    Historic data for purchase on DVD?

    I think with any data the more expensive it is, the better it is. That doesn't mean the most expensive is necessarily the best, but more often than not that's what you'll find. I've used disktrading and their futures data is basically backadjusted spliced data. I'm not sure how accurate...

    iframe/Malware attacks ; Poisoned Google Searches

    I'm not an expert, but I'd go to another computer and google to find out what to do. Most likely you want a bootable program that will boot from CD and scan your PC (by booting from CD you don't worry that the program could get in memory and hide itself before the virus/malware scanner loads)...

    Feds seen entering Stanford Financial

    They were just the FBI's cricket team there for the cricket invitational tournament. Jeez, get your facts straight. Those boxes they're carrying out are their trophies, not documents.

    Disconnect between oil and RBOB?

    Anyone know why oil and RBOB have been trading so differently (heating oil as well)? Does it have to do with inventory levels? Or something else? Oil has been down the last two days while RBOB was up. SSB

    Anybody else have erroneous positions at IB this morning?

    Not that, but I found the average price of my positions was randomly updating during the day. I was short oil from 40.5 and found the average price updated to 46 randomly. This threw off all the profit/loss displays although the actual account balances were correct. I upgraded TWS (I was on...

    IB interest rate for sitting funds?

    I've seen posts on this and I realize they're available but I have several IRAs there and this seems like an awfully big pain. I'd prefer to just buy a money market fund and forget about it. I'll likely transfer half my funds to Fidelity where I can get a decent rate of return, and use the...

    IB interest rate for sitting funds?

    It is generous of IB to not pay us negative interest (e.g. charge us) for our unused funds. Also nice of them to add mutual funds but avoid any and all money market funds, so you have no chance to get any return on those funds.

    IB Connection problems

    It's a pain in the @ss but you need to google each program you don't recognize and verify it's not malware. There are many sites which list processes and what they do. You might also consider downloading process explorer from microsoft (google it) as supposedly there are ways malware...
