I just picked this up from slashdot and thought y'all would find it interesting. These are old wax cylinder recordings of the presidential candidates. Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates I particularly found William Jennings Bryan's speech about the guaranty of bank deposits...

Cuz if they don't let you withdraw money from your account, they may not even let you in the bank. Keep some someplace safe. Use your imagination. Think like a burglar and don't hide anything in those places. I have some put aside, though it's not even 10%. The poll was flawed in that...

Cash as in greenbacks? Hopefully you're not keeping it in a safe deposit box at a bank.

Are you looking for stocks to buy and hold, swing trade, or day trade? Totally different search criteria for each one.

So *they're* the ones responsible for our economic meltdown! Blame Canada!

Ditto with IB. You just have to answer their little questionaire correctly to indicate you have the right amount of experience to handle it. I trade limited risk option spreads in my IRA all the time.

You mean kinda like the final scene in "Fight Club"? Operation Mayhem was supposed to erase all debt by destroying the buildings that held the finance companies' servers... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

Optionetics Platinum does it. Also, the thinkorswim.com platform can scan for volatility skews as well and it's free with an account.

That's funny. A gun-slinging maniac is the prime minister of Russia too.

Guys, just because a handful of these yutzes sent a letter doesn't mean it'll find its way into the bill. Think of how hard it would be to implement and how much delay it would add to the bill's signing. For those 2 reasons, it won't make it in.

Just when you thought it was safe - "Deep Impact 2"

IWM and DIA are both shortable, so I don't see the connection. Anyway, isn't QQQQ the so-called "tech-heavy" ETF?

Why aren't SPY and QQQQ shortable on IB? It's really strange I think.

Yeah, use the FIX interface.

Before getting a PDT ding, I recognized the risk and deposited mo' money in the account. I've heard tell that you can appeal it if it's your first time and they'll let it go once.

I agree. The darlings will be dumped with extra zeal when the shit really hits the fan. The financials are already beat up, so these tech high fliers are next. Still, why bother shorting when there are so many other ways to make money with options? Especially in a crash.

The Bridge to Nowhere, or the Brooklyn Bridge?

If you've been having problems making money in Forex, now's your chance. Hop on the love train!

I have a pretty manly computer, so throwing hardware at it probably won't matter. I just avoid closing TWS windows once I open them unless I'm at a good break point. I leave the main TWS window and the OptionTrader window open all the time. For charting I use QuoteTracker rather than the...
