    North Korea conducts powerful nuclear test

    I think it was done today as it is memorial day and it is a way to show support for their dead, in a very off color way. The real problem is soon it will be to late. If the world wanted to stop NK they could have years ago while North Korea was just an army foot threat. The world is...

    What IB means by "look ahead available funds"?

    My understanding is that "look ahead available funds" are the funds available for trading when the margin changes from overnight back. If you watch the account window from 9 o'clock until 930 you will see the look ahead becomes available funds for the current trading day.

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    You are probably right. I wonder if he could enter into leases with the cars with all of the locals. Personally finance the cars through his dealership for a one year period while he got his lawyers to try and place an injuction on the sale or closure of his business? At least he will get...

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    I can't believe a lot of you guys. This guy did NOTHING wrong. He invested in a business 35 years ago and made a good living obviously to have stayed in business. All of the big 3 where doing fine then or at least we did not hear contrary. Hell landing on the moon was still a big thing...

    GM $1 puts

    It limits the ability to drive the price down and be profitable. It also stops you from being able to hedge yourself without selling calls which if assigned will assist in providing the market with a short squeeze

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    If there was any way possible for him to sell his cars I would discount them to cash and take what ever I could get for them after all if I am going to be forced into bankruptcy I might as well go out with a bang. I don't no any body who would not buy a new car that was listed for 25-30...

    Obama And The New Auto Regulations

    Being short or occassionally taking a short position does not mean you are not patriotic it just means you are playing both sides of the market. There obviously comes a time where a stock has just run up to far to be long. When I am short a positon it has nothing to do with me wanting the...

    Geither's feeling it

    I just heard on Bloomberg that GM will still have an 80 billion dollar debt that the tax payers didn't know about. Tim just run us around in circles, using words like checks and balances, same concerns, I agree when he just said he knew that the banks were told not to lend and hold onto the...

    Fidelity Says ‘All Things in Place’ for Bull Market

    I was taught that when every thing, every where says up and no matter what news comes out, we still go up the market is about to do the opposite. The fact that Obama, Federal Reserve, Banks are driving up the markets world wide with stimulus money, creative accounting practices the whole...

    Dendreon (DNDN) Tuesday. Cure for Cancer? Does stock go to $0, or $75 after Tues.?

    All the reports out are saying even if the FDA approves dndn the whole process of approval and patients being able to receive the medicine is over one year away. Dndn could still see drops like yesterday several more times. I am taking my profits and waiting for a drop back into the 12...

    Warning: Don't trust IB's TWS Portfolio page or Trades Report for positions

    I am having an IB glitch this morning. I had several overnight positons and placed working exit orders. When I looked this morning the orders had been cancelled or I thought they were as they were not on my working page. One of the trades was showing a profit so I exited and then the...

    The Uptick Rule - Your Thoughts

    what bothers me is that the bid offers will always be much larger than the ask. I have already noticed it is becoming a lot harder to exit a short position compared to a long position. the MM only has to have 100 shares available and I have notice I am getting a lot more part fills on stocks...

    Obama wants the ability to shut down the internet at will

    Limit Lock Down. He already does. One phone call to the Banks that received money from Tarp and the hype is validated. Did anyone really believe things would be different?

    Crocs...

    I don't think you understand sir, I could care less if the company is a fad or not. My point is that companies like City Bank, Crox is still a good trade, if not for any reason the short interest. Making 2 or 3 thousand dollars every couple of days on a dollar stock should not be sneezed at...

    Crocs...

    Crox may have been a fad but I'm betting it tests the 10 dollar area first before its fate is known. Crox like City Bank and many others have a hugh short interest and that can never be discounted and usually offers a better than normal percent move in the market . I have made good money on...

    Market Making in Canada

    You might want to look up Swift Traders as it is my understanding they trade in a similiar pattern to market makers. There are also several firms who are Market Markers located at the bottom of Yonge St. and Front area in Toronto. An easier way might be to ask your Bank Manager.

    How often does this happen with IB?

    It may be the exchanges issues but why did it take so long to get the bulletin notice? By the bulletin time almost 45 minutes pasted. It is my understanding we have only a few minutes to report a problem other wise we are out of luck but the exchange and or IB take 45 minutes, that is not...
