No, the more articulate son is forever screwed from this higher office thx to the birthright of older, less qualified big bro and for big bro not being able to control his vice president. Is there any doubt who is really responsible for this country's current woes. As to the Dem race...

Seriously? Do a friggin' Google search and get caught up to 2007 if you think we are wasting your time. This thread is a waste.

Accounts were not insured. No SIPC. They were in bankruptcy for 2 yrs. Creditors made claim against traders' funds, and since traders were unsecured creditors, they were one of the last to get their money. In the end, most account holders got less than 20% of account value. Account holders were...

Does a BD have to buy a membership? Can't BD's stand alone if they have the clearing agreement with an exchange member (i.e. a BD who clears through Penson or GS)?

For added security, do any of you use fingerprint readers such as the ones from Microsoft or Logitech for your security passwords when logging on and off? For the IT guys out there, does this prevent pswds from being read by Trojans or other programs that hackers like to install on your computer?

Why so much Austin and not Dallas or Houston? Or is it just where you are getting hits lately? I see threads posted on other boards as well that ask for prop shops in TX, but it seems very few houses are will to expense an office there.
