Can't imagine there can be too much experience with them from anyone - the MSFT futures had the most contracts traded and that was only about 800 from what I heard. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to build up much more significant liquidity to make them a reasonable place to play.

daniel_m - It's not "legislative" deterance that reduces crime - it's "executive" deterance (i.e., the enforcement of the legislation - prosecution, lockup, swift execution (for certain crimes in certain states), etc.) There are thousands of legislative deterances on the books that aren't...

jbtrader - Japan - It's because the Yakuza don't tolerate all the pea brain criminals and ganstas screwing up their action that are allowed to continue breathing in the US :) Seriously, there's clearly a cultural difference (not sure it's what you noted as much as a thousand years of...

You have to wait for the bar to close to avoid those intrabar false crosses. Also, generally you'd use one or more additional studies to confirm the cross since just using just a single MA crossover is most subject to being whipsawed during choppy sideways trading.

trdrmac - Thanks for the additional info - pretty interesting. Looks like those people you meet in a bar a couple of times are the most dangerous - geez, not only do you have to use condoms for fear of AIDS, now you also have to wear Kevlar underwear :)

You should move to L.A. - shooting up each others cars is an LA pass time :)

TM_Direct - yeah, I know it happens (I even knew a cop who shot himself in the foot while horsing around with his gun in the car while on patrol - go figure). I'm still amazed at how stupid people can be sometimes.

metooxx - the .45's a great gun (still have a Colt semi-auto). But there's something to be said for the double sized clips on the 9mms. Muzzle energy of a HV 9mm is comparable to (or in some cases even in excess of) a normal .45 ACP round and if you use a hydrashock or Glaser all the energy...

trdrmac - your comparative essentially attributes all of the 10,000 homicides to some guy at home whacking his wife with his gun - when of course the vast majority of those homicides are from criminal. So unless there's a breakdown of those 10,828 homicides into "murders committed using home...

Optional777 - Exactly what kind of non-lethal weapons are you talking about and do you understand their limitations? Can a bean bag gun be used to neutralize more than one opponents or give you a second chance in case you miss? - Nope, you might get one but then you're dead. Can a...

rs7 - you're confusing accuracy and destructive capability. The two are not mutually exclusive. First off - the M16's .223 round IS the same round used in various small animal hunting rifles. It's not typically used for deer or things of that size because the .223 tends to damage rather...

Gotcha - I was looking at the larger overall move. I see what you're talking about now - the "short the gap open" pullback to the 100 day EMA until just before the usual 10am reversal which stalled just below the gap open price level and then fell back to retest the 100 day EMA support area.

rs7 - a couple of points: 1. The urban raid weapons that were being discussed aren't assault rifles nor do most of them use "military rounds". The most popular SMGs used by SWAT, SAS, special forces, etc. use standard 9mm bullets. Same as any 9mm pistol uses. They use them not for their...

Sounds peculiar How's he entering those orders directly into Globex. He'd have to have an active approved link to the Globex front end - not something you'd get dialing in from home through AOL. If it was through a broker, why would the broker computer allow him to process 10,000 contract...

I tried out the Pristine trading bulletins for about a year but they were mostly of little value and definitely not worth their cost. Can't speak to their seminars or trading room, but based on the bulletins I'd guess they're not worth their cost either. If nothing else, Oliver's a good...

wally - maybe my chart's wrong or you're using the term "exactly" loosely, but the S&P's didn't stop falling this morning exactly at the 911.25 level on my chart. 909.25 is what my chart shows. Which is closer to the 100 day EMA than the so-called pivot and the 100 DEMA seems like the most...

bungrider - 1) Handguns are considerably harder to aim successfully, have more uncontrollable recoil (esp magnum rounds), and are easier to have taken away from you than are rifles. Sorry, that's wrong. In close quarters it is always easier to wield a handgun than a long barreled shotgun...

Why do so many of the anti-gun posters keep talking about there being no need for Mac10s and AK47s. Heads up - those weapons are ALREADY illegal. You can't legally buy one. Continuing to bring them up renders your argument invalid. If you've got good reasons why people shouldn't be able...

ddefina - The buying support you attributed to that old pivot calculation might more realistically be coming from buyers who were using the 100 day EMA of the SPX, SPY, and/or SP02Z With the 50 basis point cut, the first reaction was to sell through that intraday support though - we'll...

rs7 - You've missed the point - all guns are NOT treated as equal right now. AK47s and Mac10s and M16s and any other fully automatic capable weapon are ALREADY illegal unless you have a Federal Class III license. There are semi-automatic copies of them available - but they're basically...
