    Why is the market rallying?

    Yeah, they turned all of our charts upside down for today only. Nice.

    Why is the market rallying?

    Exactly. It is really more about lifting the offer more as opposed to hitting the bid but the more buyers/sellers analogy is pretty understandable to most folks.

    SEASON 2, thursday TV WALLSTREET WARRIORS

    Have you been reading the news the last several years about the economy in Michigan and Detroit in particular? Detroit especially is a really depressing place in particular. If you were one of these people would you want to talk to some fast talking schmuck pushing you a stock or anything else?

    Seth Tobias--- DEATH story tonight CNBC 9pm EST

    I thought it was an interesting show. It is the first time I've watched CNBC in months so I guess they achieved the desired effect. Another takeaway was how does Debra Opri still have a legal career/credibility after the last three debacles she has been involved with? Larry Birkhead fired her...

    IB and Reuters News Feed

    I would say yes at this point based on a couple of days observation. I'm sure there are always going to be stories that DJ newswires or Bloomberg will break first but it is pretty good for the price in my opinion. If I was more of a news trader I would probably get a bloomie, but for now I...

    IB and Reuters News Feed

    Yeah, you are right... I didn't scroll down far enough! First headline out was 10:00:03. I'm even further impressed! I've got another few weeks left on my evaluation but this is looking promising so far...

    IB and Reuters News Feed

    I have been testing out Reuters real-time North American subscription for $65/mo via Quotecenter and I have to say that I am impressed with it so far. I have noticed a significant speed increase with release of economic reports since upgrading from the "free" Reuters real-time. For instance, I...

    Cramer urged you to call SEC

    Give me a break... I think the SEC are ineffective and are a captured regulator. Regarding the uptick rule change though, they actually got that one right for a change. I want to know why the SEC never did anything about Cramer passing rumors to CNBC anchors and then trading off the activity...

    The Ultimate 2008 trade... Zimbabwe

    Buy some farmland that is still productive (not too much left there these days). If you are lucky the government won't take it away from you in a few years if you manage to turn it into a profitable investment. You can make a fortune or end up with zero. Either way it will be a good story to tell.

    Seth Tobias--- DEATH story tonight CNBC 9pm EST

    Remember it was Filomena that brought Ash into the picture in the first place. Beware of the trophy blond wife with too much time on her hands and access to an Amex black card. Ash is pretty much full of shit though.

    Russel Sands Begging for 6k on internet

    A quick google search on the phone number also turns up another forex website run by a guy named "The Shark", who says he is the "#1 Forex Money Manager". They are also looking for "serious investors only with a minimum of $6,000". LOL. Yeah, I'm bored today... http://autofxnationlive.com/...

    Russel Sands Begging for 6k on internet

    Why? His main website has pretty much the same pitch as this. I'm guessing that he has partnered with someone else or is in some kind of licensing deal and setup a business entity separately for this.

    Russel Sands Begging for 6k on internet

    He has always been hawking some form of the turtle system for years. Blow up? I don't think that applies to system vendors, unless they run out of suckers to sell to (though there always seem to be an endless supply). If he is really trading client accounts with real money I would be real...

    Oil at 100

    The sell off is more to do with Iraq pipeline going back online tomorrow. There was some competing news this morning that kept it high before the ring open but I think this story is driving a lot of the selling. Also, it is end of the quarter as well. Who knows really, I just follow the price...

    Oil at 100

    I doubt that. He has been in the oil business long enough to weather these rallies and pullbacks. Today was very nice though. I tried a little on the long side this afternoon but was a little too soon and got stopped out. I at least kept most of the day's gain from the sell off though. We could...

    FOX BUSINESS NEWS is doomed

    What's wrong with The Topsy Turvy Upside Down Tomato Planter?? I'll take one of those and also the grass seed that grows on cement blocks, thank you very much. Sounds like ads you see on the higher up cable channels late at night. Have you seen the crap infomercials that CNBC runs over the...

    does anybody answer the (*#&@*( phone at Interactive Brokers?

    Normally I would agree but this seems to be a specific issue related to the tokens. I'm still trying to understand if IB restricts access to your account if you request the token and never receive it. I'm sure you would be upset if this happened to your account. I requested the token last week...

    does anybody answer the (*#&@*( phone at Interactive Brokers?

    Thanks for the info. How long after you request the token do they restrict access to your account or do they? I assumed that you have to go somewhere to activate it AFTER you receive the actual token before password only access is restricted. It would be a real problem if they cut off access and...

    does anybody answer the (*#&@*( phone at Interactive Brokers?

    Well, the worst I have had to wait for customer service is 5-10 minutes but I don't call their support that often. I think this is due to the secure token program and they are probably overwhelmed with requests since they recently made it free. Sorry you are having trouble with that. I think...

    IB and Reuters News Feed

    Ok, thanks. You've been helpful. I can see how stock trader might like this but I guess I would have to wait for a news ticker setup rather than individual securities news. Thanks again.
