    80% tax rate Means prosperity

    And if I were a member of congress I would tell you that you are wrong: Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 [/B] I do not believe the founding fathers ever intended to provide for wealth redistribution when they wrote the constitution and they would like be appalled with what has become of our...

    ES symbol with IB & QT

    rebubbler, in case its not obvious ESH0 was for 2010, ESH2 is for 2012... each time the future contract rolls over you need to update the contract symbol.

    80% tax rate Means prosperity

    I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion. I'm pretty sure its been documented that the taxable income of the rich varies much more than the rest of the population because of the larger proportion of investment based income and incentive based income, both of which can decline in a bad...

    80% tax rate Means prosperity

    As already pointed out, this is a false statement This is of course a whole different discussion and not what you said in your first post. In order to have a meaningful discussion you need to define "TOP RICH". Regardless of how you define it I think you will discover that the tax rates on...

    Europe’s $39 Trillion Pension Threat Grows

    Um, not sure what you are talking about but Social Security in the US is not the same for everyone and is based on how much you paid in. That is why you can go to the SS site and see what your projected benefits will be (based on how much you have contributed and how much you expect to)...

    Never Pay Cash for Anything

    Most people are idiots - I was hoping that the crowd on ET was a bit more financially savvy, maybe you are right.

    Never Pay Cash for Anything

    Have you ever had your credit card number stolen? I have, its not a big deal. You tell the credit card company you didn't make the purchase/authorize the charge. They take it off your bill. They send you a new card. Life goes on. If you want to deal with keeping cash on you and...

    Never Pay Cash for Anything

    They make money from both sides?? Funny, I don't ever remember paying American Express one cent - I do remember them paying me over $1000 per year in cash rewards. Oh, just read the rest of your post and see that you are a disgruntled former merchant account holder...so sad. I agree with...

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    No, he was lucky. If had placed the order he said he tried to place (buy to close at $76) then the order would not have filled and he would still be sitting short this morning. He is lucky for the "mistake"

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    There is no basis for the trade to be busted. The trade occurred at the current market price. If you read the first post carefully you will see the OP tried to place a trade $10 away from the current price but for whatever reason (fat finger or brokerage fault) it traded at the market...

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    I'm having trouble seeing how this cost you $4k. You said that you (tried to) put the order in for $76.40 which was $10 less than the current market price but it actually executed at $86.40 ($10 higher) - that sure sounds like you actually closed out your short at the current market price...

    Is anyone else worried about Penson Financial?

    I withdrew extra cash out of my MBTrading/Penson account last week... if they fold I'll deal with whatever loss I may have to take.

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    FIOS has been out for 7 years, although compared to cable its "new" I wouldn't says it still in the promotional stages. They have already raised rates more than once and they have pretty much frozen their deployment, needing to recoup some of their huge investment in existing covered service...
