    IB Down

    Same stuff used to happen to me back in 2002. TWS side by side and if I was in a position in one acct, there were times I would get that cryptic error message "Cannot Value this Contract at This Time". Meanwhile I could enter an offsetting order in the other account.

    Real estate insiders go bearish in blogs

    Its not on the verge, its in the process of an unwinding. I dont know how carefully you follow local real estate markets, or the national picture, but inventory is skyrocketing in many locales. Residential homebuilder stocks have taken a sizeable hit since last July. I think it is somewhat...

    Where can I find S&P or Stock Market annual returns? (year by year)

    you can also just go to www.iasg.com and click on the S&P 500 or Dow. It has monthly returns for the past 25 years I believe.

    Government finds new way to take political prisoners:

    Exactly, everyone's motivated by their own self interest until their own self interest is directly compromised.

    Government finds new way to take political prisoners:

    Seriously, some vague arbitrary standard of public intoxication doesnt cut it. What's the cop going to do, go up and start a conversation with everyone in the bar to estimate their level of intoxication or simply round everyone up and ask questions later? Why dont you think this one through a...

    Government finds new way to take political prisoners:

    And what constitutes "public intoxication"? I just want to know if there is some standard applied to this preemptive action in the bars. If the police want to set up a check point outside of this bar with a mandatory breathalyzer test, it would be more palatable than a police officers decision...

    Street Smarts By Laurence Connors For Sale

    FWIW, just look at this guys post history. Seems his whole modus operandi is to sell his stash of these books. Kinda pathetic.

    March Madness Anyone?

    I'm thinking Boston College makes it to the Elite 8, maybe even Final 4. I was impressed with them before the ACC Tourney, and now more so.

    How upset does one have to be to actually type a stutter.

    Unless you're an alias of some sort, you've been here all of one month and now you're making demands?

    mtv

    And another thing... I just wish MTV would set up some alternative network and just replay each day's program in its entirety (1981-86) with the great MTV guitar riff and the astronaut putting the MTV logo on the moon. IMO, that network started to lose its original feel about the time...

    mtv

    I can still vividly remember watching MTV that first month it launched in August, 1981. I also remember Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" was a huge hit at the time and they gave that a fair amount of air play.

    Good movies you may not have heard of

    I really wanted to see that in the theatres. Unfortunately, up is down in Hollywood these days. Seems the film just couldnt be taken out of the theatres fast enough. Presumably to put in one of those teen targeted PG-13 versions of a 1970s horror film.

    Google CEO says goal to reach $100 billion annual revenue in next couple of years

    It kind of reminds me of the modus operandi of the Federal Reserve Board governors. (i.e. one week inflation is in check, the next week no end to raising rates. Whatever is needed at that moment seems to dictate the rhetoric).

    Good movies you may not have heard of

    Just off the top of my head "City of God" has gotta rank near the top. When it came out, I stumbled upon it almost by accident. With little press or publicity, I was blown away with what turned out to be one great film.

    The worst movies you've ever seen?

    Water World was probably the worst movie I attempted to sit thru. Walked out of it a few times. Along Came a Spider was pretty bad, some of the special fx were laughable. It almost looked like they ran out of money during filming. The Legend of Bagger Vance was a pretty bad film, even...
