dafuggin - actually, i found the italian in hoboken disappointing; i didn't care for leo's (though it's an institution), michael's closed...i did like johnny ricco's (on 9th/washington) bunches, however. and margherita's was a pleasant twist...where did you go? hoboken really started...

more stuff. nyc subway map: http://www.nycsubway.org/maps/route/ see that big block of emptiness between the 7 and L in queens? that's not near a subway stop? that's a decent place to look...for price considerations. checked your other posts, and though you proclaim your...

some pointers (these are from YEARS ago, so check before doing them) as well. -> the village voice comes out on wednesday. certain places have the voice on tuesday evening - i seem to remember them being near astor place at the cube (which is a couple blocks away from the voice's offices)...

dafuggin is right. i lived in hoboken for most of the last 15 years - moved out 2 years ago. 3 or 4 years ago, if you lived on the far west side of hoboken, you could get 700/1 br small. not anymore. a friend of mine is renting a 2br on bloomfield/4th for 1800/month, and knows he's pricing...

the way to get around THAT part (contact person) is: email the person and ask if you can contact them about (said item). according to ebay's rules, this is not spam...and therefore ok, as you're not doing 'unsolicited commercial email'. however, it's ok to ask permission to contact said...

i actually have 5 browsers on my system, but opera rocks. it's the main one i use; i have pop-ups disabled, and won't allow plugins. i use netscape for mail and news, as i've used it for years. i use IE for random things where i need popups (ie. ISLAND book viewer), and some browsers that...

yeah, they deliberately have those low limits. i believe this still works, but not sure. i had one account which reached its limit; closed it, cancelled the credit card on it and opened another. when that almost was at its limit, paypal upped the limits if you hadn't had any problems...

just some background - ebay and paypal (now together, ironically enough) have lied about their fees and charges, and futureplans, since nearly day 1. so, if you use them, *expect* to get whacked with ever increasing charges. however, i'd suggest checking out the usenet newsgroups if you're...

i read a couple of ross' books (trading by the minute, business, etc.) though i did NOT use his methods, having them and seeing them was an eye-opening experience to me. after that, i re-evaluated my trading methods (which weren't working) and started thinking outside the traditional box...

andre - great interview with realtick RE: hottrend. when i was at the expo in nyc, i told them firsthand how much i love hottrend. i generally fade lesser-known stocks, but don't have too many positions at once, and work off of 10/15 minute intraday charts. hottrend is real nice for me...

thanks! will check it out EOD, when the day's over...

def, can you clarify what that means? sorry to ask a seemingly easy question, but i looked in JAVA and then in TWS, and can't find anything like that. thanks...

i'm hoping that a fair number of people turn up here...robin was very kind in her praise for the site, how it could help traders of all levels, etc. mentioned 17k people registered? i think i heard that right. anyhow, hopefully baron gets more publicity out of it for ET....

it's a message board... NOT a chat room... (i know, baron, you weren't the one saying this).

seriously? and not for a place that wants 50% of profits, but that you trade THEIR money, and get a salary + nice bonus? like one of the ny / ct firms? ok. here's what you do. start pounding the doors. get a contact at as many trading houses as you can - use family, friends, teachers...

buy stocks that follow, but lag, the futures. it's obviously more complicated than that, but that's the basic premise.

i've gotten ALL my money out of IB with checks. i've had one (1) time that there was a problem, and one other time it took more than 3 days to arrive. most times, i get it 2 days later; sometimes, 1 day.

and wasn't knocked out by it. take boiler room, throw in a little mafia stuff near the end (a la goodfellas), and that's your story. what i don't understand is why this is being made into a movie. i guess there's still a mafia fascination...

i thought you were asking why you couldn't see the Qs on nasdaq, a question i've seen many times. anyhow...my ISLD connection worked fine today. many trades in and out, all visible. (my broker's IB).

in a nutshell... once ISLD got 5% (i believe that's the number) + of the total trading of the QQQ, there's some rule that their quotes can't be displayed... most of the active traders that used to use ISLD now use ARCA, i believe. i don't know the legalities, specifics of it, but it's...
