Really? I think the problem is all the idiots following people around to dog them continuosly. This is what's turning this site from a place to discuss trading/investing into another freaking high school b!tchfest. TNG

Why do you say that? It seemed fairly accurate to me.... TNG

Trying to find a thread that isn't bombarded by bickering! Where have YOU been?!?!?! TNG

I don't understand your first question. Why would they use fractional reserve banking when they use fiat currency? In my mind, it's one or the other. If you have a fraction of anything as a reserve, it's fractional banking. Otherwise it's fiat. To your second question... why would that...

Awesome, I used to like your posts... :P TNG

I'm sure i've read 1000+ "risk free trading" posts and so on, but it's not exactly like he's a menace to this site, all things considered. Meh, on with the bickering.... TNG

There are hundreds of "investors" here, what's your problem with him? TNG

Their API is horribly documented (imho) and the only support that I'm aware of is a really user-unfriendly forum on their site. Having said that, however, it's not really that hard to figure it out if you have experience. TNG

That's a tough one. You caught the high of the bar that signalled more was to come, imho. I calculate pace throughout the day, so I caught FRG a little later than you, and held it into today. FWIW, I find that AMEX stocks take a little longer to get going with the hershey system then...

I have no idea what the reason is, but there are a group of people who at the first sight of something negative towards IB come in with the cannons blazing. Like they have never had a problem.... At any rate, here is a summary of my experiences, maybe this will help. - Chat connects maybe...

I didn't have SYX in DU yesterday, but it does look like a nice BO imho.... TNG

This thread is getting ridiculous. I wasn't "stuck" in any trades, so I really couldn't care less, but the attitudes of some people here are really astonishing. Do you people (and SethArb, I'm not refering specifically to you) think that the broker should be accountable for NOTHING? They tout...

yup, and i agree it sucks. If i had another option that offered me the variety of products IB does I'd leave, for sure. However, I can't find one. TNG

Funny, and now all my IB stocks are back...lol TNG

No, all our other systems stayed up. When they say "due to problems at the exchange" it can either mean a problem on Amex's end, or a problem with THEIR connection to Amex, imho. I have watched numerous times my IB plaform unable to trade while numerous other platforms around our office had no...

Is it just me or is the chat almost always impossible to get into? Some days I try for hours, and never get in. And yeah, the AMEX thing sucks. TNG

1. I believe it did, but I don't have a copy in front of me at the moment. I specifically remember the author refering to John commenting on "the sharks of wall st smelling blood" or something like that. Commodities are zero sum, there's no way around it. ANY position that they lost on...

1. Whether they instantly made money or not, a very large part of the LTCM meltdown was due to collaboration on wall st. (and other financial centers around the world). I believe this to be a fact, but of course I do not have proof otherwise I'd probably be involved in the case. I have...

1. The big banks that backed LTCM were hurting, but the funds that ganged up on LTCM were have a FEAST. It explains that in the book. 2. Russia made out like a bandit on the deal. Zero sum. 3. I'm not sure what your point on the last item is, but of course value can dissappear (same...

What are her measurements? :D :D TNG
