Exactly! It is our nature as individuals and as a people to help those in need. I am so confident in that statement of yours that I suggest cutting welfare down to a minimum. No-one will starve in this country if we take away their government benefits. It is our nature to help, it...

What exactly is your problem with that? The US can do whatever we (actually whoever is in power) want to do. No force on the earth can stop the US military. Why do you need the French to agree? And you should not really care whether French soldiers are willing to risk their lives to...

Well, that's probably because none of the people on this board have ever received anything from an American individual or organization for free. You can't argue because American organizations feed a few Europeans, every European has to give thanks to every American. Otherwise Europeans could...

The problem is that we don't have a liberal party. When Americans say liberal they mean democrat. If there ever is a real liberal party, meaning one that tries to make the government as lean as possible and give power back to individuals, they will have my vote. What has this country...

I must second that. The customer's problem with "payment for order flow" is not getting a fast execution at the limit price or better, the problem is that if your order gets routed to a market maker who pays for it, he keeps it there for a few seconds while he decides if and how he should fill...

ARCA obviously. But the really sad part is that the idiots who "protect investors" by banning ISLD from publishing quotes in ETFs don't care at all that trading is disrupted in virtually all stocks and ETFs every day to every other day by quotes that lag several minutes or are complete...

I am offering (short) at $20,000,000

$1.02001

Or 1000 tortoise blocks on the "choppy-to-up" days.

OK, it's true if you don't know a real O/S you might think MSFT has all these capabilities. Let me elaborate: 1. You will not be able to: Configure simple essential preferences like display resolution individually for each user. Have a file on your hard drive that can be accessed (in any...

XP gets my vote. Although it is far from commercially acceptable, it is the first MSFT product since DOS that deserves to be called an O/S. Well, part of it anyways. A huge chunk of it is obviously graphics and public relations BS. But before you believe what they say: XP (like all other...

One more thing. I sometimes may have indicated that the trend isn't necessarily your friend. Maybe I should have rather said: The trend is your friend, but it's no use kissing it's behind.

Looks like you are in need of WizeTrade! I'm not quite sure if that's the right name or how to spell it, but I'm talking about the infamous "red lights and green lights". AFAIK they have TV commercials and rather loud speakers at shows.

You would think so. But then again if you buy 1000 at 10:00, sell them at 10:30 for a profit of 1 point, buy them back at 10:31, sell them at 11:00 for another profit of 1 point, that would make your profit per share 0.2 points, right? If you buy 1000 at 10:00, sell them at 10:31 for a...

That is probably an accurate figure. Having lived in Europe most of my life, I sometimes think back and it sounds like a disgusting fact that more than a third of the "working" population are paid directly by the government and about an equal amount by mainly government-owned companies. But...

Mostly 100 shares if I'm not scalping. Sometimes i let a position grow in share size, but usually in increments of no more than 200 shares per order. I've said it before, I'll say it again: I'm a little guy. But the way the market is right now, I don't think I'm missing out on too much by...

First of all, most people here will lie to themselves and if they have results like +1,-3,+3,-2, 0,+4,-1,+3,-1,+2 for a series of days they will claim to average between 2 and 3 points per day. Secondly, some traders calculate points in 1000-share lots, so if they make a half point on 10,000...

When I read "hydrogen" and "Arabs" I thought he was going to talk about thermonuke-ular devices. But apparently he belongs to the intellectual elite and realizes violence is less efficient than economics in killing off competing DNA.

So you're the one whose lunch I pay for every day!

I guess you could see it that way. But what does that mean for us? If the market breaks out to the upside, it will probably be quite violent. So I'm still not comfortable going short over night. On the other hand, who says we won't see new lows in the next few weeks?
