    Ignore the futures. bull run today

    Unfortunately this guy took a huge hit trying to catch the 2008 bottom in financials. "It can't go any lower now...". The guy is a Ivy League grad but incredibly one track mind. Some people have to learn it themselves. A few times I said, never again will I talk about finance with him...

    Ignore the futures. bull run today

    I've got a buddy right now buying FAS and he doesn't know a thing about trading. He pretends he does. Anyway he's up like 20k swing trading 3000 shares since Sept. He thinks he's the shinizzle right now. I looked at his trades. He's been buying after every dip. Market has been good to...

    Ignore the futures. bull run today

    You'll probably be ok. Every dip has been bought in this rally we've been having since beginning of October.

    Ignore the futures. bull run today

    Went long in the morning but scratched the trade. I'm positive for the day after joining the shorts that broke through 12-1pm lows. With a name like noob, what can you expect?

    ECHOtrade

    Do you foresee them having to give up that status? Thought it was govt crackdown that forced most prop shops. How about iqFeed? I'm already not happy with the higher data fees as a pro and eSignal exacerbates that.

    ECHOtrade

    Yeah, there used to be lots of complaints, especially on charting. But IB has made great strides. Charting package is really quite nice. Trading by chart using ChartTrader is great. I haven't seen it in any other trading application. Solid app, no crashes for me on Win 7. Use ActiveX/Excel...

    Steve Jobs Retrospective

    Lots of news items, videos, books, movies, etc, on Steve since his passing. I thought this hour and half chat session was particularly informative. You get to hear anecdotes from many of the people who worked with Steve. Bill Atkinson Jean Louis Gassee Andy Hertzfeld Regis McKenna...

    ECHOtrade

    I'm looking to join ECHOtrade since it's so favorably reviewed on ET. I'm currently with IB and love their software as well as their commissions. Got a few questions. 1) How does Sterling Pro compare with TWS? Briefly looked at the docs on Sterling website, software seems basic compared...

    Ipad/Tablets or Notebook

    But you probably get what you pay for. 1.3-1.5lb, .5in thickness, at least 9in screen, long battery life, etc. The bar has been raised for tablets. The newest stuff coming out will probably only be worthwhile.

    Bitter about GMCR

    Eh, don't worry about it. The game is always there. AMZN dumped a bunch after earnings recently. That would have been a nice one, not as nice as GMCR but pretty good.

    Bitter about GMCR

    2 puts? What's that, $24? Are you kidding? You couldn't part with the $24? It's like a lottery ticket but it would have paid more than $924. Even better than the money is the bragging rights. Personally I would have done like 10-20 contracts. :D

    Ipad/Tablets or Notebook

    I like the new Asus EEE Pad Transformer but would prefer that it came with Windows 7/8. It's using Android Honeycomb which means you don't get Excel/ActiveX/DDE capabilities. Asus Transformer

    Recliner chair for trading?

    I saw a Lane recliner where the arms open up so u can put a remote or beverage. To have a full trading rig with recliner, that would be a sweet setup. :D
