    Short ETFs vs. short an ETF?

    I have had several instances over the years of poor execution speed in shorting ETFs. None however had the volume of SPY. My order has also been refused due to "no shares being available to borrow." It was IWM, go figure.

    Is it time to buy a house?

    Timing the bottom is a futile exercise. This time is fairly unique, low prices AND low interest rates. Go for it. Get a flat rate, not an ARM.

    Trade Showing Up That Was Never Made

    A duplicate order happened to me a few months back. It was a software glitch on their end, but try convincing them that. Took about a week of harassment from me to get it fixed. In the end it all worked out, but even though I had the word of a tech that it could happen, they weren't going...

    Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse 5 On the eighth day, the forty-year-old hobo said to Billy, "This ain't bad. I can be comfortable anywhere." "You can?" said Billy. On the ninth day, the hobo died. So it goes. His last words were, "You think this is bad? This ain't bad."
