I believe that I have the typical COMCAST 6mb service. I had a 4655 / 1001 result from the West Coast to NYC. Also tested 7006 / 1427 from my home in California to a site that was less than 100 miles away: Again, the real key is the "latency" that occurs across the United...

Those numbers are so far removed from what is going on RIGHT NOW, to even quote them as being significant at this point and time is totally absurd. Get real.

This FED is governed by a bunch of "Academics" that have never dealt with a RECESSION before. Hardly any of these Fed Gov. Members were around 5 years ago during the last "R". They come to their policy via a CONSENSUS ( following the market down ), rather than leading with execution. No...

The FED now admits to the "economy IS slowing" from previous language, yet they only cut the Discount Rate 1/4 of a point. These guys clearly have NO CLUE. And most troubling is the fact that most of the current Fed Governors have NEVER been thru a Recession before. Very few of these guys...

Moore Capital is down 15% in November due primarily to their Canadian hedge-fund unit run by yet another Amaranth alum . . . http://www.hedgefund.net/publicnews/default.aspx?story=8147 Truth be told, the month of November has not be kind to many a hedge-fund this year.

Given today's "news", perhaps it wasn't just a "fat-finger"? :D The "loss" of this Linguistics Contract does not change 2007 and 2008 guidance for L-3 because the company gave guidance w/o this contract. This has been a "crappy" contract to begin with ( inherited by L-3 via their...

Need to stay above 1509.45 SPX for the first 3 hours of the session, otherwise some of my short-term stuff says it's time for a pullback . . .

1511 SPX is the 61.8% retracement.

Now trading 1506.

By the way, there were some upgrades in the oil service sector this morning, and the likes of DO and RIG were up strongly ( $6 and $7 ). Now, Crude oil has rallied $2.50 since 1PM EST. This puts a strong bid underneath the SPX and the ES.

Now trading a touch above 1500 ESZ. This should get very interesting! :)

Looks like the market pulled-back off the highs on the MBIA news. Stock off 10% ( Moody's sees a capital shortfall at MBIA ).

And yet another A-B-C down of 5 handles and a "measured-move" to 1465.50

Nice chart Rob! :)

A couple of years ago I tried E-Signal and my office was essentially 25 miles as the Crow flies from their headquarters. I was suffering from SPX cash and futures quotes "freezing" consecutively on my Windows XP platform via broadband cable. One quote would "freeze" about 5 minutes into...

What kind of a computer is it? If it is a Dell, you will not be able to replace it with an inexpensive aftermarket power supply from Antec, etc. You will have to go to PC Power & Cooling and it will most likely run you $89.95 or thereabouts if it is a Dell. www.pcpowercooling.com

Mup has done an excellent job analyzing HSTX, which used to be Stratex (*STXN ) ten years ago . . . They make Microwave Radios which isn't much of a "barn-burner" growth product; hence the trading range of between $16-$20. There is no head and shoulders TOP in this stock chart over the past...

First off, let's make this perfectly CLEAR, the FED is waaaaaaay behind the curve on easing. Today's rates in the market place will tell you that. And they still have not done any coupon or t-bill "passes" . . . just repos which are temporary. Secondly, the dollar would not get hammered if...

Mu, why are you fighting the TREND today - - - especially after the SPX put in a double-bottom yesterday and Monday? These are the kind of TREND days where one buys every single dip!

The data from the Beige Book is "old" news . . . Besides, the market wants MORE weak economic news to ensure another rate cut by the Fed.
