Adjusting the retirement pay portion of the retirement plan can be funded out of current earnings as it is dependent on an employees pay,longevity in the job, and a fixed future payout. Funding the health plan portion is like trying to predict the market, very risky. Boeing cannot safely...

As I understand it the basis of the options business is statistics, eg, the probability of an option expiring with any worth determines its premium.

By current law, no matter how long you hold a position, 60% of Commodity Futures profits are taxed as long term capital gains (currently 15%), and 40% are taxed as short term capital gains (currently whatever your marginal tax rate is). Assume a $10,000 net profit for the year. $6,000 @...

In the "Default Order Settings" - The "Default Amount" /Def Size combination, when set (in the STK mode) for a fixed $ value rounds the number of shares to the nearest hundred. No rounding and an odd lot amount would be a good option to add. If odd lots are not desirable then a "round up"...

How long ago was your changeover? I think Verizon understands where the world is headed and has made many changes in their approach to the digital world. Jack

Not that I'm aware of. I'd suggest you look at a TraceRoute to IB and one to eSignal. See where the diverge. Also run a Ping to both. Set up your ping for at least 4 separate runs (I forget the default). Look at the difference in times between the different tests to each location. The...

It could be your ISP or the path to IB vs the path to eSignal. You connect to your ISP via cable or DSL or dialup or satellite. Your ISP then connects to some other provider who in turn connects, etc until the route goes to a "backbone" connection. TCP/IP, the method (protocol) we use to...

DanoXP makes a good point. If I remember what I did was to ignore the disk provided with the Verizon modem and accessed it via my Browser. If I remember correctly (it's been a while) I had to connect the PC directly to the modem initially to set it up, then I was able to put the router between...

Yes. You may have to set your router to the modem IP address but there should be instructions on how to do it. Verizon has no problems (businesswise) with multiple PCs connected to one connection via a router. The Verizon modem I have is actually a modem/router, a Westell 2200. I don't...

Keep searching. There is a great deal on the web. It is not a two minute job. I'd post some links but Magna would ban me. Besides I don't want to influence your final answer by spoon feeding you just one side of the story! Jack

They were real. Do a Google for Turtle-Trading and include "Curtis Faith" , "Russel Sands", and "Michael Covel". Not wanting to get into here but you will find lots of name calling and accusations as well as backup to the existence of the Turtles. Jack

Your question is a little confusing. At Interactive Brokers if you entered a limit order for 300 shares @24.50 and enter another limit order for 200 @24.50 that would be two orders. At IB that would cost you $.01 per share, $3.00 and $2.00 respectively. If you enter a single limit order...

Had two a week ago Friday

Depending where you are going I'd look into your local phone company's ADSL offering. The former Bell system local operating companies understand that the future is digital. I was speaking with a Verizon tech who was repairing a downed 200 pair local cable and he told me that they are all...
