MBT offers flat rate $9.99 trades as well. Please don't tell me that you are really planning on trading penny stocks like that example you gave.

Sure, it usually comes as a shock to most folks the first time they are told about it because its not intuitive unless you understand the settlement process. The only way to avoid it is to open a margin account instead of a cash account. The deposit requirements for a margin account are...

It not a question of executing a trade (and the holding period, day versus multiday is irrelvent), its a question of how often you can recycle that money. Just because you sell a stock doesn't mean you get the proceeds instantly (to trade with again). Here is a notice I found posted that...

What are you going to be paying at eTrade and for what kind of trades (size & frequency)? I thought eTrade was going to charge you between $7 and $13 flat rate depending on number of trades (based on the link you provided). It sounded like you were going to be opening a $1000 account...

Can I ask how you came to decide eTrade was your best choice versus the more popular brokers that are used here like IB & MBT?

Avoid eTrade.

Exactly

API = application program interface Its defines the channel of communication between one piece of code and another (possibly within the same program but not necessarily) Its a specification, its not anything tangible. Its not software. Here is a trivial example, Windows has a function...

If you want me to do your research for you then I will need to bill you at my standard rate.

I explained why Microsoft recommends ctrl-alt-delete to login to Windows. Now what have you added? Oh yea, the flip comment to use Linux instead, with the implication that Linux doesn't have that issue when in fact Linux is just as vulnerable to that form of attack as Windows.

You have a very interesting discussion style. You attempted to recharacterize my position on the printer issue as "it is not possible" even though I never even remotely said anything like that. And you still seem to clinge to the idea that there is some burden of proof on me to prove a...

Nor do I say that you did. The OP did however say it unequivocally and that is who I am questioning. Lots of things are possible, when someone makes the claim that "All modern printers have a special coding system to locate a source of a printout." then I feel that the burden of proof is on...

If you are asking if I have written or been the victim of either a Windows or Linux fake login app then then answer is no. That doesnt mean that Linux does not have the same issue as Windows in that regard.

If your registry is damaged then its unlikely that a registry cleaner is going to help - all they tend to do is remove unused entries (which would not be causing errors). I agree with the others, re-install, preferrably with a better OS...

Yes, because we all know its impossible to write a fake login screen program for Linux (rolls eyes) http://www.linux.com/howtos/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/trusted-path.shtml

The govt doesnt need to reverse engineer anything - they need to convince the printer manufacturers to insert these codes into their printers (or printer drivers) unless you are claiming that the govt convinced the asic manufacturers to supply chips that had been modified without the printer...
