Before you get your bowels in an uproar, unless by acknowledging the "government's use" by accepting, and they download software on your system, their access to your computer would not be achieved. They would have to download an ActiveX component (or equivalent) to accomplish this. If you have...

ABSOLUTELY !! Any trading income shows up on your Schedule D. All Sched D income doesn't require SS Tax to be paid on it. To be totally on the up-and-up, just make sure that you don't claim any of your trading expenses as business expenses. Hence, you were just "trading" while you looked...

Although I'm also sure that this lawsuit will get dismissed, be aware that there are 4 major bubbles going on now in our economy: 1) Housing Bubble 2) Credit Card Bubble 3) Medical Insurance Bubble 4) College Tuition Bubble In regard to # 4, with the ever-increasing tuition levels that...

Right you are, Jack. It's all coming back now. I am in the process of writing some VB script for my EXCEL spreadsheet, which will do the trick. I need to make it more generic, but for now, I'm hard-coding things for my spreadsheet. Essentially, I'm iterating through my list of symbols...

An interesting tought, although that still won't give me the requisite # of symbols that I need market depth for (I'm assuming that using my "edemo" account would give me another 3).

Thanks, Jack. Looks like IB is rewarding their customers, who trade frequently.

Huh ??

To all, I am an IB trading and market feed user, and have built a DDE-based Excel spreadsheet that uses their market feed API, and found out that there is a limitation of accessing market depth data for only 3 ticker symbols simultanteously. Is anyone aware of any IB plans of...

Yes and no. It could be interpreted to mean that once the market opens (and the opening print is generated), that subsequent to this, a market order is generated. If it means that I get in at the opening print, then I don't understand what speed has anything to do with it. Although, and I...

Does anyone have any experience with this IB order type ? According to IB's documentation, "A Market-on-Open (MOO) order is a market order that is automatically submitted at the market's open and fills at the market price." Does this imply that once the market opens, the order is submitted...

Great book ! I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, "Dow 400,000....how inflation got us there".

I think it's more of a function of whether your broker has a yearly downloadable element that can be imported into your tax software. Since I haven't been trading for 2 years, I cannot tell you what various brokers support now, and what tax packages support which brokers - this you will need to...

The key is to let doctors get back to doctoring, and getting ridding of the middle men: the insurance companies, the HMO's, etc. These middlemen, who flourished under the Bush Administration due to decreased regulation, are the single source of why costs have gone through the roof. It will...

I know I'm in the minority here, but I thought that this book was a long, drawn-out, total waste of time.

QT support is first rate ! There are times when I have baerly clicked the "SEND" button on my Email query, and within minutes I get a lucid, informative response. They don't do everything, but for a free charting package, I find them quite awesome.

I think, like them or not, the current administration hates what America became over the last 8 years. Not sure that they will be able to undo the damage and carnage, but if I inherited this pile of manure, I would be resentful of what America has become as well.

On Yahoo, I did a search, and found 'Jim Cramer has an IQ the same as Lenny Dykstra's".

These low-ball estimates being blown away, just means that we are re-inflating the bubble. I'm still waiting for the bubble to pop - maybe late this year or next. Tread with caution here.

JP will fee the effects of the C bankrupcy announcement tomorrow. Good time to short.
