TBT's up 2% this morning !

Anyone have an opinion on this one ? One of the call-ins to Options Action this week mentioned this guy. It's very close to all-time lows. The play is short put spread.....short 33's, long 31's. (Also, one could go naked a la Vic Niederhoffer !) The idea would be that even if the debt...

This was terrific information.....thanks for that.

Yes, but OTHER firms look at it as a silly reg. Many will overlook it unless you really go wild. The big question is: how often is the SEC or FINRA going thru the expense and trouble of auditing the B/D ? I'll bet very infrequently.

Exactly...but only if all other currencies collapse as well. Otherwise: hyperinflation...$100 will be needed to buy a cheap chinese trinket.

Salma Hyeck / Campari - whew....she's on my top 5 worldwide beauties list.

Post should be renamed: Collapse of the Euro That's going down first... THEN.... the USD.

It's summertime.....best to move to whites: St Supery 2007 Napa Valley Chardonnay Excellent...and high alcohol content.

So Doug got lucky and now he is a great trader ? RIGHT.....

An API is coming within 6 weeks.

What exactly do you mean ? (once again guys, let's improve our communication skills here ! Lots of cryptic BS and inuendo in this thread)

Huh ???? Is the local gentry degrading beyond belief or what am I missing here ? Many people on this forum apparently have basic communication skills lacking. How do they expect to trade well ?

Better go back to grammar school scherlok....and maybe revisit Logic 101 as well.

Why ?

Ask him what kind of positions he puts on. Is he short premium a la Vic Niederhoffer ? If that's the case, then he's saying one thing and doing another. If he was so confident about his theory, he'd constantly be buying out-of-the-money puts. I'll bet he doesn't do this. Why ? It's a losing...

Hey gang, what about this "new kid on the block" ?? : http://www.zumo.com They seem to be an IB lookalike.....but: Alas, they're missing an API.

Guys - what do you expect ? IB is the McDonalds of retailing. Your options are limited as are your needs for support and service. Take your burger and go home....that''s it. Problems with execution ?: YOU'RE SCREWED. Problems with their API ?: YOU'RE SCREWED.
