Here you go... but I'm not a geek, you nerd! :p <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2028406> I know that nobody cares, but there's absolutely no logical reason to punish legit short sellers who have done absolutely nothing wrong! If mosquitoes are bothering you...

It's not a bad swing trade idea, but that stop price is just plain awful, IMO.

Blago's a Dem... but he's no Liberal, just a pure unfiltered authoritarian. Liberals are... well, <i>liberal</i> towards so-called 'victimless crimes'. Dem authoritarians like Spitzer & Blago get off on zealously enforcing & persecuting all sorts of victimless make-believe legal infractions...

I told you... I told you... I told you! (Copied below) God, do I hate this Blagojevich motherfucker. In the past, Illinois had successfully built itself up to become one of the nation's strongest & most prosperous states for a reason- A strong tradition of minimalist, practically...

Your point is valid- It still doesn't quite add up. Drug prohibition and its 400,000 political prisoners can be explained well enough by the fact that politicians simply get their rocks off by using their power to control other people's lives. But selling out our home nation to...

With Latinos casting over 12% (and rising) of American ballots, winning elections without pandering to this key voting block becomes increasingly difficult with each passing election. Our rulers clearly value their own personal political ambitions, far more than they value our country...

Just FYI, the weekly initial claims numbers that come out every Thursday aren't a big deal like the monthly NFP (the <i>real</i> "jobs numbers"). Not slammin' ya- we were all newbs at one time...

I set the market aside to play online poker professionally during the Great Volatility Drought of 2003-2004 ('The Golden Age of online poker'). There have been quite a few extensive ET threads on this topic: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70730&highlight=poker A...

Joey! It's great seeing you here again, bro! Just in case no one ever told you what the 'shinebox' was all about, I'd better fill you in, because a guy can get whacked by carelessly throwing that word around! This explains it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oP1NMB_I0s...

www.Tulving.com If you're below his minimums, ebay works too- But that's a much greater hassle.

<b>I'm</b> an uneducated atheist! Hi! Nice to meet you. :D

Even if there was just one single universal religion, and therefore zero chance of mistakenly picking the 'wrong' faith... This entire concept is STILL hopelessly flawed. Let's say the one universally agreed upon religion was Catholicism, for example. Since when does 'belief' alone...

Sincere congrats on your considerable recent triumphs, Mr. O'Brien. These new restrictions <i>do</i> make my job a bit harder for the moment, but automated borrowing software like LocateStock.com should eventually solve this issue for us legit short-sellers. I'm not saying that I believe...

Thanks! You're very close, but I really do prefer; <b>"Champagne, Blow & Sluts"</b>! :D

I unloaded all of my Visa & most of my MA pre-open, covering the remaining MA shares shortly after the open. I'm actually kind of surprised this play worked out as well as it did. Like I said, when a supposed mispricing is THAT obvious, there's usually some kind of sucker-play catch to bite you...

To clear up any confusion, if I'm not mistaken (a very necessary disclaimer with this topic, because even after 12 years of trading I still know & care very little about these mundane technical details) there's an extra fee on top of commissions when your order is <b>RE-routed</b>, not when its...

Well unless I'm mistaken, here's how much I have to pay every year in routing fees: $0.00. That's because my orders just stay wherever I put them. If I select NYSE, that's where my order goes- no where else. ARCA, NASDAQ, etc... Same deal. Maybe you'd be better off working it the same way...

Very true! I highly recommend that you develop a two pack per-day nicotine addiction, and then make sure to trade in a room where smoking is prohibited! An added benefit is that nicotine really does enhance concentration, and also steadies the nerves. Then you can just buy yourself a nice fresh...

Serious question to all: Is anyone here able to make a living from trading <b><i>without</b></i> routinely achieving the state of mind called "flow" (aka "in the zone")? IMO, achieving <i>flow</i> while trading is absolutely essential. It's that state of mind where you're so engrossed in...

I'm on Sterling too. If you post your daily blotter after you're done for the day, and then post your final net p/l change the next morning, I'll let you know whether or not I see anything suspicious.
