Sorry I must have missed the reference.:confused: :confused:

I've learned that when a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with the experience ends up with the money and the man with the money ends up with the experience.

Are you telling me to fuck myself?

It is a somewhat ambiguous regulation that is open to interpretation by individual brokers. But most brokers when it comes to regulation tend to play it on the conservative side. So yes they probably could do you that favor but i doubt they would. As far as freeriding goes, that is usually...

:D :D :D I dont have any laying around any more but that came from an old Series 24 book.

You do need to get the other party to agree to T+1. On most brokers order entry platform ( I mean a full service broker whose platform is essetially like an order ticket) there is an area to specify special settlement terms.

The settlement of all those transactions is going to happen at the same time. So your broker may choose to allow you to do that based on the fact that they know and can monitor what your balance(equity) will be at settlement. If they did that they are essentially doing you a favor. If the net...

Who did you actually contact. I cant imagine not getting any response from my firm. I responded to both of your posts (1 by PM) and I didnt even think you were trying to contact me. As our firm does not generally back traders.

If I would have seen that I could have saved the 10 minutes it took me to write this thing. Thanks for posting it. Very comprehensive.:cool: :cool:

How about adding a spot for MSN messenger handle in personal info area?

Lost for Words I was spending my time in the duldrums I was caught in a couldron of hate I felt persecuted and paralysed I thought that everything else would just wait While you are wasting your time on your enemies Engulfed in a fever of spite Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades...

Got any cash?

Island is back up.

Not in the last few days but in general over the last few months I certainly have.
