Do not forget the income sheltering feature of income generating real estate as well. You can depreciate the building's value over twenty some odd years and depreciate the fixtures over shorter periods, such as boilers, etc. This non-cash charge will be deducted from income on tax returns whilst...

Thanks, but I already checked CRB. No luck.

Does anyone know any internet sources for historical (i.e. ten year) warehouse stock figures for the new york cocoa and coffee markets in excel file format? NYBOT indicated they only had year old archives?

I checked 5/11/06 E-CBOT volume for June Gold. It was 54,409. COMEX volume for June Gold was 85,404. Open interest in COMEX is greater than CBOT by a wide margin. I traded both exchanges today on 5/12/06. Slippage wasn't bad on the COMEX, considering it's open outcry. Both contracts, ZG (CBOT)...

I noticed that the seat to trade gold and silver on CBOT is offered at $19,500 whereas the COMEX gold and silver seat is offered at $450,000. Liquidity is good at both; so can someone explain the reason for such a dramatic seat price discrepancy? I'm considering a seat purchase.

I have used all of these- Comstock, FutureSource, and CQG. To answer your question regarding cost, Comstock is $225/mo. plus exchange fees. (As an aside, they'll try to charge for an international (i.e. non-U.S.)connection fee. But if you negotiate reasonably well enough, they will waive it)...

I have found www.comstock-interactivedata.com, Future Source, and CQG to have very good Eurex feeds. As for Comstock, they used to be known as Standard and Poors Comstock, but they were bought out by Interactive Data. The feed, I ascertain, has not been been adversely affected. As for...

I have three monitors with the following system: A: Matrox G-450 card purchased in 2001. It is a dual monitor card. B: My Compaq Presario 6000 (recently purchased P4) has an imbedded video card. The combination here of the Matrox G-450 and the imbedded video card allow me to operate...

Fast Trader, Here are two personal averaging scenarios which I have used, one successfully and one dismally. 1. I'll often trade NYSE big cap stocks. Sometimes I'll see the SP's starting to rally and start buying some big NYSE names. All fine and good until the specialist...

1. I have personally found this to be a useful tool to guage floor sentiment. Just by hearing the volume levels on the floor, one can discern whether the market is hitting resistance or support. These high decibel levels determine the so-called "meat of the market." These become your pivot...

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. I consistently make money now. But sometimes my commissions are too high- sometimes $600-700 per day at .01/share- relative to my profits- $1500-2000 per day. I suppose it's so high since all I do is very short-term trading. As for slowly building size, Il now do scale...

this is my first post. I've only been trading equities for about a year, so I do not know what it was like before. I tend to make money 18 or 19 days out of 20 now. I try to do very conservative scale in/scale out trading, averaging about 60,000 shares per day. My commissions tend to be about...
