Interesting. So in other words, Buffet had something like $22 Million in itemized deductions! Call me crazy, but that's a whole lot of deductions that Buffet took advantage of. I have no problem with that, but frankly, did he really have to comb the tax code for that many deductions? In...

Hi chucksil: I think we're all grappling for a potential reason as to why this happened. What I'm wondering is how exactly you entered the original trades and in what order. This may have been what set up the faulty position. You said in an earlier post that you legged into some of these...

I bought the Herman Miller aeron about 6-7 years ago. Back then I got the large chair, and various options like special rollers for hardwood floor and a back support. I think I paid about $900. Very good chair, no problems with it at all. Best chair I've ever owned, still looks like new...

Sprints 4G mobile hotspot does not have a cap. OldTrader

Glad to know what I think doesn't matter. Next time you post, why don't you put that qualifier in your post...something like this: "BTW, anyone who responds to my post please be aware that what you say or think does not matter". That would have saved me alot of time. I'd say good luck to...

Interactive Brokers doesn't have to "figure out how they can make the case that they are off the hook for this". You signed account documents when you opened your account that they would not be responsible for situations of this type. And, as I read your subsequent comments, I note that you...

I guess I'm wondering about some of the other details. For instance, were you watching the trade? Did you call IB when you noticed your trade was not executing? Hard to say what the error could have been, but it certainly sounds like there was one. I'd say the only factor that you didn't...

I have Time Warner as my primary internet connection. I've been using a Sprint aircard with my laptop as back-up in case my internet goes down. I guess I've used that for 3 years or so. Recently though, I cancelled the aircard, and changed my phone to a 4G phone that I can use as a mobile...

Amazing how bwolinsky and spooz top become the most concerned about surf's position right at the top. These guys have become a signal in and of themselves. The only guy missing was eprado. There's an old trading principle...when the perceived risk is the highest, is when the potential gains...

Very true, there's a huge difference between a trade with real money on the line, versus posting a market call with no money. And, there is no way to know (by me at least) whether surf actually has the money up. But at the same time, posting a real time trade does take something. Obviously...

It's pretty clear that all you did was talk about a "successful" trade that you allegedly made, without posting it anywhere. If you're gonna talk about your latest great trade, post it somewhere or show your statement. Without that....you're just another guy talking as far as I'm concerned...

Speaking of "forthcoming", did you post a trade anywhere? OldTrader

Unlikely, not definite, seems to be an apt description of your strategy. And the fact that you don't use a stop with this strategy points to a flaw in your strategy. I am not a fan of backtesting. I think backtesting creates a false sense of confidence in what the markets can and will do...

Speaking of stops, where is your stop on this buy you made late in the day? OldTrader

More bad information. Columbus was Italian. OldTrader

Objective? LOL! Yeah, let's see, are you saying that someone invents something but then doesn't protect it with a patent? LOL! Right. Or what do you suppose folks are filing patents for, bonehead? Other than inventions. OldTrader

Put that crackpipe down bonehead. BTW, for the rest of you, let's have a few facts to prove your assertions. Right now, the only fact in this thread is that the US leads the world in international patent filings. Britain is No. 7. OldTrader

You're a complete idiot. Evidently you don't know how to read. First, this has nothing at all to do with Timberhill. Second, this is a description of how each of the "trigger" methods for stop orders works. It is not a definition of last price. It tells you what the conditions must be for...

In terms of internation patent filings, the British aren't even close. The US is the top country in 2010, and each of the last 5 years according to this report. The US dwarfs the British in patent filings, nearly 10 times as many. The British are Number 7 on the list. Here's the link...

Could you update us on what you're doing with the short from 1305? We're trading about 1312 as I type. What is price action telling you? OldTrader
