I was still a kid at the time, but if my memory serves, Faces was located right where Hunt Club is(was?). Somehow I remember that there was a second level that faced east with large windows

Considering that she did not come forward immediately after the winning ticket was discovered; that she is probably aware that word has leaked around the trading floor that she is withholding the winning ticket, and finally that no one trusts her any longer and she probably will not be employed...

While Chris genuinely does seem like a decent fella, the infrequency of posts when positions are running against him combined with the overabundance of posts when prices drift in his favor is pretty annoying. Before my message gets deleted by an overzealous moderator or one on the clan of...

Interestingly enough, I believe the Federal Income Tax was enacted in 1913 and the creation OR formation of the Federal Reserve began in 1913 as well

How about Pequod's on Webster and Clybourn with the carmelized crust

I am not trying to pull a "DBPhoenix" on ya, I just want to know if the short ES position you have been building over the past 2 1/2 months is still in the process or if you covered this position on weakness over the past few weeks. I remember you made quite a stir about being short when the...

Yes, I believe you are right. My father was over in England on business in 1985 and he mentioned what a deal it was at those levels, especially after I was in London in 1992 when the dollar/bp was at $2.04. This was a few months before Soros' raid on the bp. By the time I left London in Dec...

Iceman: Great analysis! I really haven't even thought much about the Miller/Artest/Mercer aspect of the original Jalen Rose deal, but that is a good point. And at that time the Bulls could barely get to 80 pts a game...For the life of me I can't understand how anyone paid Antonio Davis, 35...

I was listening to sports radio earlier tonight and heard that Pippen now says his knee is so damaged he wont be back for this season, and will more than likely retire after the end of this season. The Bulls are on the hook for both years at about $10million.... Now I dont want to be accused...

Very good point.

I have also tried the other competitors over the years. Had PCQuote from around 1997-2000 and E-Signal briefly in 2002. The reasons I prefer QCharts are similar to those mentioned in this thread. I especially like the fact that I can look at intra-day data on a futures contract going back a...

I think you summarized it perfectly. Draft athleticism and market that to sell the seats. WIth the amount of money it takes to sign these premier players, it makes it hard to build a well balanced team. As far as the Bulls go. I should temper my comments from the other day. Not because...

Elton Brand was so consistent and so polished from the get go, people so quickly forget the numbers he put up right from the start. He had a very developed game for a guy his age. Artest lacked some of the range for a guy his size, but yeah he was a tenacious player, one who would have been a...

I couldn't agree more. If you break this latest trade down, not only did they give up their leading scorer(Rose) and their most consistent night in, night out player(Marshall), not to mention Baxter, in return they received two players. The third is on injured reserve. From a salary...

Thanks for the reminder. I had not even thought about their auto renewal policy and feel like I escaped a bullet by cancelling before they can charge the card.

One of the stranger things about it. I noticed the Eurostoxx50 drop like a rock about 20 pts lower and the NQ/ES were relatively unchanged, however you could see that the activity was picking up. There was easily a few minute delay between when the Eurostoxx broke and NQ broke. NQ from 1377...

That was an excellent post. The "Crazy Ivans", never heard that term before, but that is a very accurate description. I have been contemplating for awhile how one could objectively evaluate the number of overlapping bars on, say a 5 minute basis. Where the entire range of the previous bar is...

The bottomline is that the index futures have become considerably more choppy, more mean reverting with less range, but more velocity in between pt A and pt B. Much more of the actual movement is the reaction to economic reports, not the natural ebb and flow of yesteryear. I think alot of guys...

The new neverending pissing contest is between DBPhoenix and Scientist. Thats the cat fight du jour...

This might not be the answer you are looking for, but based on previous experience with index options I can tell you that it was never uncommon for the spreads to widen during times of increased volatility. Obviously with a VIX as low as it is now, most people would not think that there is much...
