I thought that that flame thrower would punch it through 1k.

I always thought that Sir Elton was a bottom?

That's called "Shorting against the box." It comes from a time when you'd actually hold a physical stock cert in a safety deposit box, and sell short on the open market against your cert in the box to evade tax. This was a factor in the 1987 crash, and so there's now stringent regulations that...

Anyone else getting crappy audio on the FOMC live stream? I tried both the FOMC from the Fed Web site, and the YouTube backup... but I'm getting pops and jumps in the audio.

MDL/USD... Thanks for the tip! Looks like it's settling in at 17 1/4... I bet it breaks 18 by December. Getting in while the getting is good.XD https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=MDL

Taper or tighten? "As long as they continue to give money, they'll keep spending it" I say status quo through the end of the year. 120B/month from the Fed, and same from the ECB. This single policy is keeping the whole "Bull" market going. They're flooding the system with cash. I hate to say...

You may have to get licensed, and they'll have to sponsor you. You can somewhat circumvent this by joining as a Technologist; you're not a trader, you're in IT. In my last company they actually created a separate legal entity (corporation of some type) to house all the tech folks. I was paid by...

Brethren: I want to normalize risk across all my trades. In other words, take on the same amount of risk for each trade, despite different share costs and volumes. I've been adjusting my share count to achieve this, but have doubts. For example, I deploy about $10,000 on each position (minor...

1. Yes, you will be stuck with higher fees for everything. You go into all the exchange databases classified as a "professional," and probably stay there until you die. 2. It's difficult, if not impossible, to go from pro to non-pro. I remember a story here on ET about a trader that started...

I've been connected all morning, with TWS and using the API. No problems.

You're a good trader, a very good trader, but you got tired. Take a day off and reflect. It sounds to me like you're getting a little burned out. Go out hiking.

New York (CNN Business)Elon Musk mocked President Joe Biden over the weekend after Saturday's successful splashdown of SpaceX's Inspiration4 flight carried four tourists on a three-day orbital mission. When someone asked Musk on Twitter why Biden hadn't acknowledged the accomplishment, the...

Trump is the best president since Reagan. Can't wait 'till he takes office again in 2024.

That's part of it... but not all.

Fear... and there's a lot to be afraid of: We've got inflation, unemployment, China Xi "Common Prosperity" trust-busting, a senile president, and real risk of hawkish statements from Uncle Jerome about tapering and tightening at the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. This whole "Bull" market is a house...

I have zero confidence in this guy, and don't respect him. We're going to send him to meet Xi Xinping? Putin? He's going to stand up to Maduro? I don't even want him meeting Trudeau! This guy is the best we can do? Leader of the free world? It's embarrassing!!! He hobbles up to the podium...

Kindly explain... you lost me a bit here. Is that because the price return versions pay a dividend?

Brethren: What instruments do you use as a performance benchmark? In my case, I'm working with a small portfolio of U.S. listed pharma instruments, but the question can be expanded to other portfolio arrangements. Some ideas I had: - U.S. Equity Indices: NYSE$SPY (the classic benchmark)...

Brethren: I'm developing an app that requires video, but can't use YT or FB. Can anyone recommend an alternative to YouTube/Facebook for video hosting? Anyone with Vimeo experience? Paid is OK, but I am on a budget. I've been Googling around, but don't have experience. I'm hoping that someone...

I know everyone is saying, "Get disciplined," etc. I think in 2013 I would have said the same thing... but in my experience it's very difficult to close that terminal when you're up. This has worked for me. When I've had a great morning, and made, say 3% on 100k, or $3000, I scale it way back...
