    IB Upgrade

    I have been with IB for over a year, and very happy with the service. Never have to call. Every broker has data issue, the date has to pass from the exchange to your broker then to your ISP and finally to you.

    GOOG cornering...

    It doesn't matter if he owns 0 shares, he can always award himself more stock options to give him more stocks. You have to remember, he along with Page, Schmidt and Reyes control 60% of the voting power (class B stock). All 4 of them can own 0 shares in class A stock and still control the company.
