    WEB Station

    Personally I think this is better than sliced bread. I think it would be even better if I had some clue how this would be useful. Are they also going to get someone to fix the text on their homepage, it looks like a google translation from Flemish: <i> Every day of our life makes us closer...

    Trading for years, laid off day job, can I still collect unemployment?

    I have to agree with the sentiment that the people at the unemployment office have no f**king clue what they're doing. Especially in NJ. But I think this carries over to most states. That said the racist part is a little over the top. There is no one group of people with a monopoly on...

    trading systems vendor?

    Yes and no. they definitely have the survivor bias problem. That said there are some systems there with a nice profit curve and history going back 3-4 years, some of them daytrading. Very unlikely to be just luck, they are solid systems. Expensive though.....

    trading systems vendor?

    Duh! Nobody knows which will be profitable, but just due to random luck a certain number will be. Everyone ignores the unprofitable systems and focuses on the profitable ones. I've never been to strategy runner's website, but this is definitely the case at collective2. They have 8000+...

    New COMCAST 50MB Speed

    Awesome. Now if I want it, will the comcast guys still take 5 tries before a tech actually keeps an appointment? And then will they send some dude who barely speaks English and screws up the wiring. Or you could just get FIOS, and they can install it on the 3rd appointment. :D

    For IB users--mechanics of long term hold?

    def, I do understand I just wish there was a way to get some kind of yield. Even money market funds from your mutual fund providers would be nice.

    For IB users--mechanics of long term hold?

    Another way to think about it is that if you keep balances in USD you're being treated like a prisoner in Oz (the HBO TV show) by IB. They are making 1-2% on your cash and paying you zip.

    trading systems vendor?

    Remember that on many sites there are say 10,000 systems, and only maybe 10-20 that show good results. You'd expect that many due to just random chance. Don't be fooled by random selection.....

    Oil Downspike today

    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. So load your shotgun up with buckshot, then shoot your friend in the face. -Dick Cheney

    Earning interest on cash at IB

    Always read the fine print. To get that arkansas rate you need to do a whole bunch of things, including marrying your sister. The 5.01% is limited to Oklahoma residents.

    Where to find historical options data?

    Unfortunately you can't get it for free. You're talking about HUGE amounts of data (even on a daily basis). For each stock you have maybe 20-30 option contracts (only a few liquid though) for each expiration month. Try googling, you'll find plenty of links. The first one I found was...
