaller regional banks that offer a lot of student loans to smaller liberal arts private schools. those tuition costs...

yeah the dem's will use it as a reason to buy more votes in the future- i mean how could those college kids have known that spending 200,000$ to get an english history major at a podunk private liberal arts school wasn't going to pave their way to riches? likely we will find how they were...

thanks for the info- at least it sounds like i'll get a warning- i'm not worried about the fines being deducted without my knowledge just want to know what pain i'm in for when they hit (i'm sure i've made up for it with all my stealing anyways) i typically trade 2-3k contracts a day it is just...

mine takes roughly .05 seconds to hedge when autospreading (ie when the comp gets a signal to trade to getting the trade executed) any other lag is user-based

i hope there are riots in the US streets because the government stops giving free money to half of our population (the half that pays precisely 0$ in taxes) - it would mean we are moving in the direction towards success-- luckily everyone loves a loser so i'm safe being near the cubs

not only do i personally disagree with mechanical trading (a purely intuitive trader here) but i also think you are a a dumbass for thinking others can't do it well.

nothing to see here, no inflation eating our profits- NOM NOM NOM

for violating the 8-1 submit to execute ratio? also anyone know if it is based on order quantity or simply orders- ie could i fake 100x 1000 lots and then offset it by doing 20 1-lots? also does it matter which market you do it in- ie could you fake in the zn and then offset it with a lot of...

i've always done better in the last quarter than any other quarter of the year. for me: q4>q1>q2>q3 - q3 is where i have gotten burned, but it's also where the world fell apart so that somewhat slants my numbers.

nob actually trades 5x3 on the ics if you are a beginning bond trader it wouldn't be a bad idea to restrict yourself to trading on the ics until you get a better idea of how to leg in and out of trades well. i probably trade 35/65 ics/legging ics is very liquid until you need to show...
