Don't live there but I was at Caneel Bay --- on St. John a few weeks ago and traded a but from there. No connectivity issues --- high speed wireless is available. St. Thomas is a bit "crowded" compared to St. John IMO. Fly into St. Thomas and it's about a 1/2 hour boat ride to St. John.

Sorry Rockford but your "detective" work isn't correct. I have multiple accounts at a single bank and have in excess of $100,000 and it's all insured. Setting up one, or more, POD accounts is all it takes.

No, I don't think your understanding is correct. I've spoken to reps here in the US. Many US firms outsource customer service to places like India. I know I've spoken to reps in India regarding one of my credit cards. And again, security at E*Trade is better than at many brokers. But it's up...

If you were hacked then you need to find out why. But at E*Trade it's virtually impossible to be hacked if you have the security token that self generates a new random number every 60 seconds. That concatenated with your password to get access makes it as secure as it can be. They offered the...

ehealthinsurance.com I think Golden Rule is among those they offer as well as Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It'll kick out everything from a high deductible catastrophic policy to low deductible policies with much higher premiums. I have BC/BS with a $5K deductible. Other option is to find...

One day ... or one year ... you may be right!

Tax implications: * Some Mutual Funds may delay paying their year-end dividend until early January. However, the IRS requires that those dividends be constructively paid at the end of the previous year. So in these cases, you might find that a dividend paid in January was included in the...

Ever heard of being undercapitalized? What's the chance of being successful long term in trading or any small business venture? Fairly low ... add in being undercapitalized and the odds of success grow even smaller. If you want to trade $25K isn't very much money to come up with ... that is...

A "good" trader who doesn't have a measly $25K? I'd say that person perhaps isn't a good trader.

It's their business ... and they (Tradestation) can charge for data, software or whatever they decide. You are a client and if you don't agree with the costs of doing business with them then you need to find someone else. For someone to come on ET and bitch about $25/month is laughable. Every...

If you can't afford $25 or $50 a month then maybe trading isn't for you. Second, if it's such a big deal then go elsewhere where you'll get your free data feed. I doubt anyone is holding a gun to your head to keep an account open, whether it be a live account or demo. PS I doubt Tradestation...

Uh noooo ... some of us are traders and trade the direction of the market. Goal #1 is to make money, whether the market is up or down. Try reading my post again ... I said it's wise to play BOTH long and short.

Guess stock_trad3r went back into hiding! Some people never learn that there is more than one way the market can move ... and to play only the long side is like a football team running the ball 100% of the time and not ever passing.

Freedom can be seen a bit different that you've portrayed it IMO. Yes, trading is a business and not a game or hobby. Each trader is responsible for themself and if they're undisciplined then they'll wash out, often sooner versus later. And yes, for me freedom is an important part of trading...

Set your exit price before (or when) you enter the trade. If it goes higher (on a long) than your exit so be it. You'd have made a profit that was your target when you entered the trade. Same for shorts ... if it goes lower than where you covered it's no big deal. I've seen lots of guys who see...

So you took Stats 101? I have 3 degrees; one is Stats, one in Operations Research and one in Management Science. That's a rather intense quantitative background. Have any understanding what OR and MS degrees focus on? I'm not someone who has a few courses in introductory probability & statistics...

But successful traders have capital they generate from trading. Ask yourself if you'd lend $$$ to someone who had no source of (guaranteed) income, who could not show the ability to pay the $$$ back. Would you lend them the $$$? I wouldn't. Daytraders are supposed to not risk $$$ they can't...

Uhhh ... GM is up 100% from 52 week low. Not too worthless IMO.

One option is to check out plans at eheathinsurance.com -- you can a high deductible, catastrophic plan reasonably cheap or more conventional coverage at a higher cost.
