And you get NOBEL prize for that. LoL

Your last question was directed to someone else (please refer back to the thread). When this question was directed to me, I answered immediately. Anyway, we are getting distracted from the main point. You should be thankful that people are still willing to come on H1B. If no one comes, you...

What is in there that is not understandable? It's like that Indian Govt. did everything to build a talent base but that talent base is leaving them? Also this is a business risk to them. Each Indian flying out on H1B is causing a direct loss of 2-3 outsourced jobs. Their loss, your gain :-)

Yeah, that is really none of my business. But since I belong to defendant camp, I too have say. Alien in court. Prosecutor: you can't speak because you are not an American :-p LOL Feel free if you want to live in your dream world and be happy :-) Watch the world cup between "New York -...

It's not America and I had no control over it :-) Guess you also didn't have control over your birth place. But I've paid more taxes in past 10 years than an average American pays in his life period. And about 90% of what I make goes back to the local economy (taxes, mortgages, living...

I agree, but don't you see you have more to lose if H1B is abolished. Let me re-phrase it. It should make you feel better. Pick between bad and worse. Bad: H1B people are here, and you always feel that they are taking your job. Worse: Those jobs are no longer in USA. Those H1B people...

If you move your clock 50-100 years back, you'll also find yourself an immigrant. Anyway... Companies will do what works for them. Govt. will do what gets vote for them. IRS will continue to outsource their work. And we'll always bitch about them. That is the least we can do. Oh...

So what's your point? Should US govt. make rules to force companies to hire laid-off workers for those positions? With the increased life-standard in the developing nations, this cost benefit is not very attractive. Companies usually do not save more than 20-40% by outsourcing. So they tend...

Sure we can :-)

That is why I either execute market order or leave my day order it open and let it expire. Other trick I do is to make two or more lots. Say my target buy is 10 contracts at 1.85; so I'll execute 5 contracts at market i.e. 1.90 and other 5 at 1.80 and wait. Sometime when I'm not desperate for...

Hehe - Only they can rob people. I can't take advantage of this spread. IB is very trader friendly so I was truly expecting some screwed up exchange policy behind this restriction. Happy trading all :-)

I can't generalize this but most of the folks in HR are Americans. HR, Sales, Legal etc are few area where "foreign aliens" have tough time establishing and surviving (there are few exceptions). An "American" teaching another "American" about how to avoid "American" for this opening. Can you...

I do this all the time in EQUITY. They have some weird restrictions on option contracts.

Say I've 10 contracts with avg of 1.30 ; and can't sit in front of computer whole day. This is exactly what I want. - Buy 5 more if I can get 1.15 execution. - Sell 5 if I can get 1.45 execution. Your suggested OCA will cancel other order, which is not what I want. Also IB will post me a...

What does your tax adviser do? He suggests you legal ways to avoid IRS audit. Isn't it? That is a work-around to save employers from stupid restrictions and possible query/rejection of the application. What's wrong if law firm is making you aware about possible traps. Bottom line, if you...

Exactly! Anyone who is against H1B is missing this main point. When someone comes on H1B, he also lives here, buys house, pays tax, rents cars, provides business to other local and national businesses. Someone was joking - give green card to everyone who is on H1B, housing problem will go...

Say if I'm trying to submit following order. DXD JAN 30 CALL -- BUY 1.15 DXD JAN 30 CALL -- SELL 1.45 I want to submit both side of orders and relax but IB has problem with it. Since I already have a pending buy side order on same contract they won't accept your sell order. Bad - Isn't...

Is he trying to sell you his picks? Run away...

Since I'll only trade up to 10 contracts in any given lot - IB does make more sense to me. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2664130" />
