What more is there to say: `Publisher' actually is completely deranged, and a cowardly scum-sucking little Jew hater. He spends his whole life anonymously posting Nazi and KKK propaganda re-treads on a trading website. He rails against phantasms and visions with which he has filled his slimy...

Is it that `Publisher' is embarrassed by what the great man actually had to say? Or is `Publisher' aka WAKE-UP aka PLATO2 - his ET-names are legion - simply an illiterate? Or, just possibly, is he an intellectually sloppy moron who's never bothered with reading the actual words of his...

True: a bunch of totally unoriginal ersatz Nazi wannabees, such as `Publisher', are the only potential leaders of this ridiculous bunch these days. They're no threat to anyone at all in the US. How the mighty have fallen. But that is absolutely wrong. A disturbing lack of vision and...

Sieg Heil!

The 1913 trial of Leo Frank in Atlanta was a travesty of justice. The man, a wealthy factory owner, who mistreated his employees to exactly the extent that was customary in the times, and as far as one can tell no more than that, was found guilty of the murder of one of them, young Mary...

Yup. It's definitely one data point. And I also think it would be really interesting to see more definitive studies on the question. It would be great to know, for example, how results varied with account size, trading style, and time period. It seems like it ought to be possible to...

Fanzig Thanks for that, I gotcha now. As you can tell, I don't actually trade sub $1.00 stocks all that often. But the 0.2% cap did, formerly, make IB look attractive for that purpose. Eating too much pie can also make one grow fat :p

I'm failing to understand the example of the problematic arbitrageur given above. If I am reading this link correctly: the NASDAQ fee schedule already provides no liquidity rebates for shares executed below $1.00...

This was published in 1999, but the accounts analysed were traded during 1997 to 1998. They were all at one firm. There's no information about initial capitalisation. It's equities trading, not commodities. The important information seems to be on pages 52/53 of the pdf. If I'm reading it...

It looks like they were trying to fluster you. Sounds like you didn't do too badly to me. Whatever happens try to keep a positive mental attitude. This particular mental multiplication is really not that hard, but you need to have practiced in advance. The major trick in doing mental math...

I realize that it's not pleasant for anyone to be proven wrong, but I'm going to give you a piece of advice. It's much better to be man enough to admit it when it happens than to attempt to smear your opponents in argument by insinuating, with no basis whatsoever, that they must have...

Sorry cgtrader, just saw this. It's been a few years since I talked with the Calgary firm. I tried, but I can't remember the name. The reason I was looking into it was that my father had inherited some money from his father when he died, some of which was left sitting in a Canadian bank...

http://canadagazette.gc.ca/partIII/2005/g3-02804.pdf For people who don't know what the Canada Gazette is, I'll quote from the introduction. Go to Chapter 32 of this pdf of Part III of the Canada Gazette, published from Ottawa, Monday, September 19, 2005. Find page 252 of the pdf...

Sorry, but argument doesn't work that way. It was your assertion that prostitution with 14 year olds is legal in Canada: It's now your assertion that there have never been arrests of the kind that you describe, so it's you who needs to produce the arrest records for all of Canada, for...

So far as I know there's no particular legal impediment to a US citizen buying and selling Canadian stocks on TSE and TSX Venture directly through a US broker. There's more than one that does it. Some Canadian stocks also are listed on NYSE. I think a US citizen is legally free to ask...

Thanks, but no thanks: too busy with my hydroponic farms. Got a nice setup in Vancouver. Tomatoes only, natch, but really first class :p

In studying Canadian criminal law it's actually necessary also to consider Federal and Provincial parliamentary legislation that may have amended the Criminal Code. In relation to prostitution and child prostitution, it appears that several pieces of federal legislation have been passed...

That's questionable. Prostitution, per se, is not illegal in Canada, but many activities associated with it are illegal. Also, under some circumstances, consensual sex with 14 year olds is legal. However, people from age 14 to age 18 are considered to be young people under the Canadian...

Some futures contracts are settled by physical delivery of the underlying, and that can become possible before the actual expiration date for the contract. If you are trading futures as a speculator (as opposed to as a legitimate hedger), then brokers (in my experience) require that, if you...

This seems to be a troll. What I find amusing is that the fellow says that he wants to be a professor of finance, claims expertise sufficient to have made it into some PhD program, and is completely undisturbed by all of the by now well-analysed data that tends to contradict his...
