Sorry I didn't catch this post earlier. I also was having problem with some of my real time quotes stalling out between October 14 and October 16. This was unusual for me. I don't usually have any problems unless, for instance, TD Ameritrade takes their server down temporarily -- in which...

I downloaded the zippy website file to my windows 7 computer. I extracted the files into my quotetracker directory. Now, the only thing that works are the dj nasq, and s&p quote tickers. My watchlist is stuck i.e. not receiving the streaming quotes.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested to you that you just do everything through collective2. com. Your only cost will be about $200/yr and you can set up an account with them that will only allow your friends and family to participate. You'll have a legitimate sole-proprietorship business...

Is there anyone who can explain to me what his traders were up to on the floor below him? Were they not generating any money for his firm? I wonder what percentage of the money Madoff deposited in bank accounts were given to the traders to trade with? Were they so bad at trading that...

For account over $25000: BP = ACCOUNT VALUE x 4 For account under $25000 BP = ACCOUNT VALUE x 2 In your example of having a $50000 account value, you would have $200000 of buying power. This simply means you are able to purchase 4 times the number of shares as the broker is loaning...

Yes. I know what stagflation is. I lived thru it. Again, my question is concerning a depression. How do you have inflation in a depression? I didn't ask, how do you have inflation in a recession? Got it now?

What are the chances of another depression? Well what are the chances that we won't get the banks lending again? They are the sole reason right now that more and more jobs are being lost everyday. We won't be able to stop the bleeding if the banks don't get off their you know whats...

Plain and Simple. If you want to crash the financials of every discount broker out there then pass this bill. The only discount broker that will remain standing is probably IB. Tons of daily transaction will come to a halt and so good buy Ameritrade, Etrade, Schwab or whomever. Think...

We don't want people to save right now, we want them to spend. Not sure how you think individual savings will boost the ecomomy currently. If you are saying this will enable banks to lend to the private sector so that they can create jobs, why would the private sector even want the capital for...

Sure. Good luck in your search.

I don't know. Higher tarriffs on imports maybe? So, Walmart and others will start to find it cheaper to get their supplies from more American manufacturer? I don't know, just a thought...hmmm

No, the truth and most of you don't know it.

I don't know. Maybe they should learn how to print more of their own currency to get it into the hands of their own consumers so that they can buy more of their own goods and services in their own country just like I am suggesting that we do for ourselves. I'm not saying this should be a...

That's because they didn't use a market order. Most likely they used a limit order. But, this is a fair analogy I think. In the case of the economy, the stimulus would have the effect of the limit order if the workers use most of their earnings to pay down on their debts instead of using most...

No, it's not debt to the worker receiving the funds. It's spendable cash. It is debt to the government which can sustain the load (or carry us until we get back on our feet). All the fed has to do is keep printing money that can get into the hands of the consumers. And after the economy...

I disagree risktaker. Without money you cannot create demand. If demand is waning then more jobs will be lost. More money is exactly what the economy needs. More money in the hands of those who will spend it more on goods and services rather than paying down their debts with it, that is...

Instead of congress whining like they did when the Tarp funds were used to buy preferred stock in banks that still refused to lend, why couldn't they just demand that an ultimatum be given to the banks that the government would began to liquidate their preferred ownership if the banks didn't get...

Initially, your post sounded like you were looking for people on this site who already knew how to trade well. Then, as I read further, you were saying that you wanted to train them to trade like your Patty person. If you are looking for traders who already know how to trade well, I don't think...

The Stimulus will succeed because the government will be creating jobs that would put spending money in the hands of those who take those jobs. This in turn will enable these workers to spend what they've earned on goods and services also known as boosting demand in the economy. This boost in...
