This is actually kind of funny. I'm nowhere near the $100K mark in either my bank or brokerage account, but here I am worrying about having enough insurance. It's kind of like the noob trader who has yet to have a profitable year in the market complaining about over-taxation. :p

Today's WSJ reports that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has subpoenaed four taxpayers. Peter Lowy who owns Westfield Group, Steven Greenfield, Shannon Marsh and William Wu. The subcommittee is getting their info from former employees at UBS and a Lichenstein bank called...

Because going with a direct access broker doesn't mean you make more money. Where the hell do you guys come up with this crap? If you trade with limit orders it doesn't matter if you have direct access or a retail broker. And even if you trade the most active stocks you can use market orders and...

BWAHAHAHAHA! I posted something today about conspiracy wackos being to busy to post because they are all out finding more evidence that President Bush blew up the WTC and that post is gone. These guys really are a bunch of jack booted moderators.

Using that PCF in a scan for all items in system gives 491 hits as of today's close.

Well, for instance a stock hitting a 52 high today would be written in a PCF as "H = MAXH250", and then that PCF would be put in a easy scan. Notice that it looks at the intraday high and not the closing price. So for a 20 day high the PCF would be H = MAXH20. That will give you all the...

Are there two threads on this? OK, I see now, one in Prop Firms and one in Hook Ups.

neither McCain nor Kerry deserve to have their military service disparaged. This crap comes up every presidential election.

Not even going to watch it. McCain refused parole knowing it would mean more torture for him. He's no weakling.

Conspiracy theorists never quit, do they? Remember the one a few years ago who cornered an old astronaut in a restaraunt and tried to make him swear on the Bible that he was actually on the moon? Conspiracy wackos get downright annoying sometimes. The amero was written about many years ago...

I've never given deposit insurance a second thought, I bank with a credit union and my deposit is insured by the NCUA. I went to the NCUA's website to check up on my credit union to see if there are any warning signs, but the only alerts were about phishing emails and child porn. Yep, child...

Now they are lining up at 1:30 in the morning. And the cops are showing up to keep everyone calm. We are watching history in the making. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police ordered angry customers lined up outside an IndyMac Bank branch to remain calm or face arrest Tuesday as they tried to pull...

No argument from me, I work out too. Being healthy helps.

An FDIC spokesman on KNX radio last night said that in the instance of a $150K CD, the depositor will get back $125K as insured and for the remaining $25K the depositor becomes a creditor of the bank and may recieve a portion of any sales proceeds of the original bank.

Is there a broker who doesn't profit from their customer's orders? :confused:

Every market order I've ever placed was executed before I could get my finger off the mouse, I could care less how they route it.

Did anybody else get this email already? Have you joined yet? I filled out the registration page, but I wonder what the point is? It's not like they will allow a debate or anything, and I'm sure any problems that are brought up will be answered with, "call your branch office".

Veteran barflies rarely get hangovers. You can vaccinate yourself against hangovers with food, water and sleep. Eat a huge meal before you start partying, (don't fall for the bread myth, it doesn't soak up the alcohol like amateurs say it does), a big greasy, rich meal like a dbl whopper...

Not sure what the hell API is, but I had to stop using the Yahoo finance site because my browser was constantly "waiting on api".

So this week there were 293 banks that made new lows, we are basically back to where we were in July of last year when this thing boiled over. I never would have predicted that this would go on as long as it has. Even Freddie and Fannie may need help to get through this. BTW, the Bank of the...
