    Cash stolen from thinkorswim accounts, any advice?

    That is very uncommon occurrence. If I were you I would contact SIPC http://www.sipc.org/ and FINRA http://www.finra.org/ immediately and fill in a formal complain with them. At least that. Immediately.

    Faked Gold Bars With Bank Origin Found At W.C.Heraeus Gold Foundry

    What do you guys think about it? True? If it is true, how come nobody else from the giant media is following this story (at least to confirm or deny it)? http://www.zerohedge.com/article/german-prosieben-tv-channel-finds-500-gram-tungsten-bar-wcheraeus-gold-foundary-bank-origin

    I just found the holy grail..still not profitable though

    Well, let's just say that volatility is the "holy grail" (and I am not agreeing or disagreeing with that, but just for debate's sake); that still leaves you with nothing; to predict volatility is as difficult as predicting the dow and/or sp500. There are many ways in which you can trade...

    Bernanke delivers blunt warning on U.S. debt

    How about withdrawing all or most of our (USA's) troops from Iraq? How much would that save? That stupid Iraq war that was completely unnecessary, and that the government sold to us based on LIES? How much would that save? A whole bunch, I am sure.

    ES Journal Archive (2009 - 2010)

    I am not too much about complaining about the market, but today I must say that I was "shocked" that the PPT was able to pull the market back to almost positive. We had a mountain of bad news this week, I mean, really bad news. It is shocking, really. Now, of course, tomorrow we will have a...

    The Toyota Hysteria

    Victims of the problem tried that, put in neutral, try to turn the engine off, tried to brake with both feet.... and the car would continue to go forward. It certainly looks like an electronic problem, which toyota still denies. see...

    The Toyota Hysteria

    Sorry guys who have a different oppinion, but it is a fact that Toyota ignored for years cases of "unwanted accelaration". there were several cases, documented, witnesses, etc and the company did not do squat. Then a family died in a horrific San diego accident and finally autorities started to...

    SEC Disappointing Goldman Sachs Amid Vote on Short-Sale Curb

    This government is ridiculous. Really insults our intelligence. They DID NOT ADDRESS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL: NAKED SHORT SELLING, which should be outright,completely and immediately forbidden without exception. No, they just pass this little "smoke and mirrors" thing and ignore that the...

    Head Of Greek Debt Office Replaced By Former Goldman Investment Banker

    Hahaha. A couple of days before the Greece government has to disclose the crazy (and maybe illegal) swaps they did with goldman sachs they replace the debt guy with a... yeah, A FORMER GOLDMAN SACHS BANKER. They are getting bolder and bolder. What I sometimes ask myself is what would be the...

    new short sale rules next week?

    SCI, a lot of people think like you, but, with all due respect, what you fail to see is that short selling (NOT naked) is a very good thing, it regulates the market and avoid bubbles getting even bigger than what they are now. Eliminate short selling and you will have a market very prone to a...

    new short sale rules next week?

    The only problem with shorting is NAKED shorting - nothing else. They should make it MANDATORY to borrow the stock first before shorting it, and problem solved. but no, they don't want touch on the real problem. I can tell you my friends, I totally supported Obama and look, what a deception this...

    How do you stomach huge loss day

    Take some time out. At least 1 or 2 weeks, but as long as 1 month if needed. It always works. Also, work on a "plan B" to your trading, like, "if I had to stop trading now, I would ... (look for a job, start a company, etc) and work on it - that will make you see how much you love trading and...

    Long: spy put feb 19 at 0.96 stop: none (all at risk) target: play by ear A little risky, but I can't help to think about the Greece and PIIGS mess; Are they going to bail out everybody? That would be immensely unpopular in Germany and France (they would pay the bill for other countries...

    How Goldman Sachs Helped Greece to Mask its True Debt

    Very true. One can only wonders how much is hidden (countries, cites, states, etc.). However, Greece is under scrutiny now, and look, there are some news that they already "revisioned" their 2009 deficit from about 12% to 16% of gdp. Don't know much about the source reliability, but (if true)...

    How Goldman Sachs Helped Greece to Mask its True Debt

    Maybe the "real" Greece's deficit will be (much) bigger when all the derivatives mature. Another courtesy of Goldman Sachs!!! see link below: http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,676634,00.html

    The 401(k) Grab is no longer just a rumor

    This is not gonna happen at all. There would be zero political will to do so, as the politicians/party that do this would be eternally branded as the ones who "stole the Americans retirement funds". Don't lose your sleep on this one.
