Actually Chicago goes by Central Standard Time.

I know they were casually throwing out the possibility of opening the market earlier and keeping it open later, but last I checked it wasn't being taken too seriously. Is there new news on this?

The Intelligent Invesotr :D :p

So that means that every conspiracy theory is correct? The US has done bad things before (no country in the world has a spotless record), does that mean every crackpot conspiracy theory is true? What the hell are you talking about? The Nazdaq has the same rule! Are you and ratboy 88 the same...

No, he's suggesting that the short sale rule is unique to the NYSE and that it is the fault of the NYSE. So the Naz is relevant. Get it?

What are you even talking about?? The Naz trades in fractions of pennies, and the SEC is the one who came up with the list. There are more stocks available on NYSE exempt of the short sale rule than on the Naz (despite the fact that the Naz has more stocks). It keeps amazing me how far people...

I'd have to add to that list that people who became decent (or better) at shorting naturally are hurt by this. Things are going to whipsaw more, taking away from the potential profit in many trades.

we agree on this one. I was eager for this soon after they eliminated bullets. Eventually I realized that natural shorts weren't so bad. They could even make for some good and easy trades (despite competing with some people using conversions). Now this is the worst possibility, especially for...

How'd you get tear gassed?

I saw a few hilarious incidents with Walter, but I'd love to HEAR some Walter stories as well!!

But can I sit through the course more than once with no extra charge? After all, if it didn't work the first time, I might as well sit through it again and again. :D :D

you mean JTPJ, their hedge fund? The brother-in-law?

That's primarily what this is!

I agree that if someone stakes their professional credibility as a trainer on claims of having been a great trader themselves, they should be more than happy to offer evidence. If someone told you to take his or her writing class because that person is a great author, they certainly should refer...

The last 1/3 is still tied up in some dispute between Worldco and the state over taxes. If Worldcowins, which is hard to imagine, then supposedly traders will get the rest of their money.

Worldco was hiring right to the end too. But although the rumors were right about Worldco (and seem people clearly did know something), it is also true that there are a lot of baseless rumors that circulate on ET for whatever reasons. People have been saying for years that Hold was on the...

Another reason some of these "gurus" win contests is that they enter enough of them, and take huge risks. It doesn't matter if they blew up in 10 contests. If they take enough huge hypothetical risks, they can win one contest, and....abra kadabra...they are "masters."

your mechanic is a cross-dresser?

wow, i need an assistant! One who is as "talented" and "qualified" as yours! :D How many words can she type a minute?

Wow, thanks for that comprehensive list of EVERYTHING the US has offered. Oh, and by the way, the Germans were on the verge of having the bomb, the Japanese were working on it, and had we not come up with it, someone else would have. AIDS? Oh, you're one of those conspiracy schizos! Michael...
