    Internet Connection But IE Won't Access Internet

    I would drop the word "possible" from that last sentence. As you said Plug Link and wireless are completely separate - you have determined the router works when wired, so now you need to focus on Plug Link and wireless as separate issues. I don't like Plug Link type solutions because they...

    I'm not planning on posting this anymore since Nitro has ended posting NFV but here it is one more time: Short 7 units (max position) Basis=1159.94 Realized gain/loss= -60.60 (since 9/2) Unrealized gain/loss= - 441.44 (SPX @ 1223.00) So yes, 500 handle loss.

    Is this wash trade... is this legal

    That is not true - you must consider all accounts when determining if a wash sale occurred, you do not treat each account separately.

    Please don't jinx us with a prediction about how it is very likely that the market will close red

    110 difference between NFV and SPX! New record?

    Internet Connection But IE Won't Access Internet

    It sounds like it is the ethernet over power (pluglink) that is causing the problem. I would try plugging directly into the RG with an ethernet cable (using a laptop if connecting the desktop is a problem) to confirm that that works (using DHCP not a manually assigned IP) If that works then I...

    Internet Connection But IE Won't Access Internet

    The desktop default gateway should be set to the RG, so set it to 192.168.1.254 on the desktop.

    Coming back to optios. Need safer trades.

    The worst case scenario in OP's premise was a small gain not loss:

    Internet Connection But IE Won't Access Internet

    From the machine with a problem open a command prompt (CMD.exe) and do "ping 4.2.2.2" if that works (reply received) then you know have internet connectivity Next test - make sure DNS is working. Ping www.cisco.com Another thing to do is to install a different browser (firefox or...

    IRA Account without waiting for T+3. IB has one. Is it legit?

    There is no way that is correct. You can make all sorts of exotic investments in an self-directed IRAs using trustees that allow such things - you are saying if you make an investment that is disallowed that you can go after the trustee because they shouldn't have let you do it?!? If you...

    IRA Account without waiting for T+3. IB has one. Is it legit?

    Its not clear to me that if I do futures trading in my IRA and the IRS deems that makes my IRA a non-IRA if IB has done anything wrong or if all of the problem falls on my shoulders. Are you of the opinion that IB would pay for all the back taxes and penalties I am assessed if the IRS ever...

    IRA Account without waiting for T+3. IB has one. Is it legit?

    Let's not be so dismissive of the OP question - its not IB who has their ass on the line, if the IB IRA is not a legitimate IRA then its not IB that is in trouble, its all the folks that have established IB IRA's which the IRS rules as invalid causing a whole slew of tax issues for them (not...

    IRA Account without waiting for T+3. IB has one. Is it legit?

    Well let's be realistic about this...IB (their competitor) is offering a product that they can't or won't...does it surprise you that they would try to convince you that something is not legit about it? I'd give more weight if the claim that the IB IRA is not legit came from a neutral...

    IRA Account without waiting for T+3. IB has one. Is it legit?

    Let's be clear here - performance bond or not, it would be quite easy for a highly leveraged IB IRA to go negative with futures - the market just has to gap widely against your futures position and you would be negative before they could liquidate you. Presumably IB would require you to...

    Nationwide French protest over right to retire at age 60

    Here's a novel idea - if you want to retire early, then SAVE your money and you can retire whenever you want - you don't need to wait for the government's permission to retire...unless you are foolish enough to expect the gov't to take care of you.

    I going to stick to just documenting the main (NFV) trades from now on... the daytrades are easy enough for anyone to follow since the entry/exit all happen within one day
