    Uber is cool, used it for the first time recently on a trip to San Francisco - loved it, super fast pick ups, friendly drivers, nice clean vehicles, and much lower rates than cabs. What is there not to like about it?

    Interactive Brokers just removed $100,000+ from my account

    k - It was just pulling your chain - you went from the worst case scenario of losing $100K to thinking about unrealized profits - can't blame you for that. Glad you got the problem resolved so quickly. I could not find any bug notifications related to account balances - that is really odd.

    My $29 phone has a Corning Gorilla glass display the same size as the Iphone-6, the battery on my cheapo phone is nearly 3 X's larger than the Iphone and rivals it big time when you look at every spec. I have even traded from my $29 phone. I like to get good deals which is easy to do by...

    Or you could have this one for only $2.99 Any trader that is worthy of calling themselves a #1 trader would be a complete fool to pay more than $2.99 for thier own domain. Besides the title is over the top arrogant unless you happen to be George Soros.
