ktm - "Can we have the option to turn off IB quotes completely by not subscribing to anything, then still have the orders process? This is a bigger deal for the wife's IRA, who will get hit $120 per year." That's an excellent idea. I'd rather just place trades with IB and get my quotes...

Ouch !! Am I going to be zapped $ 10 a month in my IB Roth IRA account ? Nothing like seeing my retirement money depleted on a monthly basis just for holding a long term portfolio. :( At the very least - I'd like the choice of paying for the fee separately from my IRA account. For example...

Good job Baron. I like the way you grouped the various subjects on the home page. It makes it easier to find what I'm looking for. It also makes it more obvious under which subject area folks should begin a new thread.

I didn't realize there was a Palestinian Internet Service. rafat - what's it like trading from that neck of the woods ? http://www.p-i-s.com/

Magna - great suggestion. :)

Careful flier - the censorship patrol may notice a post about IB and banish you to another thread. :(

gh1 - well written letter.

Sterling - re: "Between Def pushing his brokerage business" - you're exagerating now. Def is responding to inquiries from a multitude of IB (and potential IB) account holders who wish to discuss IB on the Elite Trader forum. His participation is appreciated by many. The weaknesses...

CaroKann - regarding def - "his support and expertise is much appreciated around here". Agreed.

From Baron: "IB does not support this site in any way whatsoever. In fact, you will not see a single link to Elite Trader from IB's site, despite the endless links to IB's site from this one." "we cannot continue providing a free support forum for a multi-national corporation like Interactive...

Exactly. George Soros is not out teaching a 1 day crash course and revealing his trading secrets. Many successful traders do achieve phenomenal returns but keep their trading details private for obvious reasons. If anyone knew how to make a huge return consistently - it would be a closely...

Simple... just short the stocks analysts recommend at their high e.g. Cisco, EMC etc.... and buy on the rebound. That will be $ 300 please for these wise words. I am also willing (at a price) to share my secrets to wealth at the weekly bargain basement price of $ 175 for additional...

In general - I find such claims to be ludicrous. To the extent that they are credible and shared with the general public - that negates whatever advantage ever existed.

FYI - this is the direct website - no porn. Hilarious. :) http://www.madblast.com/oska/humor_bin.swf

In the same way that various kinds of music (i.e. classical etc) may improve a traders concentration - how about food ? Is it caffeine only in the morning or do some foods give you an extra edge ? After a long day, what kind of meal gets you going for the next trading day ? My vote: KALBI...

More IB improvements coming in the future. I voted for Mutual Funds, Single Stock Futures, and US or European Fixed Income. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interactive Brokers Communiqué October 12, 2001 New Products Survey IB wants...

A critique of CNBC and Bloomberg websites. Bloomberg is rated higher: http://cronkite.pp.asu.edu/jrn494/acraig/critique.htm

stock777 - you're right. The commissions would have hurt in that case. I guess I was just a little irked at seeing a prime trading opportunity but not being able to take advantage of it.

Both my wife and I have IRAs with IB and we're very pleased. About the only downside is that we can't buy any OTCBB stock. With the NASDAQ sell off this year, there are some legitimate companies trading on the OTCBB. One of the stocks we're invested in (Exodus Communications) voluntarily...

Bravo IB - Update 721 works great !! :)
