    help me lose some bloody pounds

    There's no "safe" method for rapid weight loss. That formula breaks down for people who are only 20 lbs overweight and would result in loss of muscle. It's only for very obese people. A better formula is 12 Cal per lbs of LBM. That works for anyone-- male, female, very obese, slightly...

    Just received my IB Secure Device.. Here's how it works

    I got multiple emails saying "by next week the STP device will be mandatory for logging in" but usually the deadline would pass without anything happening. Finally, by the 3rd email, I started getting the challenge during logon. So, consider those emails bogus until it finally happens.

    Salary: Big 3 autoworker vs PhD college professor

    It looks like it's nearly time to renegotiate those UAW contracts, so you'll start seeing these propogandas from both sides. Soon we'll see a story about how UAW compensation is actually 2/3 of McDonalds fry cooks.

    Feedback on Optionshouse

    I suspect they lose money on commissions but they make it up elsewhere. I wouldnt be surprised if their credit interest rate is pitifully low.

    XEO vs OEX and PM

    I don't know what site you're looking at that suggests XEO has more call volume than OEX, because I see OEX has 3-5x the volume on the CBOE site.

    Home Price Corrections: Is Worse Yet To Come?

    There's always someone asking the same question you asked of expensive real estate markets. Ultimately the free market decides affordability, and by that measure, homes are always "affordable", even if you don't understand how someone can afford it.

    Cramer says welcome to 1995 all over again!!!!

    We're not at the beginning of a tech run... the nasdaq has doubled in 4 years. So this isn't 1995, more like 1998.

    I've asked him a couple of times for the free trial but still no reply, after almost a week. At this point, I say he's full of s***.

    Will my track record raise good money?

    If you're as good as that chart says, it won't take you long to reach $3M with your $900k. Why bother trying to raise money and (as you put it) explain to clients each time your NAV dropped by 2%? Just keep trading your own money.

    IB banking and funds calls

    This is just their silly policy that makes no sense to anyone with the slightest knowledge of security. It has been around to some degree for a while now, but they made it more official recently (they now warn you about making changes to your bank info -- in the past, you found out after the...

    what really makes money in real life?

    You need opportunity in order to make money, but some people wouldn't know opportunity if it hit them in the head. I believe everyone in their lifetimes will have multiple opportunities to become rich, but most people won't take advantage of them for whatever reason.

    what really makes money in real life?

    Professional sports is different because humans peak physically in their 20s, hence you have to start young because it takes many years of practice and hard work to reach a level of performance that places you in the elite. With non-athletic professions, such as trading, you can start...
