We need a high speed rail system in this country for safer travel. This system should run parallel with the interstate system. Instead of wasting the billions dumping it into failed companies, it should be used for this purpose.

When the price of gas spirals up to $5 dollars a gallon we'll revisit this thread and see what you have to say then. And if you haven't noticed, the price of gas and oil has been moving with the stock market the past couple years as if there is some correlation.

Once I developed a solid strategy the hardest thing was to find the right instrument to trade.

You just can't stand it when you're wrong can you?

Here's an article about electricity deregulation and what can happen: http://www.newsbatch.com/electric.htm We could study other countries and their methods of dealing with this since our greedy capitalist corporations will gauge as much as they can. The reason why deregulation works in...

When I first started looking for a prop firm to trade at I went to a couple Assent offices and talked to the managers. They both told me their new traders started at .007 per share, plus ecn fees, plus a data and software charge. So that being considered I don't think my .008 all in right now is...

Do you want to know why your electricity bills are at reasonable levels? How about your water bills? Your land line phones? It's because they are price controlled by your state Public Utility Commission. If they weren't the corps would be gauging those costs for you as well. Think before you...

Why? So the oil corporations can run the price of gas up as will? You're clueless. It would be the best thing for this country.

Playing in the mud :)

I tried not to laugh but couldn't help it... It was funny.

Boy, you ripped on him pretty good there.

The squak box I was using was like and auctioneer quoting bids and asks all day with some commentary about who is buying or selling. When he yells Merrill's Buying Merrill's Buying doesn't mean the price will go up much. It became too much of a distraction. Another thing I noticed was that if...

I used the Squak Box a while back and I found it to be more of a distraction from watching the charts. You can't trade off the pit noise. If they allowed a video of the pit along with the audio then that could be valuable.

I know you traders who trade the millions and billions of shares per day get the best rates available. How about the average prop trader who does discretionary trading and not trying to be market makers. I'd like to hear from some of them. For example someone who has been trading for 6 to 12...

Well said. The greedy capitalist pigs will now enter this thread and try to destroy it. It's like they try their hardest to muffle any opposition to their view.

I think the way it works is when the stocks that make up the SP500 don't have any significant orders to push them, the mm's keep an eye on the futures and push the stock prices along with it. Since the cash index shadows the underlying stocks it will move in the direction they move. It all...

Don't forget to include any charges you have taken out of the funds on a regular monthly basis such as data and software fees. All those charges add up and take a chunk from the profits.
