    USD symbol at IB

    You may want to check with IB customer chat for the correct symbol to input in TWS. At tradestation, I need to put the contract month and year behind DX. Don't know if you need to do that at IB or not.

    could the economic situation be different if we voted differently

    If one were to rely solely on the mainstream media to tell them about the state of the economy, it would be vastly different. At the market peak under Bush (when people still had jobs) the economy was frightful, but now it's pretty damn good according to CNBC.

    A nation on the brink

    Not speaking up because of an ongoing investigation is one thing. Not speaking up because of political correctness is another. Was political correctness a restraining issue in any decisions or ongoing investigations? Maybe that should be explored. Not disputing your assessment of the...

    Not all Christians

    Not all Christians are flat earthers. "Today top clergy, including Funes, openly endorse scientific ideas like the Big Bang theory as a reasonable explanation for the creation of the universe." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hf92aHEwYT87J1XPP4JrIusKBT-AD9BSTO1G1

    It's official : Bernanke has lost his mind

    After the Dow has retraced 100%, he will proclaim "What crash? See, it's all good." Meanwhile, Rome will be burning at his feet, but he won't notice or care. He'll have his market recovery for what little it will actually be worth.

    Magic Carpet ride

    Agreed. I don't expect the oldsters that got screwed last year are anxious to invest in equities again, and most likely the ones that do will go in near the actual top for a second beat down.

    Magic Carpet ride

    Just print some new money, legislate some stimulus, add a few well placed superbots, spin all econ data to be somehow positive, throw in daily pumps by various officials and network(s) that would rival a pink sheet penny stock fake news release and BAM!!! Instant super bubble! Did I...

    Magic Carpet ride

    They have figured out where the bears enter the patterns. The question is: Who are they? And are they working for the fed? Certainly they are working with the fed's recently created money. "Come see us at the discount window". Play now, pay later.

    Magic Carpet ride

    I believe that the fed is getting a Cramer like pleasure at the repeated destruction of the bears his money policy is creating.

    Market refuses to go down

    That was my point. The jobs number had impoved in July by .01 when it was forecast to miss and we rallied. We missed the other day and again we rallied. By the interest rate reasoning, shouldn't equities have sold off on the number beat in July?

    Market refuses to go down

    Wasn't that the fed's stand in July? In July, the jobs number beat by .01 and I got hammered on my Q short at that time. I was long Q's last week at an excellent entry price, but based on my experience in July, I exited because of the miss on the jobs number. So what has the fed said...

    CNN Falls To Last Place In Cable News, While Fox Continues It's Domination!!!

    They were still pretty biased back in the day. I'll never forget the 94 election. I thought Shaw was going to cry. It was more fun watching the horror on their faces than hearing the results of the sweep!

    CNBC Viewership Plunges 50% In October

    First it was the muzzling of market related political opinions that didn't fit an agenda. Now it seems they are placing importance on interviews and ads over market moving data releases. They are useless for trading if they are not timely and unbiased.
