    IB data a mess

    IB was not the only Broker having issues with frozen quotes. I have feeds from 2 other brokers and they both were having issues at the same time with Frozen quotes on the QQQQ. It most likely is an exchange issue not a broker’s issue. IB does seem to have some issues with ARCA . I can not get...

    Jim Cramer Goes Nuts on CNBC

    hwkaiser - I could not agree with you more on CNBC . Total non sense and a waste of time to watch. I stopped watching them years ago. Back in the late 90’s when we had the day trading boom they were a must watch if you wanted to make a quick buck on Tom Costello or the Faber effect when...

    Fed cut Monday or Tuesday

    Silk Said "Seems like Fed will cut rates. If they are going to do it, they may as well take advantage of the surprise factor and cut Monday morning. " Fed 101 – The Fed does not cut rates to support the Stock Market.

    Why must Bartiromo SCREAM instead of talking?!?!

    Steve D said : " Maria was the best thing that ever happened to the NYSE floor.... " Excuse me while I go puke. You have to be kidding ! The best thing that happened was when she left the floor. She was obnoxious and rude and really served no valuable purpose being on the floor.

    Best Daytrade Platform??????

    I used a cable modem and DSL as a backup back in 1999- 2003. Cable service was with @ Home and was very unreliable , DSL was solid but slower. The point of me trading in my home was just that , I got to stay home !!! :)

    Best Daytrade Platform??????

    Domineaux said : "Were you scalping the tick for small intra-day profits? When you're only taking less than .5 points for the most part bad executions can put you out of business fast." No I was not that type of trader. I do miss the days of fractions rather then cents. I averaged 100...

    Why must Bartiromo SCREAM instead of talking?!?!

    "Man she's annoying. Someone give that woman a muzzle." She has gotten a lot better but is still annoying. Back in the late 90’s when she was on the floor she was one rude Bit@@. She would push the floor people out of the way and basically just disrespect them. Her attitude was that...

    Best Daytrade Platform??????

    Domineaux said “I have not traded since 2001” Wow I can not believe you would actually make a post here not having traded for 6 years and claim that trading from a trading firm has all these advantages over trading at home. As others have said on this board a lot has changed since then...

    Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

    Cyber Trader rep said: “Keep in mind that CyberTrader’s last day to accept any new account applications will be August 31, 2007. If you’re thinking about opening a new account, the deadline is firm.” Why would anyone want to open an account now knowing that it is totally downhill...

    Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

    Mb Trading offers great sweep rates on cash. Last month I got 4.4 % Their navigator platform is good. Only issue I have with MB is they do have quote lag in fast moving markets. It is either the ARCA or INET books that freeze up . There are also occasional trading issues. I believe they do...

    Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

    The integration of Cyber Trader into Schwab is not going to benefit anyone other then Schwab. Higher commission rates, less desirable routing and fills. Schwab is great for just parking money, buying CD’s, an Ira , etc . Looking at what they will offer and the rates they will charge I can not...

    LOTS of spyware!

    Tracking cookies in Ad-Aware are listed as critical items and in fact are not really spy ware. Real Spy Ware sets itself up in your windows registry. If every time you ran Ad Aware and it found registry issues then you really do have a problem . If it is just tracking cookies don’t worry...
