I know a lot of Iranians, and they talk about how the currency is completely crumbling. They think it is going to get much much worse. How can I bet against the Iranian currency? Thanks!

That is an awesome chart Trader13! How far can you run that comparison back? I'm curious how they've done versus one another from waaaaay back. I know the industrial use of gold is pretty low. Not sure about platinum. Not that such is necessary compelling (clearly is not in the case of...

I will say this. I know nothing about how good he did or does personally in the market, but first I watched a couple youtube videos of his, recommended to me by a cool ETer, then later while listening to a Chat With Traders (I think) podcast he came on. He could have me fooled, but he seems to...

Ah, scalping is always considered the minimum tick size? Even if a stock has a 1 cent tick size, but a bid-ask spread of like 2.32 to 2.37? Thanks Buy1Sell2!

Can someone tell me if this is more/less the idea of scalping? On average, on a given day a stock might be up or down say 1%. But during the day that stock would have been up and down .1% many, many times. So the scalpers are trying to say, OK, I'll risk the average 1% move for an entire day...

Trying to keep my favorite thread of all time alive! What happened to all you guys that used to post your trades live?! That was a lot of fun.

Well they do reduce market cap over time of course. As more and more money comes out of the company, over the long haul share price will have to drop to reflect dwindling corporate assets. There can be temporary deviations based on other factors, but imagine a company that keep buying back it...

Very interesting convertibility. I remember some survey of investors and what their biggest worries were. One of the top ones was "dry powder" - too much money out of the market because (apparently) the valuation are too high. Seems to me if all these people have a whole lot of buying power...

Question - what did Xela and Handle123 do exactly to warrant them getting banned? I've read through the thread (admittedly fast), and I see that they are not who they claimed to be? Is that it or did they do something else? Thanks.

So why exactly did they get banned? I seem to remember both of them posting generally helpful things. What were their alleged crimes?

All hail the VIX!

dozu888, can you expand on the Fed Model SP - what is it and how it comes up with a 5700 number for the S&P I take it? Very interesting. Thanks!

Thanks for that link dozu888! Even less bullish when I looked - 28/72. But that says "mixed", not "bullish" as I would have guessed - when does it turn "bullish"? Thanks!

Haha wait, dits he do that? Sounds so unlike him haha.

Got it Sig. Much thanks.

C'mon bears, ante-up a little bit more!!!

Never run into this before - this is in IB where they seem to have pretty good short availability. Is everyone and their mom now turning against this thing and shorting it?

Those guys just can't catch a break!!!

Well, the more you sell out to the public, the more money you have to try and make money, the more money you have to have a juicy CEO/President employment agreement with the company with lots of bonuses for good performance of those now larger sums of money, etc. But, ya, I don't think I'd ever...

Thanks ajacobson. So just to confirm I'm understanding correctly, "Virtu" whatever that is, will, at least if you have TD ameridrade, stand ready to buy and sell SPY, at least at some prices, 24/7? Have you used it? How good is it (in particular how big the spread)? Thanks!
