    Any options for a guy with a successful robot?

    If you can't raise serious money yourself. maybe run the strategy at a prop shop with a 5-20k deposit. Sell your car if you have to.

    I don't get these sob stories. how do you get foreclosed after 19 years of payments?

    Some things are a *lot* cheaper at Walmart, notably certain generic prescriptions. Everything else is on a case by case basis, and you pay for the savings by the indignity of shopping there. That store is a boon for the working poor. How else are you going to make ends meet on a < $10/hour job?

    I don't get these sob stories. how do you get foreclosed after 19 years of payments?

    Umm, you get foreclosed on when you default on the loan. Doesn't matter if it's the second month or the 300th.

    Problem recovering my funds from Globus Trading LLC

    I'd be contacting the CA versions of the FBI and Secret Service. I suspect only the threat of jail time is going to get your money back.

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    One thing is all the negative press and bearish sentiment is coming from the tech press, who are mostly geeks who value price/specs more than the overall user experience. IMO, most if not all of Apple's customers would never even consider owning an Android tablet. There was even a South Park...

    You're not getting the full ride if you only replicate his long holdings. But then again, you're not paying the 2/20 so maybe its worth it.

    I dunno. The reinsurers float in invested in the Greenlight partnership. Similar to Geico float going into BRK. The reinsurance business is profitable over time, too.

    You can get exposure to Greelight through GLRE, but you have to take the reinsurer biz with it.

    IB faces the same risks as Knight Capital

    IBKR actually looks cheap now. Does the Street think they're going to blowup in some dramatic derivatives flameout?

    Anyone from Knight willing to comment?

    They're not busting all of them.

    IB - Portfolio Margin have higher requirement than Reg-T!!!

    The 6:1 seems to be illusory, what with the extra charge for concentration and no relief for long-short equity. Still much better than Reg T.
