hallelujah. the past 2-3 years have been sticking a fork in some of the most over-rated traders ever...

that new service is trade ideas, which has been out there for a while. here's the deal: RT subscribers get it one month for free in july. after that, it's going to cost an additional $49...

i like steenbargen's site.... and am *far* from someone who believes in selling OTM puts as a way to success...

weird. now it works in IE. and the interviews require an emailed password.

i wanted to check out an old interview on tradingmarkets, went there, and although it links to the right page with headline, etc. there was no article there. fine, i try a bunch of different browsers. same problem. fine, i try a bunch of other links off it. same problem. created an...

unfortunate weak piece.

hoboken's "most bars per square mile" may be true now - i don't know - but it WAS true at one point. that was before new jersey raised the drinking age from 18 to 21 AND enforced it a little tighter. (the two didn't happen at the same time) little known fact: you could order your alcohol...

you can go to books.google and look at how i became a quant or my life as a quant.

slug is spot-on for the hoboken stuff. i lived there for years, and have a few friends who are still there. the reason the taxes went up so much in one year is because (condensed down for simplicity) they didn't raise taxes for 15 years. the politics in hoboken are extremely corrupt...

but this time, hbo actually does some minor investigating. (if it was major investigating, they'd find some stuff out which hasn't been reported elsewhere) the show will air tomorrow (tuesday), 10 pm on their real sports program. philly daily news got an advance copy, ran a quick summary...

uptik's being a bit generous on the travel times to nyc and boston (3 hours each way is more like it from his area), but for people who want to live in rural area but still have accessibility to major cities, the hudson valley works. i agree with an above poster who said there are lots of...

deepcapture = patrick byrne.

that's a longer list than i expected, but exactly what i was hoping for. thanks!

as a specific followup for some stuff i saw (and remembered) today.... i can not place trades through ISE in pre-mkt on IB (can on other brokerages i use). also, it does not recognize FLOW at all...

does anyone have a list of clearing firms for stocks? i know about penson, genesis, legent, rjo and that some firms self-clear (IB, ameritrade), but is there a list of clearing firms, or those brokerages which self-clear? thanks.

depends. if i think i'm one of the first on news, i take. if i think i'm NOT one of the first, i wait, then offer. i don't trade much in pm after hours, more in am.

quick answer: perma-bull = better do lots of other things wrong to get fired. perma-bear = miss a couple bulls, you're fired.

btw, slight sidebar - if you ever look at older stocks through history, check out the floats (and number of shares issued) as compared to today.

because you think the stock will go up short-term? yeah, it's going to zero, but along the way there will be people covering, people who hear of good gm news and think "wow, i'll buy the stock!". mind you, that's generally NOT my trade, and the best long trade already happened (almost a...

that is true about dividend paying stocks. just go back and read almost any information about how stocks traded 80 years ago and the bigger names were all paying significantly (higher) dividends than today. however, the speculative names of yesteryear are less spec than today, but even...
