    Comcast usage price increase.

    It is old news. Comcast is just now getting around to sending out the notice. This could be a problem for me running TWS and QuoteTracker for 5 days a week.

    If the US government had been run for the last 10 to 20 years by Peterffy and the staff he would have appointed, the USA would not be in the financial mess we find ourselves.

    TDAmeritrade & Reserve Primary saga

    As of 9-24-08, for the private investors in the remaining states, UBS has done nothing, made not commitment, and entered into no agreement. So far it is only talk as investors statute of limitations slip away for filing a law suit. UBS is a Swiss bank and the Swiss do not give anything back that...

    TDAmeritrade & Reserve Primary saga

    I so far have received only 25% of my capital that I have in the ARPS market. I may never see the balance. I can thank UBS for getting me into the ARPS. I also had money in the Primary Reserve Fund but got that money out prior to the default.

    TDAmeritrade & Reserve Primary saga

    97 cents on a dollar is great when you consider what could have happened. Just be glad you did not have your life savings in the Auction Rate Preferred Markets where some may not get their money back for 30 years or never.

    Comcast started throttling me!

    Got a notice from Comcast today that October 1 is the day for the 250gb monthly limit to take effect. I hope this will not be a problem with my IB TWS and QuoteTracker (with 14 tick charts) running 9:30 to 4:00 5 days a week).

    IBKR falling

    Jesse Livermore would say to never buy something because you think it is cheap but only if the time is right for it to move up. I do not know about the time line, but I do think IB is a good choice for a longer time period. I added to my IB position yesterday.

    Cloning a hard drive

    I have been using drive to drive cloning for years on all of my computers and it has saved my ass many times. I use removable HD bays and Western Digital cloning software which comes with every retail box WD hard drive. I think all hard drive manufactures have free software for drive to drive...

    Openecry purchased by Optionsxpress -- uh oh?

    Since when can managers leave well enough alone. They just need a little more time and then they will implement their desired changes. I do not think those changes will be good for the client. Since a client can have a vote with their feet, I would also use the wait and see policy.

    Worst TWS Yet?

    I go one step further. I have TWS on two machines plus when in doubt about the integrity of a TWS new release, I clone my hard drives prior to updating TWS so I can roll back to the clones as easy as changing a floppy disk.

    Worst TWS Yet?

    I installed TWS 885.5 and when I opened TWS all of my TWS windows that were previously on monitor 10 were moved to monitor 1 (the primary monitor). I can drag the 3 windows to monitor 2 but when I try to drag them to any other monitor, they jump back to monitor 1. Does any one have a solution to...

    Antivirus advice urgently needed....

    I have been using AVG paid version for 6 years and in that time AVG has never found any thing. However, I have had a few problems caused by anti-virus software. I am on the internet every day but I am very careful about what I click on or download.

    MBTRADING problem....

    I have yet to see a data feed that did not lag in fast markets. Data feeds have lagged in fast markets since the days of the chalk boards, ticker tapes, Quotetrons, or whatever. Nothing has changed except the method on delivery.

    IB-standalone version?

    There was a bug in TWS 883 that screwed up my whole main TWS 883 page and made it unusable. IB was unable to find or duplicate this problem until I sent IB my tws.xml file. IB then saw the problem and found the bug. The bug was fixed in TWS 884.3. It does seem strange that a TWS page layout bug...

    TWS 884.3 or 882 JAVA 1.5.0_13 Windows 2000 Both TWS versions running great. I like the look 884.3 Classic a bit more than 882.

    Did Jesse Livermore use Interactive Brokers?

    Five million in 1940 was a big chunk of change. From what I have read, there were additional assets that his wife Harriet was able to hide from the official records of his assets at death. Jesse spent a lot of money, lived the high life and left most of his fortune to his second wife Dorothy...
