Thanks, Seth!

Is ZG closed today or do I just have the wrong exchange? I'm not seeing any quotes. I understand the ZG gold contract is moving (or has moved) from eCBOT to NYSE LIFFE. When does that happen? I see the NYMEX GC contract trading today -- that's a floor traded contract, right?

Well, assuming you don't have to use a security device, you could just put the IB Controller batch file in a Windows scheduled task to automatically log in.

The IRA is a separate entity and has a separate tax id number (TIN) than you do (your social security number) so there are no straddle issues from one to the other. Nor would there be wash sale issues. Gains and losses in your taxable account are taxable or deductible regardless of what you...

What's your question? The instructions that came with your K-1 should tell you what forms and lines you need to report the numbers on.

Well, the Nasdaq is 25% off its high, so it isn't unexpected that a risk-taking hedge fund might be down by a third. If your fund isn't advertised as low volatility I would think your investors would understand.

I'm not quite as worried as you. I think the Fed will reflate the asset bubble and there won't be quite the storm. But I think the reflation will hit the dollar even more and gold will continue to shine. You are probably bullish on gold as well, EMRGlobal?

Laugh. Yes, you can always go short in a declining market and keep up a positive attitude!

How was Feb. after these drops? That would be the interesting thing.

A good pairs trade requires correlated stocks. There are some good correlations between the many miners and energy companies on the TSX.

And Quadricep's fees are way too high. Mananagement and incentive fees I can understand, but a big chunk of the commission on trades is over the top.

Pshaw! That's nothing. The Nasdaq is in the 6th year of a drawdown and is still less than half of where it was.

What would cause you to sell, gharghur? Crude has notched another dollar lower today. Is crossing the 35 day ema on your chart significant?

Or maybe not. Hard to say. :( Is it time to sell or are we going back up? _______________ Wocka, wocka!

Can anyone point me to a list of preferred stocks?

I think you made that up. There's the old saw about a high percentage of day traders losing money. Did you assume it is true and then assume that people who execute FX trades online have the same profitability as day traders? Is that how you derived your statistic? Or did you reinvent the...
