What happened to the thread, "Making money with Jim Cramer" (or something) here?

I usu shut down my PC's so that their RAM gets "flushed"--often times, some programs will not release memory even after they are closed, right? Is there a way of doing that without rebooting PC's? Thanks in advance.

Does it mean that if I do Not subscribe to any market data, IB will not charge $10 even if my account is inactive for the month, let's say?

I could llive with his pompousness, but then I found him somewhat sanctimonious when he started blanketing the nation with his solicitations to join his "club."

Because some (or maybe, most) don't think a paper loss is loss and believe stocks will always go up

Thanks very much Donna.

IB, I think, is very restrictive in type of options strategies allowed in IRA accounts. IB's risk management is mechanical (programmed into the system), so it will not allow the slightest chance of an IRA account having a net short position due to earlier assignment/exercise or the account...

Thanks Bernard. I will PM you when I am ready.

That would be a headache for CNBC. No, wait, he should talk to CNBC for a show called "Crazy Money"

I presume you are a happy customer? I am thinking of openning an account with them, so any feedback is appreciated. Thanks very much.

Anyone uses GHCO (Goldenberg, Hehmeyer & Co.)? At last Traders Expo, it was offering free X_Trader with $4.75/rt commission.

I suggested that they make available risk graph (and other analysis and research features such as scan, charts ,etc) on their website for their clients as well. It will be much easier to read.

Hi DCAMan, A couple of questions after seeing your spreadsheet, as I have no experience in investing in Canadian energy trusts. --From the calculation in your sheet, the dividend is distributed monthly? --15% of dividend is automatically withheld to pay to Canadian tax authority and...

Does MBTrading's software allow you to enter options spread trades? Thanks very much in advance.

This brought out the importance of record keeping. I track every trade in my own spreadsheet and format it in Schedule D format for stocks and options (futures, as Jack said, are easy). This is done everyday when there are trades. At tax time, my own sales proceeds number matches the number...

First of all good luck to you. Who do you with? And how do you like it? Now I am doing some simulated trades and some real ones on IB's platform, which assumes $4.8 RT bundled. For those who say that even $3.75 is too high, who do you recommend as a low commish, relliable brokers for...

Assuming that you are talking about one side of an IC spread, i.e., a vertical, the commission at TOS can be: TOS: 2.95 + 2.95 = $5.90 Until you trade larger lots, you can opt for $1.5/contract plus ticket charge scheme at TOS.

Does he speak like riskarb--when he writes about option positions, I wish I had really learned Greek. About Cottle's new book, "The Hidden Reality," what percent of it is new material compared to "CWS", Coach? I guess it is worth having, especailly since all graphs are in color...

Thanks very much Coach. I was reading the link to the previous page where you first mentioned it. It made my head spin trying to map it out, and I reached for Cottle's book for help as well. Boy, isn't options fun! That would make some interesting wknd mental exercise (on top of the tax...
