    Average ObamaCare price: $328 per month.

    Don't forget the bevy of new taxes added to the monthly premium. Got a letter from my insurance company explaining ACA and on the last page they mentioned the new taxes due to ACA: Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute tax (PCORI): $2 per member per year Health Insurer Tax...

    Options trading approval at Ameritrade

    I think #10 is your problem. Most regular folks would probably write covered calls for "income" using options and you only need level one. Change #10 to Speculation. That way if you blow out the account on a lotto type option (buying a way out of the money call like the FB August 35...

    Was trade execution illegal or just unethical?

    Sounds like you placed a stop loss order. The spread was probably a little wider that morning and your order price was hit and then executed as a market order.

    What is RICH?

    RICH is having excellent health. No amount of money is going to help you if your health is failing... Having a good exercise routine before/after the trading day is a good way to keep your body and mind in excellent shape for the next trading day.

    Las Vegas 2 bedrooms won't sell at 25k

    The price might be super low because you cannot rent out the unit. Some existing condo complexes are FHA, Fannie, Freddie loan approved provided that a minimum of 50% of the units are owner occupied. This is to reduce the loan risk to these agencies. It could very well be that the complex...

    Steve Jobs does not look good

    It looks like the image has been photoshopped. Take a close look at the neck area and his left eyeglass area... In addition, it appears that the garment "Steve" is wearing is a black dress. Could this have originally been a photo of an elderly woman and "Steves" head got pasted on???

    A vertical call debit spread triggers a margin call. Does that shound right?

    The OP has finally confirmed his account was liquidated by IB by writing a negative review of the firm. (See review on ET homepage under Broker reviews) The OP must have violated an IB in-house rule to get his account auto-liquidated. I'm still curious why the OP will not give any details...

    If that's the case, then the OP is out of luck.

    USPS needs a bailout too!!!!!!!

    Back to the topic on hand. The most interesting idea I heard is to reduce mail delivery to twice a week. There would be 3 categories, Monday and Thursday delivery, Tuesday and Friday delivery and finally Wednesday and Saturday delivery. You could then fire about 66% of the letter carriers...
