    Can someone please SHUT Roubini UP!!!

    He's getting his 15 minutes of fame, once the market turns around he'll still be predicting doom and gloom and everyone will realize he wasn't actually correct, he just said the same thing over and over until events matched his predictions (for awhile). Abby Joseph Cohen anyone????

    OEC - Rejected Order Bug

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I should also mention that if you complain to OEC they may adjust your account. Maybe not, but it's worth a shot. Last year their pit broker just flat out forgot to execute my pit trade, I asked what was going on and they admitted their mistake, opened a...
