    Time for another downtrend in the homebuilders???

    I don't think any past seasonal trends will have any effect on homebuilders for at least the next year - things are quite different from normal right now. That being said I agree with you that I think they are in for a world of hurt and it hasnt been fully priced in. The trickle-down...

    Where is the recession? Show me ?

    The only person who seems to be unable to make a living in a down market is you. You seem to be paralyzed with fear about the market going down instead of profiting from it - and yet you call others weak?!?

    The US economy and the real GDP.

    Did you pull the 9-10 trillion figure out of the air? If not then mathematically show how you arrived at those numbers. Otherwise you are just replacing one fairytale with another.

    There is no recession. Never was , never will be!

    The uptick in first-quarter GDP may raise questions about the likelihood that an official recession will be declared. However, there is a common misconception that two consecutive quarters of outright declines in GDP defines a recession. Indeed, this supposed rule was violated in the 2001...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    I do not believe that IB-caused delay is impossible, even with their aggregated quotes. Server-side issues can always occur during unusual periods. Further as I previously mentioned network delay is still a possibility that needs to be accounted for. I don't follow - why couldn't IB include a...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    I disagree. MBT includes timestamps in their streaming real-time tick data and during certain heavy trading periods you can see the data is lagging by seconds, not milliseconds. Being able to detect and understand that the data you are seeing (or processing in the case of an ATS) is...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    If that is the case and IB's API does not timestamp data then *that* should be the complaint. The end-user should not be assuming the timestamp of incoming data based on their local clock - the timestamp should be included in the data format. If IB doesn't timestamp their data then that...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    The only legitimate complaint you could have is if IB's servers were not properly synchronized with one of the official time clocks. As far as I can tell you have not made that claim. Anything else is pointless. IB sync's with the public NTP servers and you sync with the same public...

    BIG IDEA: why work when you can have pro traders trade for you on collective2 via...

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply. You do appear to be the real deal and therefore retract my previous over-reaching generalization that there are no "Pro traders" at C2 which was more directed to the matter-of-fact attitude of the OP that you can just pick any systems at C2 and let the...

    BIG IDEA: why work when you can have pro traders trade for you on collective2 via...

    The accounts that system vendors trade on C2 (and whose performance is shown on the site) are sim accounts - they are not real. If you subscribe to a system on C2 you can either trade the signals manually or you auto-trade a real account using different mechanisms depending on the broker. I...

    It isn't a brokerage account - its a sim account, no real trading money is on the line for the system vendors. For $98 every six months you too can offer a system for sale. If it you blow out your first system...

    BIG IDEA: why work when you can have pro traders trade for you on collective2 via...

    Why are you assuming that the people who offer systems via C2 are "pro traders"? Spend some time, read what they post and see how the systems pan out over time. IMO real traders do not offer systems on C2.

    The Problem with Hybrids: Chevy Tahoe - $55k

    Yep, I agree - in fact the difference maybe even larger. I helped someone buy a Prius a couple of years ago before gas prices exploded and they were in high demand, it was hard to negotiate a good deal, I'm sure the same is true for many hybrids, especially those that are still eligible for...
