    Yeah that movie does kick ass.....I've got the Special Edition DVD....second disc has tons of cool stuff. The way they did the special effects etc.... David Fincher(Seven, The Game, Fight Club) may just be one of the best modern directors.

    doji- thats a true story of when I was at (MER)....I'm sure he picked those sayings up somewhere...maybe a book. I don't know if the guy is still there..every month he would storm out of his office and yell, "thats it! I'm done with this business!" I was there for 2 years.and he was there when...

    These people who are shorting ES tonight ...

    when I was at (MER) we had an old timer there....once in awhile I'd go into his office and say, "Bob, whats the market gonna do today?" He always said the same thing, "It'll open at 9:30". His other good one was when someone would ask, "Bob , where's the market at". He'd say, "Corner of Broad...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    Thats right inandlong......nobody needs that! I was a broker from 1996-2000......things never change......but one thing I did like about the last bull run was the explosion of online brokers and those great commercials.... I had a handfull of clients who would say things like, "I have a friend...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    this is a perfect example to what I was referring to in my earlier post...they didn't want your opinion.they wanted to tell you what they had so if they went up they could tell you you were wrong and say how much $ they made...... this is also the reason I got out of the brokerage...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    it seems like most people are more interested in being right than making $.....so when they ask for tips....so many of them are just wanting to tell everyone what they're doing or did......so I usually just say, "good luck".....at least this is how it was in the bull run.....now those people...

    that was a fast reply.... ok, but don't you want to get stocks that normally have a correlation of .9 or so....and put the pair on when it gets out of line? (might not be able to reply , gotta get to a surprise B-Day party soon). BTW, you suck.:cool:

    Any Pairs Traders Here?

    Very funny Nitro This is a good topic for you. However, I know you don't like to share your "proprietary" strategies!:D Or as our beloved W would say, "strategery". On a serious note...where's a good place to get correlations now that topology is charging for everything?

    from nasdaq to listed and vice versa

    the most difficult part for me going from Nas to NYSE was the psychological effect from the slower speed...it took me a bit to get used to (still adjusting)...you need to have more patience some of the upsides have been : price improvements......the slower speeds so if you lose connection or...
