    9/18/07 - A Sad Day For America

    reminds me of the speech by the teldar paper CEO comparing his company's leverage to that of 'some piss poor South American country'. oh how things change. the 'piss poor' '3rd world' countries are now awash in cash, have budget surpluses, and we're the piss poor country. amazing how...

    9/18/07 - A Sad Day For America

    i tend to agree. what bothers me with the talking heads and the politicians (and, seemingly, the fed) is that they seem to forget that pain is often a good thing. excesses need to be worked thru, not have some inflationary bandage that, in the end, will only exacerbate the problem and spread...

    Trader P/L 2007 Questions and Discussion

    i would disagree and you're failing to contemplate some fairly obvious things: from what i understand, he was trading a small account early on and trying to automate a system. it didn't work well automated and the small single lot type account got stopped out a lot. further, vols have...

    Funniest Trading Clip of All-Time

    kinda oversold with your title there. you're either on the timmay payroll or very easily entertained. i liked timmay much better in the one where he joins the crips.. anyone else get the feeling that the timster would blow his own dad on one of these webcasts if he thought it might sell a...

    For crying out loud IB ... please release TWS 876

    wow. kiwi and i agree again- go figure. i had the exact same thing happen twice tonight with 877- completely unstable. hell, to go along with that, it still thinks i have a net long position in HSI (wrong- though, yet again, i had to call HK cust svs just to make sure), that i had a loss of 6800...

    Can Start Buying Natty Now

    yeah, the people who are afraid to be long over the weekend are clearly more skittish than the not-so-afraid to be short crowd. i just made a quick scalp playing the bounce after the latest drop. i want to be long, but i don't have the conviction to carry it over the weekend @ this point.

    looking @ the same thing wondering whether i want to short b4 i go to bed. this run up is just way too easy- same thing happened a couple times (one in each direction) a couple of weeks ago- both were bogus and sussed out in the morning. what to do, what to do...

    a bit confused about the price action. if you look @ soon to be Felix, it's clearly becoming better organized and forecasts are now for it to prolly be a TD friday. odd that the price has trended down. finger on the trigger...

    that's a fact. t/a does matter, but not as much as the weather and when contracts are being rolled. made a small profit (quite small)- should have been more, stop kept me from a loss though. still hoping for an entry back in @ some point in the season. thanks for the link above, i was...

    Is Hang Seng pulling a Shanghai?

    as my acct. can testify, be careful shorting. it's a f-ing daisy chain right now. China goes up, and has gone up, HHI and HSI go up to narrow the arb, and, NOW, the US is in the game. take a look @ ACH today and the past several days. so then the HHI and HSI key off of the US action for Chinese...

    i enjoyed your chart progression- my head has gotten away from looking @ the bigger picture, using trend lines, etc- so it was a good kick in the head for me. that said, the type of racism in your last post is far too common, reprehensible, and must stop!

    Ib Hsi Margin

    thank goodness i have my govt. protecting me from lessening my risk :confused: as inexplicable as not being able to trade Korea. do you know if these rules are based upon physical location of the trader, citizenship, or where you lived when the acct. was opened? ie: wondering if i can trade...

    Ib Hsi Margin

    after basically blowing up over the previous 6 trading days (kiwi will enjoy that news), i thought to trade the MHI today to get some much needed confidence back. i was surprised to learn that i (ie: US based) can't trade it- at least not thru IB. i don't quite understand why- Def (or anyone) know?

    i guess today's report- 'no tropical cyclone activity seen for the next 48 hours' both off africa and in the west atlantic gave another reason to go lower. again, from a technical perspective, sure does seem primed for a nice bounce. question, of course, is will the bounce be off 5.50 (oct...
