You are perfectly hedged in a vertical spreads, there is no way you could lose more than you already paid for the options. You have every right to get IB to restore your options to you and cancel all their crazy cancellations. Please do post any outcome you have with your dealings with IB in...

Traders who shorted just before a stock felt 60%, and covered when it has felt more than 60% are now screwed - esp when the stock might recovered over 90% of the loss!! Same goes for those who long when it was 61 % down, showed it for some gains above 60% cut off. if they long trade is...

Exactly, go to a real college. A community college is better than these expensive online fakes. It is easy to take class at a community college here. Almost anyone gets in. It is very inexpensive. Aid is available to those who do it full-time. You can do it part-time in the evening if you...

For two and half years, companies cut their staff to a skeleton crew. There is little more to cut when it has cut to the bones. If they are truly confident, they will be hiring, not just laid-off fewer workers. Employments numbers may look good due government hiring mostly part-time very...

If you are not making this up, so what there are a few exceptional enterprising individuals out there. It doesn't change the fact that something isn't quite right when ordinary (not exceptional) citizens who are willing to work hard are not able to find some livelihood. Please stop bashing...

You are assuming there will be jobs for all of those who want a job. The only jobs that is available to some people are MLM or commission-only sales and telemarketing jobs in which very few can even make a simple living.

Government workers are a privileged class in most places. They have job security and better retirement and other benefits than those doing similar work in their locale.

I just watched it, very informative. These for-profit colleges spend a lot more on marketing than on education. They also spend huge amount on lobbying. The combination of high fees and poor-quality fast-food like assembly line type "education" produce good profits. Very low or no...

Exactly!

Buffet now is on the side of Goldman Sacks - get rid of all invididual traders so that big banks have monopoly in these trades. Buffet has joined the Goldman Scum!

I don't advocate extending unemployment benefits. Perhaps if welfare or workfare should be available to those who can't find work, so that they shall have some basic shelter and food. Let them have some trailer to live in, not homeless on the streets.

Exactly! Those who are not currently looking for work have no idea what it is like to be looking for work these last couple of years. There are too many job seekers - some very well-qualify for the jobs they are applying, and too few real job openings for anyone.

Some are tourist here spending their money providing jobs to local folks.

Okay, I use the term "done far" in response to an earlier post. There many things a person in decent health can do: 1: Get a cheap camper as a home to help survive on odd jobs. 2: If you still have some funds, relocate to a cheap country. 3. Apply for Peace Corp if you are too old to...

What was the name of the company?

It may be BS if you are young. For older workers, time is running out. Many Employers simply do not want older workers. Positive thinking won't change that fact! P/S - I am working (temp work) and I do not get any fantastic 99 week benefits. However, I do see for too many, jobs...

I agree that 99 weeks of benefits is a long time. Few would accept a job that pay less than their benefits and I don't blame them. A compromise would be allow more people to go on welfare instead of extending these benefits forever. Welfare is for basic survival so the jobless can eat and...

What made u think Home Depot or Lowes is hiring where he is? If any of these places is hiring, there would be a long line of applicants! Perhaps many of the unemployed are all done! By the way, many new grads from a year ago are not finding jobs. These kids are not on unemployementt...

How many were laid off each month? There doesn't seem to be enough jobs to go around all those who wanted a job.

How many of these are "management trainee" jobs that are really commission-only sales jobs? And other jobs with such exact experience requirement that few can meet. A friend went back to school. Last year, she graduated from 4-year nursing program. Now they said she does not have nursing...
