    Botched 1099-B cost-basis reporting: The List

    F**k, D**M, ........ADD ANY EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE WORDS. So I filed and extension and today is Sunday night October 14, 2012. Taxes are due tomorrow. I prepare my own and have been doing for years. MTM as I'm a full time trader and all proper elections were done years ago. I'm confident in...

    Best News Feed

    There have been several threads on news sources. The wires bring in tons of news every minute, you have to set filters to only see what pertains to you or you'll be bombarded with numerous headlines. I prefer another type of news service. The ones who have analysts review the news and bring...

    Ransquawk now covers Asian markets! Trading the news

    cvh, thanks for reminding me that Sigma doesn't have text either. For my trading needs, I need audio and text. I covered ITC in my YouTube video. I live on the west coast and their news service stopped at 10:00 am (pacific time). Looks like they're mostly for the European markets...

    Ransquawk now covers Asian markets! Trading the news

    Thanks for letting me know about the other services. I'm always looking for services with news at good prices. I'm in the middle of evaluating livesquawk.com as suggested in this thread. They are NOT a 24-hour service. There is no news during the Asian markets. They're just open for British...

    Ransquawk now covers Asian markets! Trading the news

    Several months ago, I did a review of many online news sources which also have audio. These news services filter all the various feeds and bring you more pertinent news which may have the potential to move markets or individual stocks. If you haven't seen my original YouTube review, it's...

    Android tablet and stock trading - Remote Desktop Questions

    Thanks, I'll start researching those. You're right as it's a good idea to create a VPN connection, I'm gonna have to see if my Buffalo router supports that. Does Logmein have automatic support for dynamic DNS?

    Android tablet and stock trading - Remote Desktop Questions

    I recently got a Motorola Xoom. There are lots of apps for watching stocks, but I don't like any of them. None allow you to watch multiple charts and their layouts are horrible. Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade, my two brokers, have apps, but still are far lacking in features. I'm...

    Ultrabook replacement for old laptop

    Take a look at the YouTube video I made for my Sony Z2 series laptop as being the best notebook/ultrabook available for trading: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcKskEr9FPw And you would have to carry around a the external drive if you want to watch blu-ray or dvd movies. But I only used...

    Help me choose a news service

    If it went up by 2 ticks, then down by 7, that's a nine tick movement. If they alerted you to a nine tick move, then they did their job. They may tell you "The Buds Popped", but that's not a recommendation to buy or sell. It's your decision to go long or short (or do nothing). Lots of "pups"...

    Please to help with some advice

    Excellent advice. Regular retail routers with dual WAN inputs don't instantly switch connections. 30-45 seconds is being nice. It could take even longer. In my home, my primary is Time Warner Cable. I also have Verizon DSL as backup (and the DSL also runs my VOIP phones). When my cable...

    MF Global Executives Still Getting Bonuses

    It seems that fraud and crime on Wall Street always pays off, even if you get caught. No other industry works this way. Just sickening.

    IB Security Device lost by USPS - cost me $40

    I had a card for my IRA account and a security device for another account. I hated the card, so I merged both accounts to the security device. And Segate as my broker?? Interesting. I'll have to look into that :) And folks, in my original post, I mentioned I was just venting. This means...

    IB Security Device lost by USPS - cost me $40

    It's more with IB than USPS. First, I followed all of their instructions on returning the security device. They recommended a traceable method, so I sent it certified. Second, every device has a life span. I had their device for over 4 years. Doesn't this depreciate? Wasn't most of it's...

    IB TWS Phone Apps - where do they stand?

    I use the Android app and I think it's very weak. All you can do is get quotes and make trades. The charts stop working after regular market hours...even futures and currencies. The TDAmeritrade is one of the more robust ones out there. I also check out the Scottrade one and it was...

    IB Security Device lost by USPS - cost me $40

    My security device went bad. I contacted IB and they gave me instructions on returning it. I used USPS and sent it to them via Certified Mail ($4.90). The tracking number shows it's stuck at some sorting facility for the past 3 weeks. IB is now charging me $40. The customer service says...

    Apple earnings January 24th.

    Somehow I don't think the Chinese workers at Foxconn are celebrating the great earnings. Here is John Stewart's video on Foxconn...pretty funny: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-january-16-2012/fear-factory (you gotta forward to 1:50 into the video).

    Help me choose a news service

    CvH, YouTube/Google are having some issues. My video shows as "processing". During processing time, it's only available using a direct link. Once it finishes processing, it will be viewable in my channel as well as by doing a search. Processing normally takes a few minutes after a video...

    Marriage, just don't

    She got post partum depression after their first child. During office events, she would often start crying for no reason. Other wives would try to console her. Her husband finally pursuaded her to get some psychotic help. She took some meds and was a lot better (sorry, I don't know the...
