Just watching the way Maria holds her microphone and clipboard at 9:30ET is all it takes :D :D :D

Go to Anaheim, get yourself a Rally Monkey and spank the thing silly :D

When an inexpensive broker like IB collects more in one day than I do, and I'm doing all the work and risking the capital, it was time to modify the old trading plan.

Aphie - I know I've busted your balls a few times over your lack of experience and 1000 posts here on Elite, but now that you're finally in the game I wish you all the best. And remember: I'm always there to take your money on the other side of your trades :D Trade your plan and keep...

According to Raymond James that happened with WCOM - the shorts outstanding was approaching the float

There's a fine example of an ad campaign that jumped the shark. The first 2 or 3 were cute, now they're downright obnoxious (except Yogi's). The latest one with that f*cken air impact wrench screeching sucks, as does the one with the 2 kids on the roller coaster.

IB maintains a list of avail shorts on their website under "Trading Info" Maybe ST does the same

Now there's a sound financial investment.

There must've been some sort of glitch in the system. I've never had problems shorting any of those before either.

To set the record straight, it's working now. Whether it was coincidence or if Def helped out - thanks to Def for jumping in and responding. Greatly appreciated. We've gotta get more people like him on this board from other companies as well - people who read posts and take action.

I just PM'd him as well, before you posted. I can't believe they'd expect their customers to wait weeks on end for the simple task of trading futures. As I stated before I've been with them for a over year and like the firm, but this has to be addressed a lot faster than waiting for some...

Great posts, Allen. I follow them each day. Great work.

Maybe Baron should start charging Aphie $2.40 per post as commission on any day he doesn't trade a futures contract :D

Whatever happened to the 350-lb Sumo wrestler-types that so typified Rissian women, before the Glasnost era?? :D:D:D

it's just not worth the savings in commissions when you have ineptitude on the phone and boilerplate e-mails as support. As someone earlier said, it's like dealing with a gov't agency; take your services as rendered but if you have a complaint or problem - stick it in your ass.

I did all that and got a new U-number but no trading permissions yet.

They've had noise-cancelling headphone for years that do just that. In a controlled environment like an earcup it's a lot eaiser than outside where the lawnmower's sounds would echo off other objects. The acoustic logarithm would be a nightmare.

Well the thing is I've been with them over a year trading stocks and I like the firm, but I don't need my balls broken just trying to get permission to trade futures. I was promised it would be completed over last weekend, now it's another week.

anyone who went long before the close has their nuts in the blender now. Tomorrow could be as ugly as today was good makes you glad to be a daytrader

How about 9:35am for starters. Days like today give me hemmorhoids as a day trader. Best to just relax and catch up on the Sopranos season 3 DVD.
