Google has nothing to do with Carrier IQ (aside from providing the OS that it and tens of thousands of other pieces of third-party software run on). It's the carriers who put it on the phones. Phones like the Nexus don't have it.

Yes, although bids and asks are kept up-to-date during extended hours, the Last field for stocks is either zero during pre-market or the value it had at the 4PM close during the after-hours session. TOS support said that one can look at the "Mark" field, which is the midpoint between bid and...

Gotta love the Post. Making a headline and lede about something that anonymous "sources" said, but when it actually quotes the sources, none of them say anything about Corzine taking the fifth. Which he didn't. Murdoch continues his witch hunt on liberals.

Did that video say anything about finally having watchlists show the "last trade" prices for stocks during extended hours?

Well, VMware ESXi 5.0 Enterprise Plus is worth a lot, too, if it's the licensed version and not an eval. Several thousand dollars per server.

Shorts are never wrong; they're either right or early. He'll be back to congratulate himself if PCLN ever misses.

Really? FTSE100 is around 20% less than its 2008 highs. CAC 40 is down around 45% from 2007/2008 highs. Which markets are at all-time highs?

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=V+Options shows Oct 28 options. What URL on Yahoo are you looking at that says Oct 27?

I don't know whether you were auto-assigned, but holders of long options can exercise after hours, sometimes until 4:30 or 5:30PM. It depends on the broker. The OCC says the brokers have to request exercises by 8PM. SPY was above $116 at 4:30, so somebody holding $116 calls could have asked to...

If a $.25 fee on a contract with a notional value of, what, $60K is going to cause such dire consequences, maybe Mr. Duffy should lower his exchange's fees. Think how many hungry children in Africa could be fed.
