That wasn't 20 points though, was it? JetBlue opened at 37 and went to 46 on the first day. Looks like Don was caught in a falsehood! I find Don's conspicuous absence from this thread to be an admission of guilt for some of these accusations.

Traderfut, I'm not a Muslim and have never read the Koran and I am very surprised by daniel_m's quotes from the Koran condoning violence and killing. Are these quotes true or false? Also, can both your quotes and daniel's quotes be true without contradicting each other? Please help me...

But I thought Don was an honest guy giving accurate information to help new traders avoid the charlatans in the industry! Don't tell me that he's really a sheister! Jeez...

MKXT was shut down but they were not purchased by E*Trade anyway. E*Trade purchased Momentum Securities and Tradescape's trading platform. Don't know the status on Omar Amanat, though.

Too much "noise" on Naz market stocks (KLAC, QLGC, EBAY) characterized by ECNs popping in and out for size, whipsawing moves, etc. Unless your stops are pretty wide (i.e. 50 cents or more), you'll get tossed around and lose money on tickets. Listed stocks move more slowly and it's a little...

I don't know any Nasdaq scalpers (trading liquid, market stocks) who make consistent money after commissions. Sure, they put up $3-5K days on 400K shares and if they have one down (or even flat) day, they give up all of their gains from the prior days. The Naz traders who are doing well are...

Why does everyone keep compounding their daily returns into the stratosphere? Trading doesn't work like that. The larger your account grows, the harder it is to make 1% each day. You can make 1% of your account size for a while, but then it decreases depending on your ability, the market and...

Each religion has its skeletons in the closet. Even the "peaceful" Hindus and Buddhists have engaged in horrific acts of violence throughout history. We've gotten off topic. What exactly is being debated here? The Jews and Arabs are equally guilty of atrocities being committed against each...

Please refresh my memory since I was probably sucking on my wet nurse's teat during that time. Did Bush Sr. refute my statement, or validate it?

America will continue to support Israel because of the considerable financial and political muscle that the American Jews have in this country, PERIOD. The War on Terrorism has nothing to do with it.

It's a classic chicken and egg quandary. The Palestinians claim that the Israelis started this cycle of violence by killing thousands of Arabs and Palestinians during the past 60 years and the Palestinian Intifada is a legitimate response to this "terror". The Israelis claim self-defense...

We didn't land on Plymouth Rock! Plymouth Rock landed on us! Salaam alaykum, my brother! :D

Mac-dee is just a slang term and I've heard many traders use it. What's the fuss about?

I guess churning is a good way to pass the time:p

You guys have too much time on your hands for such long-winded rhetoric! I'd like to reply but I go out on Friday nights!:D RS7, I just like busting your chops! Call me a devil's advocate! You're right, the Jews are a hard working bunch. They turned Israel into a flourishing country and...

Nope. I'm thinking that the Dow will be stuck in the 7000-9000 range for a long, long time.

Bullshit. There are many Palestinians that provide well for their families as law-abiding Israeli citizens. The Palestinians want freedom from Israeli rule and a self-governing country. Is this such a difficult concept to fathom?

I say short 5000 shares and cover in two months when it hits $2

If they overthrow the Hamas, they will be completely at the mercy of the Israelis who practice overt discrimination against them anyway. How will they have a good life for their people? The Israelis will throw them a few bones here and there but their lot in life will hardly improve much.

My point exactly. The Israelis started this mess, so they shall reap what they sow.
