I keep one account (out of four) with Scottrade purely for the check writing & ATM/debit card. Gainskeeper is also good and I only found one error since they added it. Send them a note through the website and they will correct it. As for freezing up, I use the Elite platform and it's fine...

I hear ya! I closed my YI position out 11/06/07 at $15.44 Look what she's done overnight! Damm!!

I do, all day long:cool:

I hardly watch it any more but I just tuned in and it seems much sharper than normal. Same fuzzy reporting though.

That BS stopped me out of my call position! :mad:

14.63 resistance in YI just taken out. Added to position here.

Actually, they are more of a hedge against inflation, or the falling dollar, than they are against the stock market.

I don't trade stocks either, hence the call position. I trade futures as well, but not stock futures except for stock index futures.

I grabbed a Call position. It could gather some MoMo.

Also, no unsettled funds to wait for in your margin account.

When your stop order gets hit in a fast moving market you will learn what slippage is.

For the first time in 3 years I am 100% FLAT! (Say for a Dec. Gold position) Sold all of my long positions on Friday to protect the profits I was holding. I'm not a doom and gloomer but on Friday (Oct 19) as the market kept falling, I couldn't stop remembering the 1987 clip of Marty Zweig (sp?)...

Spoken like Maria Bartiromo. Why is it not looking good? Money can be made when the market moves, in any direction. Maria is gonna be so sad tommorow...LOL!
