    What's Rule 48 and How Does It Affect Us?

    Can anyone recommend a source of historical data WITHOUT survivor bias?

    I'm looking for a source of historical data WITHOUT survivor bias. You know, when a company is bought, or goes into bankruptcy, or is delisted, or some other such thing, their symbol basically goes away from all historical data sources that I can find. So if you're doing backtesting it's...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Yeah, it would pretty much kill all that trading, plus others, widen out b/a spreads, and leaving the average Joe investor screwed as well from both the stock and the lack of liquidity which would make it a double tax. But in terms of collecting, it wouldn't be like the IRS. You can bet they'd...

    Any traders getting together at the LA/Pasadena Trader's Expo?

    Earnings Plays

    It's not just about the number, it's the story with the number: (http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/story/10504842/1/dividendcom-salesforcecom-letdown.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA) What the future holds is ALWAYS more important than what happened in the past.
