AMEN!

There is a slight difference between social politics and a bulletin board system.

It depends on how flexible the software is that is currently being used to run ET. Off the top of my head, I would simply create a new table and allow each user to vote for another user once. Once that user has voted for a specific user, they cannot vote twice. The software could then...

I believe Baron has mentioned in the past that, although this is a good idea in principle, it would take a basic rewrite of the software that runs this board to allow for that type of rating system. However, Slashdot uses a system similar to this using "karma points."

That's precisely why Nitro was already looking at the QQQ's.

I honestly did not vote for Bush at the beginning and found him to be the less educated of the two. I have since realized that it was me who was absolutely wrong. Bush is very educated in the most important thing -- social intelligence. He knows how to get people to love him for who he is...

To all the American traders on ET, happy 4'th of July! Time to fire up the grill and break out the beers and celebrate our independence from the tyranny of old England.

That's right. I agree. And now that the Democrats are all jumping on him like a rotting carcus in the desert, it really does wonders for their party platform. If this is all the democrats have for the next election, I'm not voting for one.

Obviously the exchanges get paid money (through commissions for orders through their systems). What I don't understand is whether this can be a big conflict of interest by both "creating a free electronic market" and gaining profit from commissions. This sets up a scenerio where a large...

What I think Quah was asking though is how do you know that the move would have been something you could successfully fade. In retrospect it was an order entry mistake, but how would the spike down look any different than that resulting from the president getting shot or a nuclear war breaking...

The problem as I see it (and this really is bullshit because a lot of people trade the indices because they aren't affected like a single company -- bankruptcies, etc) is that busting trades is going to piss off a lot of people and NOT BUSTING trades is going to piss off a lot of people...

Brother Candle, Congratulations on your accomplishment. May you have many thousand more insightful posts for EliteTrader.

Now Billy, we asked you to BUY 100 -- not SELL 10,000. Now since we're a big firm, we can get it busted if it goes against us. However it already looks like the market took our unintentional bluff and we're up a few million. You could get fired for that in the future so try to be a little...

"It was like, 'F*** it, let's party, let's go to San Francisco,' " said an AOL official. "So we go to a strip bar, and you're like, 'F***, this is a family company, and we're expensing a strip show!' " Both men and women from AOL attended. .... If a few carousing AOL officials went to a...

Probably the same list you would use if you were out to dinner with your mom while slightly buzzed on wine. Nothing too extreme, but a little beyond kindergarden.

Two weeks ago or so.

That is exactly what it was. If you break the path of a neutral, one of the wires will want to go to ground -- even if you are the path. *ouch*
