    InteractiveBrokers "hyper-hypothecates" $14.5b of Customer Funds?

    If you're trading equities, then what do you have to worry about when you're SIPC insured. I understand the fear if you trade futures but not equities. If you trade futs I'd be concerned at any firm after MF -- would strike the fear of g-d in me.

    Anyone trade just on news flow? NO TECHNICALS!

    Um..... Bad news I go short. Conversely, good news I go, wait for it, long. Good traders can break down the news and determine whether it will lead to an extended move or if it's over by the time you get the flow.

    It seems like the vast majority of ET trades mainly on TA. Does anyone here trade based on actual news flow? Upgrades/Downgrades, chatter, other news? That's 95% of what I trade around and am always looking for other similar traders to share ideas with and help each other get the news and...
