Seems like a pretty good way to get the big institutional investors (i.e: pensions, mutual funds, etc), to hold and sit. Apple can't be a growth stock forever and I'm sure they know that.

Did you smack the complain button? That's worked every time I've used it...

I would say irresponsible credit users are the parasites. Credit is a tool, nothing more and nothing less.

If you see a Reg-T margin call on your TOS platform, make sure you contact the accounts desk before you go all crazy and start liquidating (yes, I know they'd do it for you if it was real). It seems they have an error in the system right now that doesn't recognize your account cash. Just...

hahaha, damn skippy. I'm in the same boat. I'm going to use this even after they start reporting the cost basis stuff just in case they make an error. It's no skin off their nose if they mess up, after all.

What if your friends are gay and hipster and hang on your every word? Bang, now they all own the new iPad12 and you are elevated to uber-tool status...

I guess I wasn't specific enough. It's actually just a short iron condor with a 4 month time frame. If you go on TOS analyzer and throw in the strikes you've mentioned with an Iron Condor selected, you'll get the risk/reward numbers you mentioned (or pretty close). Depending on whether you...

It's called an Iron Condor.

That's quite bizarre. Did you talk directly to the funds & banking people? I find it very odd that in this day and age that someone can "lose" an electronic transfer.

Easier to drive a move in the after hours?

You seem to be posting quite a bit for someone whose first post was "This is my first and last post because trading ruined my life" http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=238087

I recently did a withdrawal without too many hitches. Is the destination account the exact same name as the IB account? I think that tends to throw them in to a tizzy if they don't match exactly. Also, did you use an ACH? If you put the wrong method in to your instruction, it just sits...

How can they tell this was one trader if the orders came in piecemeal like that?

I think you need a fourth chart to make your point...

Competition from the big coffee boys... http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowatchtoday/2012/03/08/starbucks-single-cup-brewer-pushes-stock-past-52/?mod=yahoobarrons

Saving money, creating jobs, what's not to like? http://www.break.com/index/our-blades-are-fing-great.html

You may want to take a look at something called a "Chandelier" stop which was conceived by Chuck Lebeau Basically it's a volatility based stop which trails off the extreme price of a movement (highest high for long, lowest low for a short). It's not perfect, but it can help you keep a decent...

I don't know that the referenced article is much in the way of a smoking gun, but I do know I wanted to put a boot in his smug prick face when I saw the little tidbit on him in the TV series a few years back.

I can really only speak about the Russell related ones (TWM, TZA) and this is over the last 9 months or so. On a daily basis, it's pretty much spot on (as designed). I don't even look beyond 3 months as it really loses track (take a look at a 2 year chart and note the difference). It's...
