    Bernanke's Play = Monetizing the Debt

    Great, everyone in debt will be bailed out. All those who bust their ass and save will be screwed. And then who's going to bail out the country's debt?

    Outstanding Negative balances at Trading Joints..

    Well to me it sounds logical that anyone who you owe money to that is past due has a right to report it to a credit bureau.

    Password Security question

    Just checking now it does look like the yahoo login page is encrypted, but whatever you do after you log in is not. So they can't get your password, but they can see everything you do after that.

    Password Security question

    speed / security. Though with PC's today you won't notice the speed difference at all. I have several other brokers that don't even have the option of shutting off the encryption and I'm not sure why IB does.

    Password Security question

    As long as you're not joining their domain (which gives them full control of your box) and your broker's software uses some sort of encryption you should be ok. IB for example has a check box to use SSL for all transmissions. You'd have to check with your broker to make sure they support...

    Best Broker for IRAs

    The law states you can't have trades with undefined risk. So it's a margin account with some limitations (ie. no short selling). But otherwise it acts like a margin acount. TOS has the same deal. you can even short puts as as they're cash covered.

    CNBC/WSJ/MSNBC debate

    Then you should try to find the book interview that he did with John Stewart just last week. Stewart ripped him a new one so hard he didn't even know what hit him. Edit: found it http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/player.jhtml?ml_video=104548&is_large=true

    IB Update speed on futures bid ask size insane today?

    Is there any way to configure update speed? Faster is usually better except when I need to trade through a remote connection. Then it just makes things sluggish.
