Don't diamonds actually have a use in lasers? So it's not as if their value is completely derived from DeBeers' commercials and female materialism.

What does it mean when it says Schwab will get anyone in a hedge fund for 25K? Was that serious?

unfortunately money has far more to do with why most kids join the military than patriotism. everyone i knew that joined either had no other options or wanted direction in their lives. patriotism was just the icing on the cake. that being said, i agree that once they've signed up, they're...

LOL, sure thing. I'll get right on it.

For some reason I see that Waxie gets more respect from traders than the average huckster, which is why I said I was curious about his book. I wonder if there' s actually some substance to him.

Anyone ever read his book? I'm curious about it.

Why does the website stop reporting performance after Feb 04?

In an article posted on another thread, it says that a finance professor has quantified the risk of trading forex and arrived at the conclusion you're 125 times more likely to lose. How could he have come up with such a figure??? http://www.sfbg.com/38/16/cover_poor.html

I'm not talking about trading, I'm talking about a buy and hold mentality. Such a mentality doesn't care about profitable trades. It cares about catching the large moves over the long term, which this strategy would do. No, I'm not assuming I will always profit. This goal of this strategy...

You're right, you'll make no money in a whipsaw market. In fact, you'll lose on comission. But I'm not saying this is a good trading strategy. I'm saying that it's better than buy and hold. If you're a buy and hold investor, it's better to be whipsawed for tiny losses than to ride down a...

Thanks, I meant plain orders of US equities not through API, which apparently don't have a charge. I couldn't find a reference on the site specifically saying there was no charge.

Ver 5 fixed the problem for me as well.

Yep, I'm using Qcharts as well...must be the problem...good to know it's not my computer:p

Everytime I try to log in, my computer freezes. I thought it was something on my computer, but when I ran it on another, the same thing happened. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

It's perfectly consistent with the argument that states Al Queda was NEVER in Iraq. The argument says that Sadam and Al Queda were enemies and that Sadam wouldn't permit Al Queda, or any Islamist extremists for that matter, to operate in his country. Now that Sadam's gone, they can.

If you enter a limit or stop order, but the order never actually executes, does IB charge you anything? And if a limit or stop is never hit...do you have to cancel it for a fee? Thanks.

How the hell are all these 23 year olds getting a hold of $20k? Signed, An Envious 22 Year Old

The author said that if you want to place a big trade, e.g. 1mm shares, you have to notify the market maker in advance. Is this still true?

Genesis has a $250/month software charge per month that is waved for prop clients, but for retail clients, "there may be volume requirements." You have to email them for details...sounds shady to me (why not just post the requirement on the website???). Genesis also has a minimum ticket...
