    candletrader, you're basically talking about an engulfing candle (either bearish or bullish) right?

    Getting Paid

    Cesko, just fade youself. Do the opposite of what you would normaly do. That reminds me of a great Sienfeld episode where George does this to great results. :D

    Bullets at a Retail Firm?

    IB has a history of underpromising and over delivering. Remember how vehemently they despised trailing stops? Who knows what time and competition will bring. It is rather interesting that lines are blurring. Pro and retail are coming into a very grey area.

    Gilder on CNBC

    This prophet of fibre is back on TV after a lengthy hiatus. And I for one am quite happy. We all need a good laugh now and then. He was on Capital Insiders explaining that government regulation killed GX, WCOM, etc. But what makes me laugh more is his nerdiness. This guy would get a hard...

    Fed cut rate???

    Vinny, can you please quote me saying that there will be or will not be a rate cut? I never predicted anything. Either a cut, increase or stay pat. I only spoke about what to do under different scenarios. That is what traders do. Oh but I forgot! You're not a trader. You take your marching...

    Monsanto MOC

    First, MON was added to SP600 Small Cap which has very little money linked to it (relative to the behemoth SP500). So that may explain a bit of the action there. Second, ATH's close on the graph will not tell the whole story. You have to find out what the MOC close was on Jun 24th to see if...

    Monsanto MOC

    I don't know about you guys but this switch totally confuses me. MON is going in but then PHA is spinning off its 85% share of MON to PHA shareholders (at close of today). What is the net effect on order imbalances? :confused: Hey! did you guys catch Bob Pisani talking about how this MOC...

    Fed cut rate???

    Ofcourse it isn't going to help! But we all know that if the Fed does cut, there will be a spike up as a result. And as traders that is what we are ultimately concerned with. btw, the long bonds may be telegraphing inflation (but then again what do I know?).

    Getting Paid

    Lawyers work for the person who pays their keep. What in the world were you doing thinking that lawyers that were paid by them would have your best interest in mind? :confused: :confused:

    Getting Paid

    Fed cut rate???

    Vishnu, here is Bill Gross' take on the liquidity (or lack thereof): http://www.pimco.com/ca/bonds_commentary_investment_outlook_0802.htm Also, I see a few scenarios: Easing/No easing but more importantly....potential bias change. I think the market is so demoralized lately that even a...

    America Must Go it Alone

    Maybe America will not be so alone in the potential conflict with Iraq: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/08/12/wirq12.xml&sSheet=/portal/2002/08/12/ixport.html&secureRefresh=true&_requestid=166233 http://www.observer.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12239,772585,00.html

    Brazil

    No, no, no!! The reason the US did not get involved with Argentina is that the exposure to a meltdown there is very small for US financial institutions. Who has exposure there? Spanish banks (Santander and BBVA) as well as some Canadian banks (Scotia). Now, Brazil? Major exposure for US...

    JPM Derivatives Monster

    http://www.tanrange.com/s/ChairmansCorner.asp?ReportID=40632 First, this guy is biased and second, I think he means the Federal Reserve pumped in liquidity not out. Otherwise, I think he's on the money because Brazil's own rally didn't have followthrough. BOVESPA gapped up on 8/8 and then...
