Yes, sorry for being unclear.
Futures in ThinkorSwim. And if you use the paper trading side of the software - you can trade the futures and get a paper margin call.
I added some Q cally thingies.

I'm in comcast internet hell today. I escaped from att internet hell two months ago. It's like swimming from an island of head hunters and ending up on an island of cannibals. GS - chart.ly/358nqyJust needs a reasonable market and it will go, imo.Tight range again today. The last two days of the month have been weak 10/11 times. Month end is Friday. AT&T home internet is the gift that keeps on giving (headaches that is). |

Coffee riping too. Play via DBA. I don't know a better way.
Getting high tick here: +1100. S1 has been holding. More consolidation of gains. Bears, need to get Zero Hedge out of the backfield; Prechter is on the bench waiting to come in. Rosenberg's been open downfield all day. Put the ball in the air.

You know it's funny, I have AT&T internet and phone, formerly Bellsouth. Well - the phone line goes out twice a year. I always go through the runaround with support that it's not in the house. Look at my call history you putz. EVERY TIME it has been your fault.
What's weird is the DSL side has stayed up.
When Wilma hit, I sent my Dad the ip to my home surveillance system so he could watch the storm. When we woke up, the power was out, we went on generator. DSL was still up, but hard phone line was down. Crazy as it was, I saw my Dad log on and went out and held up a sign in front of the camera outside the front door 'We're Ok!"

Either the Nas or the Dow has to ultimately move into parity here.

Jack, you should see a graphic T and F right before 'Logged'
If not, something in your browser or firewall or something (maybe just clear cache and temp files will do it) is blocking the images.

For 5year notes, 3.06 B/C ratio is fairly decent - good reception.
I think Rick Santelli would probably give it a solid B.

The 5yr is generally successful I believe: NOTE TO SELF: Remember to buy something before the hour on the 5yr Auction day...and sell shortly thereafter (lol). |

Beige Book 411: seekingalpha.com/article/216951-which-way-wednesday-beige-book-boost-or-bust"...and no one has even mentioned what a disaster this is during summer driving season (speculators are circling their tankers one more time as they pray for hurricanes to make their long bets pay off). If we do survive the BBook this afternoon, we have a 10% upgrade to Q2 GDP to look forward to tomorrow morning (to 3% from 2.7%) along with Chicago PMI at 9:45." lmao!!! |

iwm 60' ma cross this hour, that's it for awhile if we are to hold these levels and rally, otw, going for the 50 would require such a price drop it would be hard to think the rally still in play.
