    Best Firm for Stocks, options, futures, and FX

    I have looked quite a bit and can't find what you are looking for. OptionsXpress has (had) something close but their java based system is (was) garbage; always failing. Also their P/L provides false data if you have more then 1 trade on a position. I spent more time fighting their system then...

    Key West / Florida Keys... Any traders down there??

    Something to look out for on condos down here- If there are high vacancy rates, there could be special asessments to make up for lost revenue in the condo association. It's happening. Short sales are a plenty, but take more time to close. I know people on both sides of short sales and the...

    Troubles with Scottrade..

    You're the boss. Fire them! I have done it many times. Scottrade, then Schwab, then OptionsXpress, then TOS. I'm happy today. I choose not to say where I trade today but so far so good about a year with them now. Some scary moments but no damage to date. We're all looking for the lesser of all...

    Key West / Florida Keys... Any traders down there??

    Plenty of wind, yes. Moreso in the winter throughout the state. Summer mornings before storms can be flat (great time to get offshore fishing). Storms come early in the day on the east coast and later in the afternoon on the west coast. In the keys they're pretty much at random. Windsurfing is...

    Jokes 2

    Throw their asses out of that house I am paying for, cut off the cash and foodstamps, and see how fast their freeloading ass gets to work. Plus they're morbidly obeese which means the free medical we give them is costing us mucho more.

    Key West / Florida Keys... Any traders down there??

    The difference among the various keys is like the differences among different countries as you travel. Por Favor - Key Largo is nearly 100% tourism and diving. It's at the top of the keys. That's where Flipper was filmed (if you've ever seen this program on Nickelodeon). Great place for...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Sorry about the week long lapse here. A friend died last week and now its back to the grinding stone. I looked at what each of us has done and see where we were using different logic. You were pretty much using the logic of one of x qty possible remaining cards out of y qty cards remaining in...

    Jokes 2

    Last night I watched Mabe in America on CMT for the first time. I have not laughed so hard since smoking pot in college, and still I don't remember laughing this hard. One thing I recall was this: Mabe calls an insurance company and says "How much would it cost to get some life insurance...

    DEll Precision T3400

    Makes lots of sense. You can either see if Dell tells you in the specs what slots are available, or call them. They work for you. Make them earn their dollars. Good luck with your new system.

    Oil Trader bankrupts SemGroup

    At .5M bpd it does not take much movement to do lots of damage. Looks like they took a big short position somewhere near the gutter and it went up on them.

    Wells Fargo Fudged Their Numbers

    Their CFO on CNBC said they "did a good job hedging their risks in the quarter" That tells me they shorted the shit out of lots of stuff and timed it quite sucessfully. It does not tell me that they made a nickel on their core business; if anything they just offset losses quite sucessfully.

    Intervention to save the dollar

    I trade fx regularly. I have been seeing some movements contrary to fundamental which appears to be intervention. It would not surprise me if Hank has his people trading in an effort to protect the 71 line on the dollar and also intervene when things get wacky.

    Power Supply fan

    I took the advice of seeing if Dell sells the fan; they do not and it only took them 2.5 hours for them to tell me that. They're getting better at failure. I'll pick up a fan and get it fixed. Thanks to everyone for the help. This forum is great.

    Bushism

    Bush inherited a much better economy then Clinton did. Bush inherited the best economy any president has ever walked in to. Bush came into office in 2001 and the recession started in 2002. Of course you give up, because there is no defending the idiot. Welfare-to-work was started by Bill...

    Power Supply fan

    My power supply fan is talking to me from time to time in an old yet very nice Dimension. Has anyone ever heard of replacing the fan only in lieu of wasting a whole power supply? If yes, where can I buy the fan?
