    in defense of Cramer

    Exactly....look how he behaves with those coeds when Mad Money is at a college. The thing I hate about Cramer is that he made all of his money in options, and shorting, and then never recommends those strats to any of his followers. I don't "get it".

    Starting/Working for a Hedge Fund

    BTW: Great thread. However, you haven't told us much about the strategies behind your great success....trading time-frame, derivatives or stocks, any options - on futures or equities or indices ? If multiple strats, what was your best winning strat ?

    "One of History's Greatest Financial Crises"

    Exactly. We're in the early, early stages of a downturn....so just wait for those corporate profits to plunge, losses to build, and then the incredible number of layoffs to be announced. Then, we'll be close to a bottom.....but the bottom may last for much longer than one would expect.

    A Kinetic Energy Idea

    Sorry, upon closer review of the daily and then 1 minute data and the signals generated, I don't see any tradeable edge using this indicator. Your idea may be sound, but your implementation needs more work.

    How do you define “Tape Reading”

    Game playing maximus. They got bots now doing the head-faking. My take: best to look at Level 1 and that's not easy visually, especially with active instruments like e-mini financial index futures...so it's best to build your own software model to analyze Level 1.

    Kiss his ass goodbye.

    "One of History's Greatest Financial Crises"

    Huh ? Former Treasury Secretary of the United States. He's the guy who saved us from the 1998 LTCM debacle. We could certainly use him right now.

    this is THE 3AM phone call

    Yeah, think of the three stooges....all in a conference call. Pretty hilarious, unless you are long.

    DOW - 1000 Tomorrow

    Exactly. They're not thinking CLEARLY here. This "Sea of Money" they're creating is clearly being seen by the market as dangerous in the medium/long term. They can't "see" this ?

    DOW - 1000 Tomorrow

    Emini S&P 500 was down 6, now up 10 ! This is so crazy !!! What is going on ? How can this be ? Shouldn't it be down at least 20 ?

    Spitzer' Gal a shared Asset - it's getting better

    But he was a "smart" guy.

    "One of History's Greatest Financial Crises"

    That's puny compared to Robert Rubin's 20 million dollar salary at ailing Citicorp !! Isn't that crazy ? Don't feel sorry for these large banks....

    C++ Compilers.

    I think the tool is called DEPENDS. Yeah, me too, but the company is just being really cheap in their support of the API. Since the plummet of the commission rates, and fee rates, I see at lot of that now.

    QT alternatives

    You've got an adequate set-up....the Win2k alone saves you GOBS of overhead relative to Win/XP. If things are getting slower, it's not your set-up....and dual-core, quad-core is worthless unless the trading software has been SPECIFICALLY re-written to take advantage of multiple cores. This...

    "One of History's Greatest Financial Crises"

    Exactly. This alone should reduce American's trust in US government to about ZERO.

    A Kinetic Energy Idea

    I think you are on the right track with the above. This is a project that I wanted to do, but have not found the time, instead being bogged down in C/C++ API interface coding. My take: 1) define the swings 2) measure the swings: - length of time (or ticks) - price magnitude - velocity 3)...

    "One of History's Greatest Financial Crises"

    Well, it's obvious now the market can humble all....with the exception of the great Jim Cramer who just celebrated his show's 3rd anniversary. And he never goes short. Right. At least for his audience.
