    You guys who do VOLUME, why so much?

    I agree with Mogul. Your argument does not make sense. In fact, traders who trade volume get better deals and pay less per share, especially those that pay on a per trade basis.

    Looking for another broker after Freetrade closes.

    Don't assume everyone is so cynical. What does Steve really have to gain by lying?

    Good trade simulators??

    I have used the simulators from Ffasttrade for futures, and Prophettrader for stocks. Both pretty good, but don't expect fills to be nearly as good. Good luck.

    Looking for a brokerage to park money

    I am lucky enough to have a fairly large balance, and I am looking for a stock brokerage to park my money. I trade futures primarily now and I don't need to keep a large balance in that account because my broker gives me a lot of leverage. I would prefer to have my money earn interest, and wire...

    K1s and taxes...

    Jwishcamper Do most prop firms report losses on K-1's to their traders? It was my understanding that most keep the losses for themselves, so that the trader does not get to deduct losses. I may be mistaken. On a related subject, how are losses handled when the prop trader is treated like...

    New Pc Needed

    Thanks for the comparison (and the sarcasm). I have no interest in the link I posted. I will probably get my next computer from Cyberpower unless I hear anything that changes my mind.

    Where do the larger futures traders execute and clear these days?

    I recommend getting a broker that offers X-trader like Pioneer, Advanced, or Velocity. It is a cheaper for high volume traders. I would also consider FFastrade's platform or J-trader as a backup.

    Setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust to avoid paying taxes

    I heard from a friend that I should set up a corporation and a Charitable Remainder Trust to avoid paying taxes on my capital gains. I believe the idea is that the beneficiaries could get the capital gains tax free, and the remainder would go to the charity upon death. Those with high returns...

    Laptop battery life

    My laptop is plugged in most of the time. I recently used it without the power chord and dicovered that the battery life has been cut in half. I had it for maybe 2 years, and it has a Li Ion battery. I was wondering if there is any way I can extend the battery life on my new laptop, or is...

    Is it worth it to pony up $200 more for a Pentinum4 laptop instead of an AMD?

    Aren't the p4's more stable? If so they could easily be worth the extra $200.
