    Right. As AAA said, the silence speaks volumes.

    Unfortunately for the Dems, too many see her as the face of their party.

    IB: When are you going to stop trying to play Russian roulette with our money?

    Gee, and wouldn't it be great if there were other brokers out there so you wouldn't be forced to use IB. If only....

    QCharts and the screwed up NYMEX data

    My June oil (CL06M) was going off on QCharts for 73 cents a bbl earlier. Wish I could get some of that!!!!

    Advertising in forum posts

    Some of the attacks have been initiated when sponsors start threads or post and make claims or push their products. Granted, some "attacks" have been over the line, rather than just questioning the sponsor in a civil way or investigating further to obtain proof - and Baron has rightfully...

    QCharts and the screwed up NYMEX data

    Last week I posted here about oil prices being $7 a bbl in QCharts. Last night it was $714 a bbl. Someone was trading in automated fashion using QCharts I think. I just don't see how.

    Liquidity of Futures Options

    I traded the YM options up until about a year ago. They were not very liquid but the spreads were decent and you could get filled for a decent quantity between bid/ask most of the time. I notice now that there are 50 point increments with near the money strikes. That was always an issue...

    Interactive Data to Acquire Lycos Inc.’s Quote.com

    I would be scared to death to run anything automated from QCharts data. I logged in the other night to find the current oil contract allegedly trading at $7 a bbl, down $63 from the close. It's pretty common to see bizzare stuff like that in various contracts - I can't imagine staking money on...

    Duke guys...no dna?

    Tawana Brawley? Yes, you beat me to it. That was exactly what came to mind when I saw the "prominent members of the black community" holding a rally in her defense. Maybe her pimp did her in before the lacrosse team event and she wanted to pin it on some white boys. Maybe the Duke guys are...

    What's your "crash-safe" way of shorting premium?

    Having done this for a while, I would suggest having an arsenal of ideas and tools at your disposal - but do little or nothing now. I know that sounds ridiculous as you typically need to have the protection in place before the "event". The problem is that any real substantive protection is...

    Writing options for a living

    You would roll the calls as you go up. I would also suggest "split rolling". If you have 100 calls to roll up, maybe you roll into another 100 and sell 30-40 puts below the money to offset a continued runup. Getting a few bucks from the puts plus your futures profits can offset the beating...

    Try searching for the topic. There are some crucial details in the answer to your question and many have posted substantive material on this issue in other threads.

    Writing options for a living

    It's usually about $1 more to buy the call spread, over the put spread. That can get pricey to be sure. That is one option, another is to use futures. If your ratios are right and you have a decent trend following indicator, you could go long futures when the indicator is pointing up. I like...

    IB retail pit access or not ???

    I still don't understand why a conditional market order isn't effectively the same thing.

    IB retail pit access or not ???

    Finally, the license to steal is glimpsed a bit wider.

    IB retail pit access or not ???

    Beebers, If you are looking for a stop setup, I would recommend running a conditional market order off the CBOE SPX index, or whatever underlying tracks the products you are trading in the pits. I do this all the time with IB and it works beautifully.

    Cap Hill police plan to issue arrest warrant today for Rep. Cynthia McKinney...

    If the people who elected her consider this to be "adequate representation", then they indeed deserve to have her as their rep. The more she talks, the more people understand the problems that continue to exist in this country between races. DC elected Marion Barry after his prison stint, so...
