I think y'all stay at IB because they're the cheapest broker around for retail. Somehow no one ever adds in the costs of missed executions or bad fills to the cheap commissions to calculate the actual commission cost. Before all of you start clamoring that you're the kingpin of equities or...

Its 10 ozs per share, why? I have no idea.

woodies cci works for GOOG too

Avid-- I dont mean to make you feel bad, please dont. Silver is just like NG, thin, whippy and can move for no reason. I've seen too many folks think they have ahuge P&L and wake up to see it gone and not coming back. I dont think its that hard to make money trading, its so much harder...

Just rememebr, with your "solid holds" "time horizons" etc etc, that metals go down a lot faster than up, and in the past, stay down pretty long. Use trailing stops or puts for protection.

I dont know why this gets dragged out for a gazillion pages and posts. If you're serious about getting this resolved, get a lawyer and start taking depositions - otherwise you're just a whiner. If a broker feels you nailed them on a trade and it cant be resolved in a call or email, they dont...

If it takes 37 minutes to report a fill and IB blames it on DB, I'd simply tell them you DK the trade, close your account and sue them for the money. Sounds like IB and DB should make it up to you. Your lawyer will subpoena everyone's records for a deposition. Once IB and DB see you're...

Y'all need to calm down. This is just another market, and tradable. The moves in gold/silver arent a big deal - try trading GOOG options.

Unleaded had a bad print of 2.01 today, almost puked my guts when I saw that !

2gtt- My experience has always been that Man is a good firm. If you're unhappy with your fill and can show other prints where you think you could have been filled, its worth talking to them and not taking the brokers word. If no results, at least write them a letter to their Compliance group...

Dont forget that theres a whole lot of folks in Asia who will wake up to this news and may not want to average down. There also stops under 610, 604 and 598 that in illiquid trading can be hit by sleazy dealers. But who knows? The world hasnt changed, Iran can say something etc....I'm out...

There will be plenty of sellers around who need to get out - folks with a margin call, producers, who missed the highs and need to explain to shareholders what happened, etc

I keep reading that the up move in silver is due to short-covering. If thats true and not fresh buying, y'all silver bulls better get ready for a merciless drop. Who's gonna buy after the shorts have covered? NB-I sold my may AG calls yesterday

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to work for a Tier 1 firm, doing high level work, try to get to an Ivy school as soon as possible and maintain a 3.6+, 3.8+ if you want the best jobs. If you're Ok with mid-level jobs, and dont want to go to NY, stay at the schools you mentioned...

You should play on the Berk connection, looking for an IB who went there and you can convince your MBA is worth something. I have a very good friend who went to Julliard and then got a job at an IB, working in the High Net Worth group, with musicians etc. Great job, he loved it and got to do...

Its probably a function of available liquidity.

I think if you want war, you really should go send your kids or go yourself. Its a big delineator, just like when a banker wont lend his own money to a company and the endless posters here wont back up their trade ideas with their own money. But, if you bothered to read what I said, I didnt...

Funny, how everyone wants to nuke that or send F16s roaring into combat. For all the hawks here, my only thought is why dont you go send your children into harm's way first or, go yourself. Its not really that easy or fun when someonme is really shooting at you, and means it. But, if you want...

Just curious, but what size position are y'all trading?
