    cpu usage at 100% ???

    MB Trading: 12 day hold on check deposits

    Ethos- I don't think your problem has much to do with Penson. I use TOS, who also clears through Penson, and each time I've sent a large personal check my account has been credited the day after they received it. And it's been available for trading right then as well. Maybe TOS has a...

    I just opened an account at ThinkorSwim. Moving from OptionsXpress

    Options demo account

    TOS is the one you're gonna want to be using, so learn on that one. Just talk to Tom or Scott or Joel, they will give you longer than 10 days. Why learn on the OE platform, and then find out they no longer have the best deal? Go with TOS. Don

    Advisory Services?

    Do they really think that just purchasing 3 - 4k software or subscribing to $200/mo. for signal service will help them make money in the long term? Yes, they do. :D Don
