thanks for the info...i'm (finally!) going to get DSL in january to go along with my cable modem, and have already started researching the manufacturers and products, thanks to the leads above. that will hopefully eliminate my cursing out the cable company every month or so...

mak - do you have TSCM access to the portfolio? the reason i ask... pre 1/2002, cramer had an action alerts portfolio. i remember it being 'reset' a few months after 9/11, and my memory says it was because his performance was so terrible. (see note at end) of course, this is similar to...

makloda - he got the 'total' performance above the s&p? it was lagging it previously... thanks for posting the current numbers - my reports i've posted on other threads were months old. but that doesn't stop people from posting on here that he's a great investor. oh well. i just wish...

for a while, his pumping a stock made nice money for me - fading it. it's not as consistent now... however, to his credit, he specifically tells people NOT to buy in after hours on his recos. they do it anyhow. not his fault. also, 'his buddies' - no, i really *don't* believe 'they'...

i don't know about 'compared to other advisors' but his action alerts portfolio was below the market averages for much of its 5 year 'run'. for every SHLD, there's a doubling down on an NT...

Danulous said: his show is about encouraging people to get involved. no, his show has (quoting from cnbc's webpage) "one goal in mind -- to help them make money." cnbc's ads tout him as a 'genius'. the picks on his program show neither. hate? not at all. his show is (to me, though i...

dac8555 said: his funds returned over 26% yoy over the life of the funds..that is VERY good. true. that's *trading* - not investing. some would say, and i'd agree with them, that much of cramer's skill was in 'gaming' inefficiencies in the market which can't be done anymore (thanks to...

umm...no. he's NOT good at investing in stocks. if he was good at investing in stocks, his action alerts portfolio for the past 5 years would be doing LOTS better than it is. one of the reasons he sent out the "mea culpa" letter a few months ago...

just got this: o all traders: Tue Oct 24 14:37:07 2006 EST Interactive Brokers is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Penny Option Pricing. This exciting development will be available to general investors sometime in 2007. However IB clients can use IB's technology...

it's not good. so if island wants to charge for its book, and all the other ECNs charge, and the brokerages charge - but waive it for each other... the average investor - the one ARCA claimed it wanted to give 'greater visibility' - gets f*cked.

i have no problem busting the 'bad trade'. but to bust 25 minutes worth? that's b.s. there should be *fines* for the firm....

of (cold) chains, i prefer blimpie's to subway. and nardelli's (ct) or white house (atlantic city) blows either away because they use great bread. and quizno's to subway (hot v hot).

to answer your post... don't auto-fade cramer. much of his stuff is random whether it's up or down, people who (love/hate) him auto-pick his (winners/losers). i put up a post on ET a while back the best ways to make money on cramer. one was when, he would pump and move the mkt, to fade...

a large chunk of my trading is shorting under $5 stocks. mb, because they clear through penson, does not allow this except for the huge stocks. for example, JDSU is shortable...but the real active ones aren't shortable. and their short list on the high flyers above $5 is lacking. so...

i sent my letter off to the SEC - would also have done one to spitzer (i'm an ny state resident) but figure with the election, he's not putting anything new on his plate. basically, said look at all these things about how ARCA is transparent and now they're not, avg investor can't see quotes...

this definitely is something the sec should do something about. the 'open, transparent' market isn't true if you can't even *see* the quotes / market. i'll be putting something together later today. i'm assuming a letter is more powerful than an email, and thus will snail mail it...

so, anyone contacting the sec about this? don't know if there's a case.... funny part - on IB today, just popped up, ARCA down due to tech problems at the exchange...

well, i have an account at IB, and saw someone mention IB had a feature like this. and they do - under page, the mkt scanner. it's funny - i've never really checked the other things IB offers besides a trading platform, and this is nice... (yes, it has the pre mkt scanner)

i should add... i'm now looking (as well) for an intra-day list of stocks that are biggest % gainers/losers which includes 1) those stocks below $1 and 2) those stocks which haven't traded huge amounts of shares - ie. 30k or something. i have realtick, and they have their top % gainers...

I wonder who the frigging genious is who fu**ed this up? Must be one of the new 'value added' services of the merger. IDIOTS. after my posting on this a while back, i got a msg from someone who said it was very deliberate, and the thought process (that they heard about) is that if they only...
