So far you'd be right. :) Of course they seem to have done it with the ^VIX so high which of course is its own indicator. We'll see if this has any legs which I kind of doubt. Too much weighing on the market and economy and too much unresolved. IMHO. Do you remember how long it took IB to...

Here's a longer thread on this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131740&highlight=IB+Margin

I found the other thread now. :) It's here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131740&highlight=IB+Margin

Didn't see another thread on this which surprised me. Most everyone must be aware of this. Just got the message from IB regarding eliminating intraday margins and requiring overnight margin amounts to trade. Wish they wouldn't do this. We're adults. We know how to handle this. It's not that...

You're kidding?!!!!! Damn!!!!!!! I've been accumulating that. Now they tell me! :)

Well, I was right about the general market rebounding a bit today. At least so far. They may be pulling some money out of commodities and buying stocks. First day of the quarter tomorrow after a big selloff, and also the first day of the new fiscal year. However there's no Fed to prop this up...

Guess that's it. That's what I thought. :)

Did they just halt trading or something? Hmm.

May retest today's low and not hold. Stay tuned. :)

That's the way it works as we know. It's not really about what's actually going on in the real world, especially initially, it's about how the information is interpreted, right or wrong. We just trade.

Looks like a pretty hefty pullback at the open. Stay tuned. :)

Our message to Paulson. STFU!!!!!!!!! My last girlfriend's mother is a close friend of his. Never met him though. :) http://lambkill.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/normal_uncle-sam-stfu.jpg

Actually we're here to make money and have a good time. :)

Thanks for the link. I was just wondering about that. :) Your link got cut off but here it is. http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?navid=AGENCY_REPORTS&navtype=RT&parentnav=NEWSROOM&edeployment_action=changenav Sounds like it may be hard to interpret accurately as they...

Thanks very much for the info. I was going to trade a couple of hours ago but I'll just wait til tomorrow morning. I thought there may be a bump off the latest levee break, but I saw the double top too. Just have to watch the price action. Stay tuned. Thanks again.

Do you know what time the report comes out and is there a link to view it with maybe a discussion of what's expected? Thx. :) BTW tried shorting the open on Thursday but picked the wrong day. Friday was obviously the day and did pretty much exactly what I thought it would do Thursday. Quite a...

Very observant post. Nicely done especially for your first post. :)

That article doesn't come up unless you're subscribed, which we aren't. Maybe you could copy and paste it here. Thx.

Thanks guys for all your detailed explanations. That was very helpful. :)

Don King, is that you? :D
