Umm, do a quick google search on Daniel Lyons. According to many of the blogs out there, it seems like he has a long history of dogging competitors to MSFT including Rhat and IBM to name a few. I haven't had a chance to read this article, but his past articles aren't exactly pulitzers. That...

Ouch. You got me. My apologies.

Well according to your original post which is quoted above, you want to trade the ES. "Last time I checked" thats not the same thing as Forex Futures. So Interactive Brokers rate is 3.22 RT if you choose the unbundled rate. 3.30 RT if you choose the bundled option. No monthly fees. No...

huh? Who charges 3.80 roundtrip PLUS a monthly fee. That is ridiculous. You have spent 3 weeks on this?!! Well certainly not the cheapest, but the most popular broker with ET members (Interactive Brokers) has a far lower price...

I am about to purchase the Series 3 Premier set from dearborn. 200 bucks seems a bit pricey.. does anyone have a better recomendation? I also came acoss Securities Exam Preparation, Inc. Are these guys better?

God, thats the best. What idiots.

Thats so funny you guys mention it.. This is the first time I actually checked out bloomberg. I know CNBC must be hurting in the ratings and thats why they probably hired some makeover directer.. and struck out big time. Whats the deal with flashing the cnbc alert in neon green constantly. The...

Hey fletch.. just wanted to wish you good luck in your futures trading. Look forward reading about your experiences. I have had some mild success in futures lately, but certainly not confident I can make a living at it right now. But just started playing poker online at party poker. I can...

I haven't read this whole thread.. but strictly comparing columbia and nyu is like comparing apples to oranges. I am sure NYU is better is some obscure department than any other university, but NYU is not in the same league as Columbia. I know Columbia has a masters in finance program that gs...

I like Cramer.. but Ichan is on a different level. I doubt Ichan could give 2 shits about some CNBC personality like Cramer. He could probably make one call, and have him terminated.

There seems to be a physical gap in data for Friday's data on the CBOT. I realize that this market was closed, but that physical gap ruins my moving averages and other technical indicators going forward. I called up techinical support, but they said there is no physical gap, although i am still...

the QM contract on Qcharts. I feel like I tried every month, and the only one that seems to work is November.. but there is no data. Thanks.

I would have to agree. 120k is almost the min at a firm like McKinsey. In fact, she can expect to make far more than that if she just goes to B-school and get re-hired by them.

I enjoyed your post Pabst. I would appreciate any other insights/stories you have about the floor.

Huh? 99% of daytraders would MUCH rather be on a desk at GS. Those guys get paid unreal amounts of money. I know this one guy, who is 31 and had a 4 million dollar bonus trading there last year. Yeah, I'm sure he works hard for it.. but it beats trying to scalp for pennies.

Anyone know if they are going to replay this segment on CNBC? I can't seem to find any info about it on their website.

Hydro, I missed those ipo days.. I can't even imagine how much you guys banked on this. Congrats.

Is volatility really always lower in the summer? I would love to have some type of proof for that. I have always considered summers to be relatively better trading months. At least my P/L thinks so.

What is your educational background? Many daytraders don't finish college, or do poorly in a formal education setting. In that case, it could be much harder to convince someone that you are worth more than a job at the local Mickey D's. And before anyone says anything, I know daytraders who...

I can't believe I wasted my time (from playing poker) to watch that. Never really watched dateline before, but give me a break, watching paint dry is more interesting.
