The quote you referenced talks about money not wealth. They are not interchangable. In fact this quote actually refutes your position since it says that wealth does change with stock market price changes.

Take your pick... http://www.investopedia.com/university/fiveminute/fiveminute1.asp http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/faceoff/a2003-06-25-plungingstocks.html

It appears that as of yesterday MBT has updated this web page to include information about the Scudder MM funds they offer for cash balance sweeping. FYI

I won't pretend to know anything about electrical stuff but I have witnessed several online "discussions" between folks that appear to know what the hell they were talking about and based on that its my understanding that most cheap (<$20-$30) multiple outlet surge protection power strips have...

I've used these and recommend them: Power Strip Liberator Plus Extension, they are available from a variety of places but I found a good price on ebay : http://stores.ebay.com/Great-Lakes-Mercantile They provide a 6" pigtail so that a transformer doesnt take up multiple outlets and they also...

If you allow Penson (MBT's clearing firm) to sweep your unused cash then you will get the prevailing money market rates. They are using Scudder (as you can see from the Scudder hyperlink on the Penson.com homepage) I'm not sure if you get a choice of funds, I seem to recall you do but its been...

Whatever you say chief, but one question before you go, are you really this much of a jerk in real-life or are you just having a bad day?

For those that choose to sweep their funds to a MM fund with the clearing firm (Penson) then the rate for December was around 3.2%. Note I said "around", please don't call me a liar again if it turns out it was only 3.19%. And yes they pay that on the full amount, not just the amount above...

Since you are having a memory lapse let me refresh it; In your post in which you were talking exclusively about IB and MBT you wrote "IB's superiority in the areas of commissions and order execution quality" Now once again how did you determine that IB is superior to MBT being that you have...

Was it really "totally misleading" or do you have a tendency toward hyperbole? So after admitting that you know nothing about MBT's execution quality you go ahead and make a vague prediction that IB is better anyway? Amazing. How can you state that their order execution quality is better than...

I quoted the fee for the number of shares that the OP stated (50-100) unlike your hypothetical (200 shares) which is designed only to make IB look better. Now who is the one promoting brokers on this website? You are correct about SEC fees also being passed along by MBT, they are of course...

Won't a similar contract be in force no matter where you get the tick data from? No one is going to sell you data without a contract that prevents you from turning around and competing with them (unless they dont want to be in business for very long)

When I read the article yesterday on Slashdot (linked below) there was a lot of commentary about the author of the story (who seems to have a bias to recommend mag tape storage since he works for IBM storage). One good point the detractors made that attacked the credibility of the original...

MB Trading. Same price as IB for 50-100 shares ($1) , no monthly fees http://www.mbtrading.com/

If what you were saying is true then what would stop me from subscribing to a data provider and then offering the feed to everyone else at a tenth of the cost I pay? http://www.esignal.com/disclaimer/default.asp#6 6.0 Ownership of Information; Downloading of Materials; Retransmission and...

Too late now (sorry) but Woot had a really good deal on 250GB WD refurb drives today, $50 + $5 ship. That's a good price to pick up a couple of spare drives for storing backups without dealing with rebates. Maybe they will have them again. http://www.woot.com/

Yes that is correct. The advantage of cloning has over imaging is that with cloning you dont need to do a restore step because you have a perfect copy of the original drive already sitting on the clone drive. If your system is configured correctly you should be able to change you BIOS boot...

It shouldnt be a problem, its for people that dont understand drive booting issues as long you have everything under control it will be fine. I would remove the drive letter for the IDE drive from the disk manager just to make sure I never got confused about which drive I was working on...
