Since when does "intelligence" equate to "civility"? History is rife with murderous geniuses. The Japanese are by and large acting civilly in this time of crisis because Japan is by and large a civil society. Would this happen in the US? Although we are by and large a somewhat civil society...

Can you elaborate on getting out of "their business"? Does that include not drawing any cartoons that may offend them or getting upset when they decapitate their spouses for wanting to divorce them?

Help me understand something: If we find nutcases like the Detroit underwear bomber or the would-be cartoonist killer out in the desert in a camp, training to kill us, we bomb the shit out of them. If we capture them AFTER THEY'VE TRIED TO KILL US, like the underwear bomber, we afford...

I think it's a very good product, and for the price it is just a killer deal. Not only that, the support is EXCELLENT. If you have an idea on a screen you want to create and aren't sure how to write it, just e-mail them and they usually respond within 24 hours. Excellent service, excellent...

Someone told me recently that odd-lot orders can be very expensive on ECNs, i.e. Arca. He added that an odd-lot is any order that is not done in 100 share blocks. Ergo, a 401-share order would be considered an "odd-lot" and all 401 of those shares would be charged a hefty fee. My...

Is it possible to find the address and phone number of a broker based on the partnership ID given on a K-1 Form or the broker's previous company name? Some backgound: A few years ago a couple and their friends put in about 10K each and gave the money to one of their friend's "hot" brokers...

C Rob, Can you do this in Echo Trader 2 or just EchoPro? If you can do it with ET 2, would you mind helping me out as well? It's not a huge deal for me; waiting a couple days for NetSheets is fine, but if it can be done, what the heck... Thanks, LL

Looking for a computer solely for e-mail, word processing, light net surfing and maybe a couple of games, not the newer graphics-intensive ones but old ones like solitaire, etc. This computer would NOT be for trading. This is for a senior-citizen relative, not me, and they're on a strict...

Thanks qazmax. I knew an ETer would come through! :)

I very rarely trade in the pre- or after-market, so I would appreciate assistance on this: I tried to sell a long position at what I thought was right before the close on ARCA, but I was off by a few seconds, the time went past 4:00, and it got rejected because the order expiration type was...

The Echo Instaquote platform is called Echo Trader 2. I use it because it offers stop orders on OTC issues, whereas Echo's premier platform, EchoPro, does not. It's a shame, too, because EchoPro's charts are MUCH better than ET 2's (although, to my knowledge, EchoPro charts do NOT show pre...
