Wow I am surprised that only 51% expressed negative attitudes. I was so sure that it was higher than that. Considering the history of the US, that is actually a good thing in my opinion.

Remember, lying to the american people is not a crime...if it were congress would have replaced almost every member several times over in the last few years. Those against OBama will have to vote him out. The president would have to directly lie to congress or a judicial body while under oath...

The neighborhoods in Detroit are falling apart, but the downtown has been making a come back. Lots of suburban whites are moving downtown into lofts and newly renovated apartments, especially near Comerica park and Ford Field. Right now real estate even downtown is very cheap and it is amazing...

Just remember that parties often begin the re-alignment process when things shift against them radically. Rand Paul was recently speaking about the republican party taking on a more libertarian tone in states such as California and New York and New England, as a possible way to make in roads...

The news is reporting that the statement was issued well before the attack? From the Embassy in Cairo?? WTF?? Romney fucked that one up badly!!!

Is anyone else trading at WTS paying only .35 per 1000 shares? I was just curious if there were any other requirements with a commission rate that low? What is their payout percentage? I am curious if the deal that the person who started this thread mentioned is standard or not?

.35 per thousand shares sounds like a really, really cheap commission rate. Are you sure about that rate? Its not $3.50 per thousand shares? Are they expecting you to trade a certain number of shares each month in order to maintian that commission rate? A $200 desk fee is well worth a...

Usually when someone argues for the Federal govt to ban semi-automatic "assault" weapons they fail to realize that it is not as simple as it seems to even define them properly. That is why the "1994 Assault weapons ban" used purely cosmetic items to define them. Items such as flash suppressors...

Those mobs attacking whites, asians and gays are probably encouraged by class warfare speeches and such, but the origin of their behavior is the fact that they have no proper upbringing. They were not raised to respect anything or anyone and neither were their friends and fellow gang members...

If each of you send me 1000 euros I will go to Africa. I promise.

Assuming that you do not have the $25,000 you can also open up multiple margin accounts at different brokerage firms. This will allow you to do more day trades in a 5 business day period than having just one account at one firm.

On Friday I bought a bunch of FB July 29 strike puts. As of the close I was up .30 on them, but I believe that FB could fall to 20 by the end of June. There will probably be some days that it trades positive as there will be short covering opportunities, but I think that the serious buyers...

Maybe those Neo Nazis and the Black Panthers can have a big Battle Royale and everyone else can watch. Instead of rioting, everyone can watch them beat the hell out of each other. Let the most extreme elements settle this on both sides. I was surprised that the Neo Nazis even showed up as...

The Whitehouse probably wants to prevent some of the Cartels from targeting her. It can be very dangerous in Mexico.

I am sure they must have gone on more vacations than that. That list seems pretty meager.

"Cash needed to pay bills" usually works. Some firms have tried to use the PAtriot Act to require very specific reasons for wire transfers. As others have stated using the ACH transfer may get around this.

That is where my thinking was wrong. Thinking the cost of the trade was seperate from the margin maintenance requirement on a debit spread. Thanks for the education rmorse.

I had not done a spread trade in a very long time, but I am looking at an old margin handbook from Ameritrade, before they became TD Ameritrade and they list the margin requirements on a debit spread as follows: "The initial and margin maintenance requirments are calculated by multiplying the...

I was used to seeing both debit and credit spreads having a margin requirement. Recently I was entering debit spreads on a platform that clears thru Penson and noticed that they were not holding margin against the debit spreads and even allowed me to enter an order that I did not have enough...
