Try reformatting the data in place using right-click, format cells and try some date options. Remember save first and undo if necessary. There is also a DATE function that may allow you to convert into a new cell. If that doesn't work, make a new column and parse the text out in pieces...

Good to see you guys offering to help him out. I'd be a lil suspect given his posting history. So I guess this means he does trade options. Surprising, given the rhetoric posted here.

I say no more Minimi. Who's with me? C'mon, let's goooooo. Who's with me? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!!!!

If you actually trade options, I suspect some of the money in my account came out of yours.

I love options. They are outstanding vehicles for making money. Some of the complaints are directed toward the exchanges, specialists and such who are still taking their cut. You will need to work within the system to make it work for you. Talk to your friends who have made money. The...

I have to agree wholeheartedly. The definition of "affirmative action" is certainly key here. Very very few have a problem with all of us using the same restroom etc... Many more, myself included, have a problem with "set asides" and bonus points for college admissions based solely on skin...

It doesn't take 10 days to clear a check. It takes 10 days, or more (in some cases) to BOUNCE a check. Like most corporations, IB does not get a list every day of those checks that have cleared. Few banks provide such a service (C isn't one of them for less than a BIG fee). Most banks will...

You should check into the fraud that def points out. A guy wrote two checks for two accounts a few years back and arb'ed them against each other. He only had enough funds to cover one of the checks in his acct. Sure "money is money", but you should try to understand the way in which checks...

Sure. 8328. I'll go ahead and put my orders in now. Thanks for the great info. I have a dog named Spanky who has seemed a little depressed lately - could you tell me what the problem is with him? You are a very funny person.

I have a question for you. In the cases where you placed an asterisk next to the hand, why did you do so? In other words, what made this a gut hand rather than a clearly playable hand? Obviously, AA KK etc... (Sklansky Group I hands) are played, but does the cut go down into group II? Would...

There's the key. You had a read on both of them. Helmuth always says he has times where he feels like he knows exactly what the others are holding. If you knew nothing about her and only a Q showing, you may have played it out. To me, it's always about what is POSSIBLE out there...sure the...

If you are talking equity options, it is usually based on the last trade. Keep in mind that the option technically expires on Saturday, and that any news out Friday after the bell that could move the stock (in after hours Friday or on Monday open) could affect whether you get exercised or not.

Agreed. They are "in on it" and have knowledge of it. Their apparent distance from it is too great to tie them to it. Profiting from something does NOT mean you have to DAYTRADE it. Unfortunately, a lot of daytraders seem to believe that the only way to make money on something is to daytrade...

Right. 1) He doesn't have time to trade. 2) He could have someone do it for him under their own name. 3) When he leaves office, he has many jobs waiting for him at 10X his current salary. Not to mention 50K speaking engagements and many other deals. He has the option to receive more...

The District of Columbia effectively outlawed guns in the early 70s. The result? They have earned the title of the "Murder Capital of the U.S." at least 7 times since banning guns. More than 90% of all homicides in the District are committed with firearms. Last year in DC, a woman in her...

The rule is that all cabinet level Secretaries "and others in sensitive positions" appointed by the administration must place nearly all investment funds in blind trusts.

I would like to see the exchanges suffer as a result of this action. Better yet, maybe the BOX (or another entitity) will arrive and take advantage of this newly imposed fee structure to gain a competitive advantage. I agree that the fee is intended to create a certain behavior pattern among...

Exactly right. Good post. Minimi won't understand it, but you are right on.

If it's very lightly traded, and there's nothing obviously wrong with the company fundamentally, it could indicate a single large short position by a hedge fund or institution. This is especially true if there are no options for the equity.
