Great news, thanks! Could you also fix the following glitches: - Allow access to Tokyo Stock Exchange products, including TSE equities and JGB and TOPX futures and options. For some reason iTWS doesn't recognize the symbols for TSE products. (On the other hand Osaka-traded N225 futures and...

I have experienced none of these problems either with iPhone 3G.

Well done IB! I've been using iTWS for two days and it works great, apart from a few glitches which I trust will be corrected soon, such as the unavailability of certain products (JGB and TOPX futures/options, currency pairs other than CME futures, etc.)...

What a pile of bull$hit

Kosinc, your poor command of the English language is seriously starting to give me headaches. Whatever thirld-world (sorry "emerging") dump you hail from, you would be better off directing your efforts towards improving your home country's education system rather than waste time polluting this...

200K LEH shares bought on Friday at an average price of $3.74. I don't normally trade single stocks but this is like buying a call on LEH. FYI I'm up $3.6 million YTD, so this is a small percentage of my equity.

I continue to be astounded by the stupidity and ignorance of 99% of the people who post on this forum, as well as by most so called financial markets bloggers. It's not surprising that there are so many posts from people asking whether they have any chance of making it as traders or should they...

Utter nonsense for the CNBC housewives and Cramerlike losers. The only people who know what's on LEH's balance sheet are LEH's management and those who are looking at LEH's books and will make a bid for the company. Lehman is a great franchise and will be snapped up - at a premium. The...

It was Cuban pesos, amigo. :D Now at the end of this VERY profitable week, I'm going to have a smoke (for those who asked earlier - fine Moroccan hash rolled in a Jack Daniels-drenched $100 bill) and then I'm going to hit the Chelsea bars and get laid, safe in the knowledge that come Monday...

I don't think any of you understand either the investment banking or the trading business. LEH will be acquired at a huge premium to $4 and the stock will far exceed that once the deal is announced. Considering the huge volumes this week and that neither institutions nor LEH employees have...

With LEH trading below $3.60 in the after-market, this is an incredible set-up for the greatest trade ever. LEH is a great franchise and Wall Street will not let it fail for obvious systemic reasons, nor will it let it go the way of BSC. If it did, when will this run on the bank end? Who will...

I'm thinking of getting an iPhone so I spent an hour playing with one at the Apple store the other day. I can confirm I had no problem accessing my IB account multiple times and placing trades, etc. with Safari on a 3G iPhone. I typed https://www.interactivebrokers.com/wml in Safari and it all...

I have been using IB's Mobile Trader daily for several years. It works perfectly on my Blackberry and Motorola V8. I recommend using it in conjunction with Opera Mini, which among other things makes it possible to re-log on without having to retype one's username and password (if you don't use...

LEH news re KDB just hit Bloomberg. It figures.

I don't think so

The calls keep rising as LEH is falling. Something's up.

This reaction may be short-lived. See DJ news item below. I closed my longs at 1270 (as expected given the movement in the SPYs on Friday implying 1657-1660 and accounting for the illiquidity and the mad rush to cover.) I am now massively short. IMO by Tuesday we'll see a re-test of 1220...

There WILL be a deal, and it will be in that ballpark. You don't understand how the East Asians think. Also, don't delude yourself into thinking that any piece of news is BS aimed at boosting the share price, it's not.

SPX is likely to open up more than 15 handles on Sunday on the FRE/FNM news but but those gains are not likely to hold for long if there's no other news. However in my opinion the wild card is LEH. If a deal with Nomura or KDB is announced over the weekend, look for a 40-handle move up in...

If anything this news is USD positive. Reading this and most other posts on this board reminds me of how many clueless idiots there are out there and why I no longer waste my time with ET. Most of you guys had better get a job driving cabs in NY, Chicago, or even Mexico City or Mumbai...
