    Do you tip?

    I would think a couple of bucks here and there would be insignificant to all us super-rich traders, no? I tip, more if the service is truly good but there have been times I have left nothing if the service is exceptionally bad, like if I have to wait 20 minutes to get my bill settled...

    If I recall, it shows up as negative accrued interest on your "account" window in TWS.

    Cities & Townships Are Getting HAMMERED w/Lost Property Tax Revenue

    Well here in my county in the people's republic of Maryland when property values declined they responded by raising the rate 8%, god forbid they cut some of their "essential" workers or stop running some of their handout centers for illegals. Is that just common sense?

    Whether an options writer or buyer has better edge? Why?

    I disagree. There is no inherent edge in either strategy.

    Get ready for your electric/gas bill to double

    Okay maybe that explains it most of the people I know are officers or REMF's. I can see how those directly in harm's way, on multiple tours with minuscule leave, and a seemingly endless mission with a shadowy enemy and dubious rules of engagement would vote for someone they think will not...

    Get ready for your electric/gas bill to double

    Do you have any kind of evidence for this statement? Surely you do not claim to know what every single military person stationed overseas is thinking. I know a lot of military people and that is not the figure I would put it at, in my experience the people in the military in general fall along...

    Get ready for your electric/gas bill to double

    Reading about this legislation I keep thinking about the movie Apocalypto, I don't know if anyone else saw it but it is strongly suggested in the film that the elite sitting at the top of the temple know exactly when the solar eclipse will come and know that the human sacrifices have no effect...

    Naked ATM call now waaay OTM...

    If you don't mind me asking, how much of a percentage of your strategy is the commission on hedging costing you?

    Message to rich people, here is what even you don't get

    Okay this post has me a little confused, at the end you say you can't work a simple job and keep your expenses low, but that is exactly what you had done and had saved 55 thousand dollars. You started a few businesses that failed (trading is a business) - well most businesses fail. Maybe you...

    Macintosh's are NOT inherently secure

    Macintosh's are NOT inherently secure

    I read the page, there are plenty of flaws for the core system, depending I guess on your definition of the core system for *nix systems - just kernel or networking utils, X11 etc. I figured someone would bring up the third party stuff being in there, point is 3rd party is a common attack...

    Macintosh's are NOT inherently secure

    I'm trying to dispel the myth out there that many misguided computer users have that if they switch to a Macintosh suddenly their security worries are over. In my opinion Apple's marketing and some Mac users' cult like devotion to the company are responsible for most of the propaganda. I am...

    article: Millionnaires Go Missing

    Found an interesting article in the Bmore Sun that claims it is Maryland's asinine estate tax that is causing them to move out, not the income tax. Read past this d-bag columnist's leftist smarmy crap and check out what the client's lawyers are saying...

    Economics Reporter @ NYT Nearly Gets Foreclosed - He "Should Have Seen It Coming"'

    I feel the same way as you, I grew up here also and would leave if it was up to me. So many 'carpetbaggers' for lack of a better word.

    Economics Reporter @ NYT Nearly Gets Foreclosed - He "Should Have Seen It Coming"'

    Turns out that these people live really really close to me, like walking distance. You simply would not believe the amount of overpaid policy analysts, middle managers, lobbyists, lawyers and the like that make Montgomery County their home. The vast majority of them have a sense of self...

    Credit Card Companies Plan On Punishing Cutomers Who Don't Carry Balances

    Just spent 2/3's of my rewards points today, bought some trading books amongst other things. I don't trust that they are not going to F with the points ala the government with retirement acounts and social security.
