Not sure how I would classify myself. Or used to classify myself at this point. Believe me, nothing about this will ever be anecdotal for me. I have other issues with all this, mostly health related. Dont really want to go into all the details but I'm pretty much homebound and trading was...

Well guess it's time to stand up and raise my hand and say, "here I am, was totally blown out on may 6". Not 100% sure why I'm even doing this but it just seems hardly anyone has owned up to any large loses. Either its embarrassment or just still cant even talk about that moment yet without...

It doesn't matter what any of us say or do this this obscene levitatation just keeps going and going like some sadistic energizer bunny. We all know it will end. Hell, even the bulls know this has gotten beyond insanity but they just keep manipulating this nonsense higher and higher. The...

Neke, STOP TRADING You're in a death spiral. Look at your equity chart objectivley and then pull up a stock chart that looks like that. A slow grind down like that usually ends with a fast dive of a cliff where it loses half its value. Remember a chart is a chart. It's summer, the markets...

I've been having a strange problem lately with IB charts and backfill. On some symbols, (DIA, SMH, UYM) when I try to open a chart in IB, it says "NO MARKET DATA PERMISSIONS FOR ARCA STK" what the heck does that mean? I'm receiving quotes for it with no problem in the tws but it wont open a...

Its funny, I dont even react to anything under 300 anymore. It seems to make five 150+ point pulses a day. Usually in a span of 30 minutes.

Why do you care enough to even start this thread? He's a flake. those aren't predictions, they are just meant to iritate people and get a response.

any good backfill sources someone can recommend?

Anyone else having issues with backfill using IB and quotetrakker? Last few days, it either takes forever or wont do it at all.

This is the part that makes me want to rip my hair out. I wouldnt put it past those low-lifes of slamming their own stock a day before options expiration and picking up cheap options. All the time knowing what Paulson was up to. Do you even comprehend the billions they could have made in a day?

this will most liklely get me flamed but I would rather see them just shut the whole market down for 2 weeks then this insanity of banning such a vital market function as short selling. I know I'm not touching my trading account until this gets sorted out.

At this point, I wouldnt buy or short anything. Just way too much nonsense going on right now.

The whole world has gone nuts. All for a lousy 20% correction. Just unreal.

If Merril goes under, THAT will mark the ultimate bottom of this whole mess. Then again if goldman goes under fuck money and trading, grab your guns and head for the hills.

I agree. It just seems like the entire financial system is one giant house of cards and we are pulling out one card at a time trying not to topple the whole giant mess. What card is next? what will finally bring this all down? It's just downright scary out there. I'm just amazed the market...

Well I guess by that definition non of us are investors since we dont buy companies and make them profitable. I really think you need to get your thoughts in order.

That has got to be about the dumbest things I've read here. I'm pretty sure even Warren Buffet would argue that point. I think we all would agree he's been a mildly succesful INVESTOR over the years. :p

I'm so sick of idiots blaming shorts for what has been going on in financials. The shorts didnt give every joe dick head a 500K mortgage to buy a 200k house. I really wish all these fiancials who are the cause of the ridiculous housing runup and consequent collapse go bankrupt and take their...

Let me answer you this way. What exactly would be wrong if this economy doesnt expand, grow or produce jobs for a year or two. Maybe its a harsh thing to say, but maybe we need some pain. They're called recessions, maybe you've heard of them?we've had plenty of them in the past before the...

Please tell me you didn't just point to the +.4% consumer spending figure as some sort of positive. Lets raise the prices on gas and food some more and we can have +8% next month. Will that mean the consumer is healthy and out splurging? You and I will probably never agree but lets not act...
