    Can I get fired for shorting the company that I work for?

    Personally I would not do this. But if you're not restricted from derivatives you could blur the waters by doing it synthetically (short call, long put) however even that might be sketchy. If the company has a large weight in an ETF you can also partially play it via shorting said ETF but it'd...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    And whereby "rally" you mean "run all the stops." BTW: Check out TF's complete lack of volume (it's always low AH, but still moves) and movement tonight in comparison to NQ and ES.

    I love how Greece got the "bail out" money and then immediately payed it to the IMF and ECB. What to buy with the remaining 20 euros....

    Too much black and white. Not enough grey.

    Entrepreneurs come from families with money

    No I did not say that whatsoever. You just jumped via logical fallacy. I said expecting everyone to run out and start a business or take on heavy risk to do it is ridiculous. Do you seriously thinking every Tom, Dick, and Harry has the means or knowledge to just start up their own business...

    SGX A50 Index future

    What I'm saying is that while you can use the DOM for execution actually looking at or basing decisions off of it is fruitless. There's tons of arbs, market making, ETF balancing, etc orders flying through all the time. It's not a DOM that can be used to infer anything. The same mostly goes for...

    Entrepreneurs come from families with money

    I wouldn't consider it charity or giving if people were paid an honest wage. Heck I bet if everyone's pay were literally doubled the economy would come screaming to life. Expecting everyone to run out and start a business or take on a bunch of risk just to "make it" is ridiculous. The way it is...

    Seeking CL Trader Skype

    I'd figure just hanging out, brainstorming, learning, whatever. There's no need to give away every setup and in reality retailers aren't going to make a difference against 100 and 1000 lot traders.

    SGX A50 Index future

    I use IB and Sierra Chart. Sierra is what handles the continuous contract so even if I used eSignal it would still work. You don't need L2 because DOM is changing rapidly - faster than you can do anything with.

    Germany must be forced out of the Euro Monetary Union.

    Yeah you're right, I had somehow thought the thread was on general EU/EZ predictions. If DE leaves the EZ I'd think the entire thing is a failure at that point, don't you think?

    Germany must be forced out of the Euro Monetary Union.

    So let's say Greece bails... then Spain... Portugal... Italy... UK... in that order? Seems possible but pretty damn remote honestly.

    Entrepreneurs come from families with money

    That's not really the point. The point is that within the last 3 decades there's less middle ground and there's nothing wrong with a middle ground. But hey, trickle down and all that bullshit.
