    Money gives you freedom to live your life in a manner of your choosing. Is a person who drives a new car and lives in a mansion more likable? Imparting financial responsibility to your offspring is deplorable?

    With Instant Clearing, why PDT in cash accounts?

    Maybe because some places don't use instant clearing? Or perhaps there is not enough of a cry from the industry to change the settlement policies currently in place?

    ARCA or INET - who is more liquid?

    Yes - it is amazing how many typos are produced.

    MSO: Halted & Guilty

    This is from this article: Is this guy really saying that a trader who bought the shares from the Waksals would only be hurt by the tune of 13% so therefore it is no big deal? If so, why doesn't he mention that the Waksals could have waited those few days before selling and taken the 13%...

    MSO: Halted & Guilty

    What if this guy was buying from Martha Stewart right before IMCL blew chunks? He is essentially proclaiming that insider trading rules shouldn't exist. When somebody says something like this, I have a problem taking that person's point of view seriously.

    Anyone following Jim Cramer advices ?

    You know, I would have a hard time believing any performance numbers when Cramer can add money to his portfolio anytime he wants. I remember awhile back when his stuff wasn't doing well he would just add money into the mix at random points so he could buy more. How are you supposed to...

    Any news out?

    Yep, probably one of the most irritating positions to be in is to not know your true position.

    Any news out?

    If it were only so easy... INET is probably protecting a big customer who made a big ass mistake this morning pre-market. Of course if I made the mistake I would be out of luck. Not a level playing field in this respect. The fact that a bust can come at 1:30pm on a pre-market trade is...

    ArcaEx Eliminates Listed Fees!!

    I asked IB this question and they are now treating ARCA in a similar fashion as AMEX and NYSE (in terms of odd lots). You can't initiate odd lot positions on ARCA (a 99 share order is entirely rejected, a 199 share order would only be filled for 100 shares, the other 99 would be ignored). You...

    ArcaEx Eliminates Listed Fees!!

    Given Archipelago's exchange fees here: http://www.tradearca.com/default.asp?x=1&y=2&page=/exchange/mm_fees.asp I just wanted to confirm something - if I have 150 shares of a listed stock and I sell those 150 shares to Archipelago (taking liquidity), are the 50 shares out of 150 considered...

    RealTick 7.7 TALDDE problem

    I am a RealTick user. Is there some link you can give me where it says TAL will be dumping ComStock? If this is true, what features does ComStock add to TAL that won't be there in the future?

    form 3115

    They showed at least one example of a completed form 3115. I'm not sure if they showed multiple ones, but the way in which you need to fill out the form could be inferred from this one complete example. Good luck.
