    The End Michael Lewis

    Yep, Eisman was smart and had pretty good timing. But as others have noted, he also was levered up betting against the whole mess. If they had mananged to keep all the plates spinning in the air for a year or two longer, Eisman might have blown out too. Great article. And anybody that...

    Physics brainteaser

    It can't go faster than the wind, if its travel direction is exactly down wind (parallel to the wind velocity vector). If it is allowed to travel at a down wind angle, then yes. The wind will travel around the curvature of the sail at a faster rate (Bernoulli's) and essentially "pull" the...

    Brokers with checking account

    I was with Schwab for years. Great customer service. Also, very expensive to trade there. At least as compared to IB. IB has a simple to use (you have to use your security token tho) ACH broker-bank deposit/withdrawl feature. It is free for a couple transfers a month. Otherwise I think...

    Larry Williams' 1987 Robins Championship Trade Log

    According to Gallacher: LW Financial Strategy Fund lost more 50% and was closed in less than a year (1989). World Cup Championship Fund also lost more than 50% of original equity and was closed in 1990. Are these just flukes, or is LW just a gambler who has winning and losing streaks and...

    Larry Williams' 1987 Robins Championship Trade Log

    You are correct. My appologies to LW. I went back and reread Gallacher (been about 10 years). Still, there are some facts about LW that won't go away. He has had serious and criminal tax problems. Why can't he just pay his taxes? Doesn't he make lots of money? Also he has had...

    Robert Kiyosaki now teaches people to "trade"

    Once again, this argument is like "Cramer and Kiyosaki sell worthless advice to the clueless and do/have done shady things to make millions, etc, etc..." Is this really to be admired??? Not in my book. No, I don't have millions. So what?

    IB market open???

    What server? US, HK? What securities? Emini Globex? Stocks? I'm on the US server and rarely have problems that are not my ISP. Give us some specifics and we'll see if others are having similar issues. Shouldn't be too hard to find out what is going on. Good trading.

    Best Bang for Buck; KMP

    You could also "ladder" some strikes down. Like 5%, 10%, 20% (if there are strikes that low). That way you are bound to hit some and they will help pay for the others. Just make sure to put in the sell orders (and stop loss orders might be a good idea too). Don't get (too) greedy!
