They will just open a big can of worms.
They are saying this because they want to stabilized the temporary shorting of Freddie and Fannie earlier this week. | I somehow figured that too, although I did not expect it to say the opposite after 2 days.
Good job at restoring investor confidence SEC

I am glad that Gold bounce back from $952 earlier this morning.
GG did pretty good, at least I expected a down day for GG. That kept my winning streak going.

man, after reading and doing some research, margin accounts are the only way to go.
i love the danger associated with it. playing on the edge is awsome.
i gotta do a little more homework before i open a margin account for forex and commodities.

I hope it will happen so I can finally buy a satallite radio which has ALL the XM and Sirius channels in one.

Yea.. gonna get some Apple very shortly. Usually Apple sells off in July-August timeframe and rebound nicely during September-December timeframe.
Bad earning by American Express... they will drag down Mastercard and Visa too.
Good thing I took my profit last week when it hits $290.

Good thing I took my profit last week when it hits $290. | My take on AAPL is, dont move unless Jobs's health condition is clear. If there is one company that needs its leader bad, it's AAPL.
A rumor of him being sick can sink AAPL by 10%.
I might pick something up at 140 give or take, and yes, I am greedy. . In all fairness, AAPL did great the past quarter, the next quarter is just gonna get better with Iphone added to the mix (older gen Iphone sold out shortly into the past quarter. Performance driven by Mac and Ipod). AAPL is known for conservative outlooks, so I am not too concerned with it.

haha, well i've been studying with a commodities broker and forex broker for the past month or so.
today i finally decided to dip my toes in the water...
i made 800USD trading crude oil and nasdaq.... of course with play money 
i'm pretty sure in a few more weeks of doing this I'll put down real money.
of course, i coulda easily lost just as much. we'll just have to see how well my method works, and how much discipline i have.
how long did u guys play the markets with fake money until you used real money?
i'm trying not to use real money till im confident in my method. i figure if i have one doubt about my method, i'm just gonna end up gambling instead of "trading"

Future is no longer a risk hedging tool, but a speculative tool. Even with the best method you can find, you will only increase the chance of you being right and if some crazy asshole with deep enough pocket decides to go the other way, puff you do.
Write down a REALISTIC range of win/loss that you are comfortable (we all want to fuck 20 times in 1 night, but come on) with and stick to it like your dick depends on it, and don't let your greed get to you, bet on what you are 90% sure of.
Best of luck man

^ haha very good post.
Ulic, I got very lucky when I started out but I ended up losing a lot after getting my feet wet. Now I am the comeback kid lol. I would paper trade for a least another month or more. I know you are hungry but don't get too excited because your emotions will get the best of you. You have your whole life to trade so it's best you learn/ practice as much as you can before taking the leap and potentially losing your important capital.
You don't want to pay the markets too much tuition.

Curiously, Dimon's word of cautions is completely ignored and JPM is trying to break through 40, FNM trying for 12 but fell back to 10.8 without any underlying improvement. I believe the market is due for an adjustment from the short covering and speculation soon.
My portfolio leans towards crappy performance/pull back, but I am hoping for good news.
I am browsing futureshop.ca now and sipping on a bottle of delicious OJ | I have an extra $5000
Want to help me turn it into a shopping spree?  | |

Best of luck man | yeah man of course, i have a daily target range that is reasonable.
ok, a lotta people have been telling me some dude with deep pockets can make the market swing the other way, but if that's true, why doesnt the middle east control the oil markets then?
like drive the prices straight the fuck up into space. they have trillions of dollars, why can't they just corner the oil market? i'm sure they have enough money to.
like those dudes in the 70's from texas, forgot their names. them and some arabs and a buncha other rich dudes cornered the silver market.
