    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    In areas served by more than one company there is no monopoly. I can get Comcast or FIOS and both offer the same three services (TV, internet, phone) and they do not share any lines, completely different mediums. I'd be interested to hear what you have read that scares you. I've had the FIOS...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    FIOS doesn't charge for their equipment, both the optical network terminal (which is not a cheap piece of equipment) and the router.

    Is anyone else worried about Penson Financial?

    You enter an offsetting trade (long 10 ES) in your other futures account (different broker) so that you are effectively flat. If you don't have a second futures account then you have more to worry about then just your broker going MF on you - technology issues happen all the time that could...

    If POFVF is supposed to predict where OFV will be in a week or two and POFVF is 100 points higher then OFV then why are you still short? Doesn't this mean your system is saying the market is going higher?

    T-bonds at 0% why not just keep the money?

    inflation isn't a problem for holding equities? Hard to discuss something if you keep changing the subject. If you don't like the yield then you don't have to buy them.

    Hi Steve, I received notice about the Penson backoffice change on Dec 9th. My positions were wrong the morning of Friday Dec 16th so I don't think that was related. The standard alert went about running on backup, please don't trade out of erroneous positions so I know it wasn't just me...
