Thanks all. Glad to know I'm not the only guy who shops around for ways to get money on cash nowadays.

I see that CITI is offering $1,500 to drop $200,000K in a checking account (yes a checking account) for 60 days and then you can transfer out. Off the top of my head that's like 3.5% annualized, no? Anyone have any experience doing this with them? I ask only because I have found some of these...

Ok, if I wanted to give Lightspeed a try, pay a small commission, and just test shorting some UVXY with real money, what is the minimum I need to do this for a while? 15K? Or would the nature of the beast, in this case, require more to meet internal margin requirements, although I partially...

How deep ITM or ATM or even OTM should a LEAPS put be, if I plan to buy one, hold until expiration and assign it? I'm thinking UVXY, in case you're wondering.

I'm one of those guys who shorts UVXY (please no critiques in this thread). I used IB for this trade until I got tired of them not having any shares on hand or even calling my shares back. Then I tried Schwab and I was pleasantly surprised how I was rarely turned down when I wanted to short some...

If so, do they also need to be RIAs? I'm thinking specifically of UVXY, btw.

Seems to be offering a $500 promotion (if you're accredited) for a $10,000deposit for 90 days, which ain't a bad rate for parked cash, plus whatever else you might earn on short-term money. Anyone do business with them? Legit? Caveats?

Never heard of it. Odd.

Anyone offer bonuses for transferring a plan, or is that just a regular brokerage/checking/savings thing?

Ok, I have this Solo 401k at TOS and I was wondering if any brokers out there are offering a promotion to transfer it their wirehouse. Not interested at the moment in converting to an IRA.

Never heard of them but that is a good price.

What is that money laundering prevention paperwork?

Trade Station is $1.50 plus. Anyone cheaper?

Anyone out there trade MES options @ IB? Commission? I'm partially at Schwab and thinking of moving money to IB as Schweab doesnt offer, astonishingly, VIX options or MES options.

Understood. Will ponder. Thanks.

thanks for the offer, but I'll shop around a little bit longer, I think

Will it also tell me where the futures are trading at, or is it just a wake up call. When I went to the site, I couldn't figure out if it does that. I'd also prefer a live human voice to a automated one, too, I think.

I also wonder if there are services that do this, like some answering services that use human to take the calls.

If I buy and sell a muni closed-end fund (lets say a CA one, as that's where I live) for a slight profit, in a matter of days, is my short term gain taxable?

I'm curious if there is an audio tool out there that besides being an alarm clock would tell me the S&P futures, either visually or with a voice. Perhaps some sexy voice that woke me up with "Good morning, Jim. It's five thirty and S&P futures are up 12."
