    Cant break in this business

    What year did you graduate? EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you're a freshman in college. If I could do it all over again, I think I would major in computer programming and minor in finance or economics. Or vice versa. In the case of the former, you'll always have an alternative skill to...

    Making Mad Money with Jim Cramer

    A ten second recap of his calls for the week is hardly the definition of accountability. Since his show is available to anyone with higher than basic cable, a honest player would have a accompanying website that details the performance of his stock picks. What I want to know is if there...

    Making Mad Money with Jim Cramer

    Cramer is your typical guru. His bad calls get flushed down the memory hole while he takes every opportunity to champion his good calls. Give a monkey a dart and a stock table and the opportunity at three tosses per day, without having to set a profit / loss stop on the stocks where the...

    NQ -- Friday Settlement...

    What is up with the NQ quoted as +4 @ 1615.50 ? I have Friday's settlement @ 1615.5; making the NQ flat @ 1615.5. When and why was it "repriced" ?

    CNBC - Cramer's Mad Money

    WTF? Cramer has been touting GOOG for the longest time and, arguably, the most important data set in a quarter arrives and he won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. Watching him smash the phone against the desk in response to GOOG's conference call -- as a facsimile of "what he would do at his...

    Here is why it is Impossible to Stop a Clever Terrorist Attack

    I keep reading and hearing this: "Bombings said to have 'hallmarks of al-Qaida-related attack'" Yet two or three years ago all the talking heads and "experts" were telling us that al-Qaida is all about increasing the "spectacle" of its attacks. That is, they are interested in...

    Here is why it is Impossible to Stop a Clever Terrorist Attack

    Of course the bombs will be immediately pinned on Islamic Fundamentalists; as, when all is said and done, this latest terrorist attack will provide major political fodder to those pushing our illusory and (Orwellian) perpetual "War on Terror". People have such BAD memories, it often...

    WTF-Crude Fell from 62.20 to 57.38 in one hour

    Short Oil... 61.15 bid, 61.225. I am already short QM from last night at 61.50; or I would use this mark-up as a entry point short. The energy complex is being manipulated for the purposes of marginally increasing the amount of money that flows into the Middle East-- as a means to...

    who is bidding up the futures?

    My data indicates the last -4% or more down day occurred on 9/3/2002, 716 trading days ago. The lack of larger than average moves, however, should not be too surprising given the extended period of volatility in the market between 1996ish and 2003 and the need to correct for it by entering...

    Margin Call on an IB IRA account (Need Suggestions)

    Keyword: "may", as in "may immediately liquidate". But the "customer agreement" is no more than IB just covering it's azz. Customer agreement is what it is, a customer agreement. Doesn't mean it is binding when viewed thru the lense of legal precedent or regulatory trends. Net-net; the...
