    Anybody have a career related to markets, but no necessarily trading?

    I'm curious why anyone would want to become an analyst, when its well know they are wrong most of the time. Doesn't sound like such a compelling carreer path. What's the attraction? stepping stone to portfolio manager?

    TV is dying. Drop your cable.

    Yes its all on there. It's just a matter of time until the streaming quality catches up with TV quality now. And that really is just down to live events, sports, news etc. Bloomberg TV online is amazing quality now. http://www.bloomberg.com/tv/ And it only gets better with every...

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Thanks. I'm thinking of just replacing the HDD with 240gb SSD. I don't use much storage space. And SSD are really getting cheap.

    Todays massive up move in the market

    the market has been like this since 2009 when the fed decided to go "all in" and they can keep buyin chips while the rest of can't. Its funny to think about all the new traders who have never traded a "free market".

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Does the SSD just sit in a bracket beside the HDD? I may do this to my new XPS 8500 sooner or later. Kinda shocked how slow boot up is vs my laptop with SSD. Will be nice when HDD's disappear.

    WTF "SEC approves plan to curb volatility in stocks"

    its not supposed to make sense. Its suppose to appease the big $ and big politics. Are they gonna halt options @ the same time? how about etf's? how about foreign markets? This rule is bordering on the absurd. The only good that will come of this, is when it all blows up in their face...

    Anyone using a Dell U3011 Monitor?

    Well from what I've read the signal is the same with HDMI, DP or Dual link DVI-D. I bought a Dell XPS 8500 desktop with 8GB, 3rd gen i7 chip, and AMD Radeon HD 7870 vid card. The vid card has DVI, HDMI, DP ports. Hopefully it will have no probs running the 30" monitor. Cheers.

    IBKR is on the move today and guess what? It aint up

    it's not awful, but its so similar to what TWS offers already. Perhaps it is more for the managed money crowd with its news and research feeds built in. The only thing I'd like to see from IB is a page like Finviz.com with a matrix I could created with whatever securities/indices - not...

    So JP Morgan lost 2 or 3 billion.. big deal!

    There's no tolerance for poor risk managment anymore. JPM is also the largest holder of notional deriviatives on the planet. Not too comforting. Its dawning on people(finally) that risk management isn't very effective. Period.
