I think his point is that AMEX can work both ways. If you are on the right side of a clearly awful opening AMEX print, you appreciate the AMEX routing. Otherwise you don't.

Real inflation (as opposed to government-reported inflation) has already been > 4% for the past several years.

Anyone for 300bps? I'm game. Interest rates would still be trailing inflation.

I think he should raise rates 100 bps to wring out the excesses in one swoop and tell market participants there ain't no Fed put anymore. And all those speculating homeowners can go suck it (along with the banks who lent them the money).

If only that were true. Blowhard Cramer keeps on mentioning that his TV show got a 5-year extension.

Not to mention that he is a turdball prick. Anyone catch his response to that e-mail from Raj last night? What a complete asshole.

Maybe we are waiting to see how the trade plays out? I take it you expect people to congratulate you now?

Well, I rest easy at night knowing that the Fed listens to Cramer.

All I know is when I woke up this morning, I read 2 or 3 separate articles by "people in the know" saying that the commodities run was over and to sell gold. Coincidence?

The number of quotes you can access depends on how much you do in commission. The workaround is to trade more or use a different quote provider (or open 7 IB accounts but then you will be losing interest on the first 10k for each account).

Wow, even me? Awesome.

Yes, that blows. I've had trouble tickets that go a few weeks to one month before getting a reply, but I never use the trouble ticket system for priority communication. Next time an IB employee suggests you use the trouble ticket system for something like this, ask for a different way of...

IB has never been good at responding to trouble tickets in a timely manner. If you need something handled quickly, you have to call or chat. IB definitely needs to do better in this area.

To be honest, I am not sure you have much of a case here. Sometimes IB's quotes are wrong because of IB, sometimes they are wrong because of the exchange source. Erroneous quotes, although extremely annoying, are not grounds for arbitration or getting any money back.

Yes, you make a good point. I guess I must have faith in him to keep his religion out of politics.

So then you know that scientific theories at least have some evidence backing them up. And for someone to say evolution is just a "theory" and to dismiss it because it is just a "theory" goes against how a rational scientist operates.

I can tell that you don't believe in evolution either. Even though you may not believe in evolution, it is the best scientific explanation we have for the diversity of life. And by the way, a "scientific theory" is closer to "fact" then what you are letting on. See the difference between the...

This kind of stuff makes me wary of Ron Paul too: http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/14021.html At least he mentions that it is not "the most important issue" for him, but to me it shows a willingness to disregard science and side with personal religious belief. Another strike...

And since Cramer knows that a majority of his viewers will buy afterhours on his recommendations anyway, he should cancel his show to save the public.

And maybe what you aren't seeing is that in capitalism, parts need to fail in order to make the whole stronger in the future. The fed just won't let the inevitable failures happen.
