    Best trading platform for IB excluding TWS

    I say it's better, but that's just my opinion. Everyone looks for different things in their platform. I've never really liked TWS. It just seems more clunky, and less user friendly than other platforms. I'm sure a lot of people love it. Das Trader Pro is a low latency platform that was designed...

    The Wall of Stupid

    According to the 21st chapter of Revelations, Heaven has a wall made of jasper that's 144 cubits high. That's over 200 feet. The immigration application is pretty straightforward, and open to all though. ;)

    The Wall of Stupid

    So walls can't keep people out, but they can keep people in? o_O

    Boycott NIKE!

    You are correct. I care a lot more about the reaction to an ER than what's actually in it.

    A teacher loses her job if she refuses to swear allegiance to Israel.. in the U.S.!!

    On the surface this seems like a blatant violation of the 1st amendment. It becomes more complicated whenever you look deeper. I read through the Texas state bill that was passed. It isn't geared towards individuals, it's geared towards businesses entities. The state of Texas is Israel's number...

    Boycott NIKE!

    I misunderstood what the article was saying. I was comparing 2018 Q1 data to 2018 Q2 data. It seems Nike had a similar drop of half a billion dollars in revenue from Q1 to Q2 in 2017. So the numbers makes sense when you look at it on an annual basis as opposed to a quarterly basis.

    Boycott NIKE!

    Hmm... According to the CNBC story, Nike's revenue grew in almost every category. Yet when I compare this quarter to their previous quarter, it shows that their total revenue dropped from $9.95 billion to $9.37 billion. What am I missing here?

    MAGA: 7-year-old migrant girl taken into Border Patrol custody dies of dehydration, exhaustion

    It's flat out evil for the media to try to pin this girl's death on the border patrol. Now that the facts are coming out, it seems they did everything they could to save this girl's life. It's sad that the media would take a tragic death like this and try to twist it to fit their political...

    What to do with my life?

    The article gives an example of how someone can take a position size of over 20% of their account value in Apple, and limit their risk to 2% through a stop loss. This logic is flawed to some extent, because a stop loss won't save you if the stock's price moves past it after-hours or premarket...

    MAGA: 7-year-old migrant girl taken into Border Patrol custody dies of dehydration, exhaustion

    What a sad story. This girl should still be alive. What kind of father allows their child to go several days without food or water? How could this type of condition go unnoticed after they were taken into custody?

    Canada arrests CFO of China's Huawei Technologies

It's starting to feel more and more like this arrest was a strategic move designed to...

    Teacher Fired for not using Pronoun

    Good info.:thumbsup: I wasn't aware that he Virginia had this type of protection in place for teachers. It sounds like he might have a fighting chance if he chooses to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination.

    Teacher Fired for not using Pronoun

    Virginia is an employment-at-will state. That means employers don't need a reason to fire an employee unless they have a contract that puts stipulations on termination. Besides that, teachers can typically be fired for insubordination if they refuse to follow the rules set by the administrators...

    Teacher Fired for not using Pronoun

    I never said that you did. I'm just pointing out that this is an interesting conversation that can be discussed from many different angles. Employers have the right to tell their employees what they can or can't do whenever they're on company time. If the employee doesn't want to follow these...

    Teacher Fired for not using Pronoun

    Oddly enough, I agree with you. If an employee doesn't want to follow the rules his employer sets, he can find a different job. That's the way the world works. That's why I don't have an issue with NFL owners cutting players if they refuse to stand for the national anthem after being told not...

    MAGA: Stocks are heading for the worst year since before Obama

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States Our country has never gone more than 10 years between recessions. Our last recession ended in June of 2009, so we're definitely due for another one. The stock market had recovered from trade war fears back in August to set...

    NFL Players at it again

    Hmm... It's almost like he supports his players and their fight for justice, but he doesn't want them to kneel during the anthem. What an interesting concept. ;)

    Fed's predictions? Hawkish or Dovish?

    It's funny how interest rates went from a 'long way' from neutral to 'just below' neutral in less than 2 months. :rolleyes:

    I was wrong on climate change. Why can’t other conservatives admit it, too?
