I can't take it anymore ... I am using OEC as a secondary brokerage since IB does not provide access to MGEX, KCBOT, ICE Canada and a few other exchanges, but their platform does not support basic things I've seen with every other broker I've used (the OEC trader software is slick but missing...

You forgot MF Global. Trading is free, they make their money by stealing your money....

From what I read (and that's only as good as the source....) IB was trying to buy it until it saw hundreds of millions missing .... it might be worth overpaying for bankrupt assets to get customers, but not taking on unknown liability from Corzine....

So you're using signals from IBD and charging people money on C2? Why wouldn't they just use the signals themselves? Why pay a middleman to read a newspaper for them every day?

If you don't like the way IB does liquidations, either go to another broker or stop using too much leverage! How is this IB's problem? IB does not have a monopoly, go to another broker. I suggest you try MF Global, they won't auto-liquidate you....

I just want to thank jayre and options12 for the comedy. You guys have a nice future as congressmen ... make accusations, ask leading questions (and then answer them) and take no responsibility for your actions (and assume nobody should take responsibility for their actions). You guys rock...

What do you think will happen to Rajaratnam in jail? It won't be a cane but his ass will be involved....

If the choice is a 2 year note or my mattress I don't know which I'd pick... Wasn't it longer term debt that was downgraded but short term debt was reiterated at AAA?

So where do you put the proceeds from selling all your stocks? The same bonds that got downgraded? Short term bonds? Under the mattress???

USPS could achieve a 33% cost savings by having only 2 people (instead of the usual 3) stand behind the counter doing nothing and chatting while the line stretches out the door....

So let's hear the predictions. Is this good or bad for bonds? For stocks I see a likely gap down and green close as Bernanke opens his man bag. Bonds I don't know...

What about LEH?

Apparently now OEC does have FA style accounts. I'm not sure about weekends but I am setting up an API based app to handle order submission for me so that won't be an issue. SSB

....if it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck...and wears a white hood, then it must be a tea partier!

There's always a market, just maybe not at the prices they want. I'll buy ALL bonds they have to offer at $1 each, but I'm guessing they're not selling....

Fidel, I told you before, daytrading is a loser's game. Stick to swing trading like your brother... :D
