I agree, and so therefore, oil companies like XOM should be reporting record smashing profits next quarter because they are charging the same price for gas that they were when it cost them $65 a barrel. But now they are getting it for $51 (as of today) so their margins are now enormous.

Anyone?....anyone?.......Bueller.....Bueller.......

Does anyone know of a free resource to get analyst estimates of comparable same store sales data for upcoming months, like say January's estimates? Yahoo finance does not seem to have the upcoming estimates. I can't find it on Tradestation either.

I don't think he has ever actually used it; he just claims that he thinks it is available to him if he wants it. I just wondered if anyone alse has heard of a broker allowing 10:1 leverage for stocks.

This might sound crazy, but I have a friend who claims that Smith Barney extends him 10x leverage on his equities account as long as he does not keep his positions open over the weekend. Does this sound right to anyone else? What is the highest possible amount of borrow you can get...

that's a pretty serious set up mymini! Everyone I know who has a bloomberg has some hardware associated with so that's why I thought it was required. I believe that they have the terminal, a special PC and a bloomberg keyboard. Do you just have a soft data feed? I bet Doom 3 would look...

do you know how to do that and if so what does that entail?

How about the prices for all of those if you know them? I trade currencies but not foreign stocks or indices if that's what you had in mind as far as global products mymini. I met a trader who used a reuters feed for currency trading and he said it was fantastic so I'm curious as to what...

Does anyone here know how much a reuters data feed costs per month? Is there any hardware associated with it like a Bloomberg? If you do have one, how do you like it, and how would you rate it compared to other data feeds? Does it help your trading? Just curious and looking for some...

Does anyone who works on the street or for an investment bank know how a retail analyst actually comes up with their estimate of same store sales or eps? I have a friend who owns a hedge fund and according to him all the analyst does is speak to management and attempt to gauge from their...

Yeah that’s not good. It’s interesting that you mention their margin system because they advertise on their site that they do indeed have a delta and vega based margin system and that it is new. It seems to be in effect in the demo I am using, so I just wonder riskarb, how long ago you...

riskarb, thanks very much. I was wondering why you thought SaxoBank is a joke? I was looking at them and trying their demo. They seemed ok and a friend of mine uses them but I don't think for options. Did you have a bad experience with them?

Are you sure that globex options are the same as vanillas? I must admit that since I have never traded forex options, I don't even know what, if any, exchange they are traded on. I have traded CME futures options but I trade pit contracts because the globex contracts have very poor liquidity...

I own SIRI @ 6.10 and I doubt that it will see that price any time soon. I liked their model and management. My father used to work with Mel Karmazin and he is a savey businessman and a smart guy which was initially what attracted me to the company. I do think that they overpaid for Stern and...

Can anyone recomend a good broker that offers vanillas for forex? I can't seem to find a good one. If they have exotics, that would be nice too but I am primarily concerned with vanillas.

Yes this much I had deduced, but who might it be? Even before it was popular or trendy to trade news releases on the forex, people were doing it. If you look back historically years ago before retail forex trading was mainstream, news caused spikes in price in the direction of positive or...

Most of us retail forex investors trade with companies like Oanda or FXDD or whomever, and these companies trade against us as opposed to counterparty trading. It is said that when they take your opposing trade, they themselves hedge to protect against loss (at least on large trades anyway) and...

pqt, do they pay interest for positive carry? if so, do they pay at all leverage choices like 400:1 because most brokers won't pay interest past 200:1? How's their execution around news in your experience? I haven't exactly read glowing reviews about that, like that they suspend trading...

delta1, which forex brokers do you know that charge commission instead of a spread? I didn't know that anyone offered that for forex.
