Some of the billionaires in US states are front men of corrupted officials and organized crime. You cannot compare such people to self-made emerging billionaires running legitimate companies. ----------------------- Unfortunately - here shows your dumb american logic again. You think that...

What's likely happening is he's shorting the dow and he keeps getting wacked in the face. He thinks he can outsmart the market - and he needs somewhere to vent his losses. It's tough losing money - so he needs to try and blame someone or something.

Yes, it's a sad attempt to boost ones courage. Like this archilles guy. As a Canadian, I in fact want guys like him to maintain that dumb logic...and in fact spread it to their peers. It's their own dumb logic that does wonders for everyone else around the world. It's like they are shooting...

Exactly, it's funny to see dumb americans think that they deserve something by birth and inheritance, when really - what has this entire scam been built on?

Guys, kill this thread already - it's getting a bit long in the tooth. (Hopefully it won't turn into that old natural gas thread that lasted a yr between 2 guys posting back and forth).

CL, NG, QM, QG I was trying the 2-min out on the ES on friday, but the bars were just wipping up and down. Do you ever try a Tick - I use it but get alot of false signals.

I agree with you. These things can happen and they do happen. Also add to the fact that exchanges go down because of tech problems, and you get these huge intra-day gaps sometimes. With those guys speculating on a light margin, they are bound to topple over like a house of cards built up...

Excellent call JSS. I'm curious what are your thoughts on a 1-min vs a 2-min? I normally use a 2-min, but sometimes the bars have too much range for me. Any thoughts?

Just do a wire transfer and tell them you need it to output in USD. Some US brokers may take a bank draft...maybe.

No - if you want to short oil, you should short oil. If you can't short the CL contract, then short the USO. The USO tracks crude oil pretty well.

Sell trades are guaranteed every day, just as buy trades are.

Let's hope the rest of the world doesn't slow down too much, or things are likely to get really nasty. The US has been slowing down and will continue to slow, the question is, will the BRIC be enough to pick up the slack so the US doesn't fall too far and too fast. All exchanges are selling...

Go with IB if you are a stock trader. They have incredible access to different markets and decent commissions.

Does anyone know why IB has no day trading rates for their NYMEX contracts? It's been like this for months now.

What's the fee? I notice their margins are insanely low. What's the deal with these guys.

Why has CBOT never offered the DJIA 10.00 contract electronic during normal hrs? Anyone know? They have side by side trading for some of the ags.

Yes, I feel this way too, but be prepared to tolerate 1 or even more leg downs if you are holding it long term. I think it's too optimistic to think the selling is done yet. I would love to see a big 500 pt down day on the dow soon.

Yes, it's just becoming evident to the public now more than ever. It's hard for alot of Americans to accept the fact that times have changed (so they'll call it an overseas bubble or whatever, anything to try and explain the uncertainty.) Alot of Americans only watch American media, so of...

Man, no offense but did your mom hug you? You should be out living life, spending time with girls, not complaining how miserable you are and hanging around older futures guys like us. You are far too young to be this sad. We all know you probably had a severe crush on your spanish teacher...

That's what I thought guys, I don't think traders sign anything in the beginning that says they can't be sued. This is business, and business is business, so if a trader blew out an account for whatever reason, I don't see how they wouldn't try to recover some of the loss. Plus, even if...
