    Clear Channel vs. Howard Stern

    Here is another little item that may be driving Clear Channel. If Stern is removed from the airwaves, he may head to Satellite. I don't believe Infiniti has a large stake in satallite radio. Clear Channel owns something along the lines of a 30% stake in XM Satallite Radio....... If CC can...

    Clear Channel vs. Howard Stern

    Howard has been doing the same show over and over again for 20 years. Roughly the same cast of characters. Somehow, the show is in jeopardy because of something a listener said over the airwaves, the blasted "N" word in particular. Howard really receives no credit for policing his own show...

    Def - Debit spreads in IRA's at IB

    Def, I just tried to sell the short legs of a spread and got this message: "This account may not hold short stock or naked short call positions." Maybe the programmers haven't caught up yet. Regards, Cracked

    How long before funds become available @ I.B.?

    If you are a non-margin account, it's likely trade date +3 before the funds are avaiable for trading. If you are a margin account, it should be available on the spot. Best to ask IB. Later, Cracked

    Def - Debit spreads in IRA's at IB

    I know that Option Express allows spreads and cash secured put writing in an IRA. Are you sure it's regulatory and not an internal managament decision. Is there an area on the IB site that I could present a suggestion that wouldn't end up in the circular file. I really like IB, and would...

    Def - Debit spreads in IRA's at IB

    Def, Was wondering if IB would consider allowing debit spreads in IRA accounts anytime soon or even cash secured credit spreads. I just transferred serious funds and those are some of my favorite strategies to use in my retirement accounts. We can trade futures but not debit or credit...

    Opinion about Investrade.com

    I've had an account with them for a few years and refuse to trade any type of volume through them. Some of the worst executions I've ever had. I still have some holdings with them only because I've been too lazy to transfer the stuff and it doens't cost anything to stay with them. Trade...

    Futures trading with IB & eSignal question.

    Maybe you could direct this question to an E-signal customer rep for a better/definitive answer than the folks here on Elite. Just a suggestion to get info "straight form the horses mouth." Later, Cracked

    That woman from Europe on CNBC

    Can CNBC not find someone more pleasing to the eye than the woman named Silvia or something. I'm sure she's a fine person, but, she's got a look for Radio if you know what I mean.

    Which is the best tax software?

    The C-Dilla/registration stuff has been removed from TT this year after the outcry from consumers last year. And to correct a statement regarding who is responsible for an individuals tax return...... it's the TAXPAYER, not the preparer. You sign your return. If you can prove negligence by...

    Medved Quotetracker or Sierra

    I think that is the push pin feature at the top of each chart. You can link all the charts if that feature is activated. When you go to the list of stocks/futures followed, the cursor looks like a pushpin when hovered over the name. Click on the stock name, changes all the charts to that...

    Look what's popular on E-bay now!

    I picture the fat lady, holding the kid, smoking in the Aerosmith video doing the phone sex thing. Not getting what you paid for when you see the commercials. Gotta be pretty sad to bid for an imaginary girlfriend. Hooking without the sex. Now don't any of you bid on the blondie...

    Golf Players question for ya

    I enjoy my Integra Sooo Long 450 10.5* on an Aldila One Stiff Mid Launch Shaft, known as the "Blue Mailbox on a Stick". It's the COR legal one. Agree with AAA, the shaft is the ticket. I have a couple of Callaway GBB's (ebay specials) with varying shafts (some those ugly UST's, :) ) and...

    Car racing enthusiasts

    Did a bit of Drag Racing myself for a while in my 20's. Mostly bracket stuff 9.90 index for the 1/4 mile. Later, I got into motorcycle road racing. Did pretty well at it. Placed second in a national championship one year in the early 90's. Too many concussions finished that escapade...

    IB needs these products:

    An ACH transfer is not a Wire Transfer as far as I know. I use B of A and just transferred a sum of money out of my account using an ACH transfer and wasn't charged a fee. ACH transfers are similar to a direct payroll deposit in your account. BofA has charged me for wire transfer fees...

    USC National Champions!

    The coaches don't watch the majority of games during the year. sc got to #1 because they lost first, end of story. If LSU had lost the week before sc, they would be #1 today. Just because you lost first doesn't make you better than the other one loss teams. Enjoy the AP title if you in...
