actually Banks can and do buy securities that are not AAA. Banks and Brokerages also rate ie Goldman, BOA, City even still will up or down grade a stock. If they wish to purchase less than x quality there are always subsidiaries or branches or funds under their umbrella that will allow this...

I'll ditto that. Charts are simply math and trading has everything to do with math. Every move outside the normal? (if one can say that) breathing or beta creates a situation where we must come back to some form of normality to trade, which is math be it bollinger, parabolic, stochastic, ma...

you can not send funds from any 3rd party source if the account is not the account holders. it falls under rico and money laundering rule w

The problem with a one day or two moritorium on trading is that the Institutions, offshore funds would have a hay day with the light volume and could seriously hurt the day trader further. What would work was to have a the traders go flat and not trade as Entities like myself have options...

we have the same issues and noticed all stocks with 2 or 3 symbols did not have bid / ask for part of the morning and rebooting did not bring it back. Came back after Bernanke was speaking which was after 10 a.m. Our tws went pink today again several times in the early afternoon and has been...

not having that issue and please forgive me using your post to ask a question. some of the traders here are trading es and when they open es we keep seeing a block of contracts on bid and ask but we are occassionally getting flash blocks on the bid above the ask so we are having 2 blocks of...

Old trader, you get pissed at posts that are not favourable to you and you tell one to act like an adult. How about doing the same by first discerning what you read. You really need to read my post(s) and digest it before spitting out bs that is not even relevant. ie... your dog comes over...

you need to read the balance of the sentence, where I stated they over ride your account manually. this is in reference to the account being automatically being done. w

you read my post wrong, I am saying that the liquidate last and their statement that they will automatically liquidate one if one is out of compliance is a joke. Because it does not happen it is at their discretion. the liquidate last option is that, an option telling IB which you perfer...

imo this is and has been a short squeeze over all last few days. the initially move and then consolidation of a few points and the moment we start to sell of a point or two and shorts come on they / the new shorts get squeeze. 'we are not getting any retracement that would overall be profit...

we have and resemble the above, many times. IB has so many features that are bs and have no value as they do not even acknowledge the items that to me is a major issue. their liquidate immediately if compliance is breached is a joke, they override your account manually, liquidate last is a...

Municipal bonds, state bonds. in Nassau a few year back when the 2nd PI bridge was being built the return was above par. I am researching now some of the infrastructure in the US like roads, bridges, canals etc to compare. Also you will find some of the Switz Banks offer approx. 2-3 points...

this has been an issue for years but usually is associated with a merger, reverse split or an option stock being fed to the trader. It has takens wks before we received an average price and IB position is that it is our responsibility to know our position and average price. w

I would be more interested in seeing the dates on the cheques to validate they were executed after vs believing the gov't who wants to put him in pretrial. Obviously this would not be the first time the gov't brought evidence forward late or at their convenience. not that I am agree with...
