Won't ThinkOrSwim's platform disappear once it merges with Ameritrade??

If you read my one of my posts a few weeks ago, I sold the 1.00 puts when stock was trading about 1.33. Sold them for .45. My reasoning was that the stock simply wouldn't collapse to 0. They never do, they float around for a while. If you can't see the pattern that has developed lately...

Does IB charge higher margin requirements than other brokers? The reason I asked is because I tried to transfer my account at Etrade to IB but IB rejected it. I have a ton of naked short options in my account and while it's okay at Etrade, IB wouldn't accept the transfer because they said I...

Well I looked into that and the foreign brokers charge astronomical fees to trade options so forget it. Well at least we can trade options on foreign stock indexes.

How much margin do you need to sell a single naked option on a US Stock Index Future?

LOL you guys are freakin' nuts. First of all, Oliver Stone is directing. Michael Douglas and Shia LeBouef are already signed on. And Javier Bardem is also rumored to be in strong consideration for the antagonist role. You think a movie with those people involved is going to suck? GMFB...

So you're saying I should dump it?

They do if you have the money.

There are other things that go into it though like having Goldman's back office basically take care of everything for you and you won't have to worry about the safety of your funds. Have you seen Rediplus version 9.0 that they just released in April? Looks pretty sweet.

Relative to the US Dollar, which of the following currencies will strengthen over the next 50 years? Rank them from top to bottom. Australian Dollar Japanese Yen Canadian Dollar Euro British Pound New Zealand Dollar Hong Kong Dollar Norwegian Krone Swedish Krona Swiss Franc Korean...

Anyone use this? Seems like the gold standard.

Should I dump this thing already? Is it game over? I've been holding long thinking market would sell off but it just isn't and I'm getting ready to throw in the towel.

why are these no bid at a nickel when stock is 2.20, 7 mths to expiration, and they just announced huge cancer news??
