If you think about it, money DOES grow on trees. Or shrubs.

Same happened to me, but someone with the right connections must have been on the other side. They caught it and busted the trade. It's a shell game. The exchanges (and especially ECNs) appear to bust trades whenever an influential party requests it. The only good thing I have to report...

There is nothing dishonest about what they might do. For example, they might always give you your limit price if they get a fill and pocket any price improvement the order might receive from the exchange. I have no idea if they actually do things like that, but I wouldn't necessarily consider...

Work with the specialist: Some of them reward you for being on the side they have to take. You share their risk, they give you a piece of their pie.

Earlier in this thread, I called the electronic exchanges "casinos". I have been thinking about this, and I would like to retract that statement and apologize to all casinos. I have never heard of a casino that takes away a player's winnings after the turn is over, like any serious industry...

scalp, I pretty much seem to have done what you did. Only difference is that by the time I found out the trend is not my friend I had already been scared away from the ES, so I'm trading stocks now. That's easier, because I have the ES to lead me. Other than that, I think you are OK and I...

Does anyone have details on that? Is anyone here worried that NYSE might become as un-tradeable as NASDAQ?

Dude, don't overthink it! You just need to know that sometimes there is way more where you see a small quantity. Other than that, I don't think it makes too much sense to theorize about who might be selling what. At least not at the level of individual orders or executions. What difference...

Interesting. Like I said, we will soon see how it all plays out.

I understand your opinion and happen to agree with it. But I would not call someone who does not stupid. It is a well-known fact that few governments are as unethical as ours. Why do you think so many people hate our nation? Do you really think it's because they envy our wealth? Look at...

I see. I guess we will know in a few months. What exactly was the reason we went into Iraq 10 years ago? Was it to leave Saddam in power and just make the populace suffer? Somehow I don't recollect the older Bush admitting it before he ordered the assault, but I didn't listen to all his...

This one puzzles me quite a bit. I just can't figure out if you are being serious or ironic. I am especially intrigued by your opinion that an intelligent American citizen would believe everything a government official says. Is that supposed to imply America is so great, because citizens...

Well it's a little complicated, since he has a few look-alikes, it might even be possible that there is no real human Saddam. But to the general public it will just look like the last time: We go in, slaughter a few hundred thousand civilians and low ranking soldiers, make a new UN...

Do you want to bet? I think there are futures on that traded in England.

I don't think George W is the one who wants to order a military aggression. He is one of the monkeys: He couldn't care less about Saddam or weapons of mass destruction. After all, he commands the greatest and deadliest arsenal of weapons of mass destruction on this planet, and he knows as...

We might rid the world of one maggot or the other, but if one thing is certain it is that His Excellency President Saddam Hussein will remain in power after this war. Just like last time.
