We will...when you can PROVE the funding. Right now, it's a big "secret".

Here it is from Lightspeed - right from my inbox. In a separate email I clarified the $10k min account size, and no platform fees.

I pay $7 R/T and not too happy about it. How can Lightspeed be offering like $3 R/T and still be in business ?

If we continue up slowly here, that will be a bad outcome for your position in DRYS. However, I still think this is a hold till expiration. This market can turn around on a dime and that's what you'll need to pick up the 5's premium with assurity.

Also, Lightspeed Trading just put out an email about a terrifically cheap commission for e-mini trading.

His best bet at this point is to cash-in from the short 5's. Forget the long 7.5's now....they're toast. If the trend continues down like today, he's golden. The worst scenario of course is DRYS at 7.0 in 3 weeks. That doesn't look likely. Note: No wonder why Cramer lost his mind from years...

If dot-net were such a great software platform for development, why has it taken literally 3 years to go from NT 6.5 to 7.0 ? Query me that batman ! It's gotta be a total rewrite. Nothing else would explain that outrageous time-to-market.

Maybe. A lot of the bad news was already "in there".

Exactly. Finally something POSITIVE from this wretched economy !

So you look profitable with DRYS at around 3, 3.5 or above 8 or so. Interesting.

Ah...so you have a ratio backspread going then : Long 500 april 7.5 ? DRYS strong today on double average daily volume. Good if you are long, but I don't know your total position in it.

I'm worried about you guys. Isn't there better fish to fry for instance ? You're shorting a $5 stock that was once $100 ? I don't see any resistance till 10, then 18.

There's an old adage that applies somewhat in this situation: - if you can't attack the facts, attack the law. - if you can't attack the law, attack your accusers.

It sucks getting "smoked", doesn't it ?

EXACTLY. Most prop firms won't sponsor e-mini trading.....they want Nasdaq or NYSE stock traders ONLY. Much more money for them.

Definitely switch. Nothing under $100k and an easy $50k performance bonus or options.

Great strat. DRYS is down because the Baltic Dry Index went down 90% in a matter of months....unprecedented in history. Shipping is mombo weak. Another Idea: Credit spreads....sell 5, buy 7.5 as a stop. If tomorrow shows no falter in the indices, your timing will be about a week early...

I don't dispute that....it makes sense. And then Doug had people like Sushi indicate that payouts were occurring...just to avoid the FINRA complaint filing.

I was wondering when someone was going to speak-up and tell us what they got as far as money. We heard about the miserable 20% payout, but what amounts were being tossed around ? $100k ? $500k ? more ?

Did you ever consider the possibility that some of us took ourselves out of the running given the odious aspects of the offer ?
