    Americans finally learned to become savers?

    I think that Corporations deserve ther fair share of the cedit. These soulless entities have only the profit motive driving them. Sell, sell sell is their mantra. Consumers have had this partner in overspending. And let's face it. To a certain degree, people are sheep. (although I...

    IB backfill is terrible!

    TWS is no longer workable for me. The latest snafu is that it's doubling the size of the trades in the trades window. Have to verify positions in the account window or on a trading page and hope that these are accurate. In this market it's easy for me to lose track of things and a...

    option pricing question

    No, IV is derived from the option price itself. IV is the option's market perception of future volatility not HV. There is often a correlation between HV and IV but there are many exceptions, such as nearly the entire option market right now. Looking at an extreme example. Many of us...

    Using Dial Up With TWS

    Howdy, I'm out in the country and dial up internet seems to be the most reliable. So now I'm looking for the best dial up ISP. Juno was highly rated by one report. Anyone have a recommendation? Or possibly one to avoid?

    The American way of dealing with economic problems

    Immigration policy has changed many times in this country. You would let anyone in? You would draw the line somewhere as long as your friends and family got in? You might halt immigration when we reach 500 million, a billion? I'm all for a fair immigration policy, as long as it is...

    I don't agree with all that SA posts but he is right on here. U.S. immigration policies and the resultant population explosion are ruining our country. We do not have the resources to sustain such growth. Why would the government pursue such a destructive policy - which destablizes the...
