1) If you had taken a few seconds or maybe minutes to follow the link and read what the Magic Mouse is about, you would have seen that this is not just a normal mouse which is "programmed to respond to gestures". Instead, it is a mouse with kind of a touchpad on the upper side. 2) I do, as...

You violated the customer agreement. As far as I remember, you agree to keep your login data secret and NOT give it to any other person, your girlfriend included, by signing the agreement. I understand IB here. From their point of view, you are an 'accient waiting to happen', likely causing...

Personally, I will never ever again trade on a Windows based machine. *nix only - in reality, that means OS X or Linux. At the moment, I trade from a Macbook Pro (hooked up most of the time to a 24 inch display). The only problem is that good charting applications are still rare (read...

Where is marketsurfer? :D

Priceless.

Maybe, but the conversion rate is almost meaningless. The market will soon move to a price near the 'true' value of the stock. There is indeed a historic example for this: The currency reform after the 1920s hyperinflation in Germany.

Yes.

In fact, TWS ist not SO bad. And I have no problem with additional features, as long as they do not interfere with mission critical functions, like placing and transmitting orders. In one of the more recent versions, IB introduced a contract and dollar size limit for orders. While this...

Yes, this may be the case. However, it will not happen in the next 4 years. Why? Because Germanys newly elected government strongly opposes such a tax - there is already a statement out there in which Merkel calls this proposal "absurd". And, without Germany, the largest economy...

These "news" come up from time to time, this is going on for about 5 years now. If you dig deeper, sources are exclusively press releases by anti-virus vendors.

One only has to pull up a 30+ year chart of gold and view the action of the last 1,5 years in context. While most commodities have reatreated sharply from their recent (2008) long-term highs, gold has not. Instead, it has formed a major consolidation above its 1980 high. This alone should...

I think it's a classic case of 'sell the rumor, buy the news". Why? Because the IMF has declared it's intention to sell part of its gold reserves 18 months ago. If you look at the chart of gold, you will see that the current consolidation also started about 18 months ago. Pure coincidence...

No, I won't defend Europe because I think your're right (but one could argue about the exact timing). IF the current trend continues. But, as we as traders know, it could reverse anytime due to unforeseen events. Regarding banking in Europe: I wouldn't say "quality" is worse than in US, but...

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Runnng Bootcamp has the serious disadvantage that you can only run Windows applications at the time. If you use a virtual machine, you can run Windows and OS X applications side by side. No need to use Windows, if it's not totally unavoidable. I find the extreme...

I use eSignal with VMware Fusion. Works fine (or, at least, not worse like on a real Windows machine). I tried Investor R/T, but don't like the crowded look and feel of it. But, indeed, it would be nice if more software developers would recognize the demand for a native, real-time OS X...

I've just read the (pro-tax) comments and I'm overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stupidity and ignorance. No basic knowledge abouts economics, no basic knowledge about financial markets, no knowledge about arithmetics. Nothing but a big loud mouth shouting "tax them, tax them!" Disgusting.

Even if they are performing well, it could be nothing more than luck. The reverse is also true.

You have chosen rules which performed well on historical data. This is the text book definition of data mining.

So, you're now a TREND FOLLOWER? :D

There is no minimum wage in Germany (and never were). So much about the theory. :D
