Baron could easily remove the reviews and just show the list. We can find reviews elsewhere

Whatever happened to the brokers/software list that was available when you clicked on the tabs on top of the page? Now its just a handful of brokers and ninja trader with esignal for software? Is there access to the previous full list? Did everybody go broke :eek:

March 9, 09. I was short es. For the first 15 minutes of the opening bell I was up 750 bucks. I took the profits. When the price started to reverse I shorted again, and again at the pivot point. I didn't even turn on the news to hear what was going on. I figured I double down when the...

Are you saying that the russians are running up gold prices by having fewer bank notes in the late 90's through 2010. Remember when oil was going to the moon in 2008? I heard it all back then that it was definitely going to 200. Well its been 4 years and still not even close. Same with gold...

How long do you think bernake is going to keep rates low? if the economy picks up and we manage to get under 7 percent unemployment, I'm pretty sure he'll start raising rates. Its not going to happen tomorrow, but neither is gold at 3000

Thank you Bob, I may just get the yahoo subscription with a an IB pro account, minus the market data. For reasons I can't disclose here I can't have the account under my name at the current moment. I could always open a individual account under someone elses name, but that usually leads to...

IB only charges 10 for non professionals. Why am I considered a professional just because I am operating under a business name?

I want to get back into trading. Going to start with 5-10k, and just position trade for a while. I may not even trade for a few months at a time. More like just investing. Spoke with a rep with IB but they charge way too much (I think) for market data if I want to trade under a business...
