    Closed end bond ETF's ... anyone trade them?

    Wondering if anyone has experience trading closed end bond ETF's? Any insight into the basics that drives the premium/discount relative to the NAV? I "passively acquired" a few of these, and searching have not found much ...

    Six Arab states join rush to go nuclear

    HoundDog, very sobering post... and an outcome that I also find inevitable. I have been reading up on Iraq's nuclear progress with uranium isotope separation using calutrons thru the 1990's, and as you said "This is very serious business." Hopefully after the elections, we will have a more...

    Am I wasting time learning Visual Basic?

    Speaking of VB and my coding issues of today... how do you determine the size of a dynamic array? Not bytes, but entries?

    Martial Law in the US now enabled by Bush

    If we had a good student of history here, I would be interested in their analysis of things today versus the allies preparation for WWII about 2 or 3 years before the declaration of war. We might want to keep an eye on Germany's recent decision to support an international military presence...

    Peak Fish... Not A Joke...

    Speaking of fish... here is one for you. One of my investing buddies pulled me into an interesting venture a couple of years ago. He was developing fully contained waste water treatment systems with on site disposal of all effluent. (With effluent pollution levels 1/10 of the best state of...

    America will be off oil sooner than you think

    I would have to dig to find the DOE reference, but something like 90% of trips are under 35 miles R/T. I therefore think we are headed towards an all electric Honda Civic class vehicle for to/from work, errands, and such, and a larger hydrocarbon/hydrogen vehicle for vacations and long trips...

    America will be off oil sooner than you think

    Uranium suppliers started thier climb about 3 years ago. Take a look at CCJ for example... By the way I thoroughly agree that increased electric demand will be fueled with nuclear fission. The players were ge, westinghouse, babcock and wilcox... I think GE is spot on for the ramp up. They...

    What could have been done with the Amaranth money?

    Own a shuttle and a half for a year and half the space station. 7Bil is about 1/2 of NASA's annual budget.

    Tax and accounting forum

    Tax forum sounds like a good idea. There also seems to be quite a few business owners, trading on the side here. Their input on business tax strategies might be very helpful.

    Someone used my IB account to trade!!!

    Bob111 could you expand on your SSL comment? I agree 8 characters is too short for the password. Finally, it would be nice if after 3 failed logon attempts, to lock the account. That will significantly stop brute force password hacking, but have no effect on a compromised password...

    Free automated trading platform, for IB

    For a scanner, say I have a watchlist of 50 stocks and every 5 minutes I would like to totem pole them based on a number of technical indicators each multiplied by a "tuned" weighting factor: like Fast Stoich, Slow Stoich, MACD, and say 5 min bar volume/avg 5 min bar volume. There are...

    space tourism

    It's a culture clash. Rutan despises NASA bureaucracy, as any entrepreneur would. But a 100 person company won't put 4 astronauts on the moon or mars... You really need checkers, checking checkers check when you light the fuse and your committed. No pulloff on the highway to orbit! BTW if...

    Cars that could help GM survive

    I have some strong feelings about GM myself, and could not agree with you more. GM needs to reshape their product line, like yesterday. I am a lifelong GM guy, and currently own 3 GM products including a couple of Tahoe's. When gas hit $3+ I bailed on GM and bought a couple of used Honda...
