I have Verizon DSL and it's great. Been using it for over a year and it's very rarely down; good steady speed (128 X 768 kbs if memory serve). They sent me the modem and phone filters via USPS and I installed it myself. Easy. I also use Verizon as my Internet ISP and the total package comes to...

It's a bit too late to advise you on virus protection, so I won't. As far as where you're at now, if I were in your shoes (and I have been) I would clean the machine; there is no other way to be really safe. That means formatting your drive after saving whatever indispensable documents or setup...

Geez, this is not your error. This is the error of the guy who designed the user interface. how about some English words instead of pretty colors? Like "sold" "executed" "cancelled" "pending" etc... You should not have to rely on colors alone. What "green" means to one person could be...

Actually, this kind of stuff is more of the resort of the US Secret Service: credit card fraud, electronic fraud, id theft, Nigerian scams etc... http://www.ustreas.gov/usss/financial_crimes.shtml

You did a lot better than me. Nibbled at SEPR and it ran up on me over half a point at the close. Here's your head handed back to you Elvis! Huh? Thank you very much... It was such a day when even the caca goes up :p But SEPR has been good to me so far, being in a death dive and all; I was...

Yeah but the real question is: did you short anything today? Did ya', uh? did ya'? :p

Est-ce que tu essayes de faire passer les Français pour des cons? Tu fais un bon boulot! On a pas besoin de ça ici. Va donc te faire plumer avec un broker local, comme c'est la coutume en France. Et viens pas nous emmerder avec l'Europe, pays d'arabes. ElvisOnMargin

Dude! Daring to criticize Java! I can't say that without being blasted for being an ignorant bum and I see two post in the same thread pointing out what a piece of crapola kludge it is.... This site is great. I'm in heaven :D

Amen to that Brother, amen to that... :D

http://www.pricewatch.com/ Good place to check out street prices. Watch out for bad shipping fees though, some of these outfits will have a low card price but ding you $15 for UPS shipping... ElvisOnMargin

Mishka, check this thread for a possible explanation of what happened to you. I'm not surprised, except that it is not happening to more people. IB has been very lucky apparently. Def said that IB is working on fixing this. I'll refrain from adding funds in my account until they do...

I have no idea. At your end, if the email comes in at work (if you place trades from work you'd like to get your confirms there, that's how I do it anyway), then it depends on your company. Some keep backups of all emails for years, some for 3 months and so on. In between the email sender and...

They didn't give a precise date, but my understanding is that some people are testing it presently. That would be for the trading interface, not the quotes. Also probably not for complicated option tickets. http://board.quotetracker.com/board/ubbthreads.php

Yes, agreed, and I can live with that :D

Thanks for the reply def. Yes, I realize now that this thread is old! And so is the problem :D I understand about regulations, but surely they don't require the login info. The account # info in the email, that's fine since it's not used for login. Scottrade does email trade confirms and...

You probably have answered your own question :p Either from the bank server(s), or on the way to it (if the transmission was unsecure). Could also have happened within the postal system. Since you need to validate the card before you can use it, and the banks nowadays use caller ID and...

For the thread's title, I agree with you and others that is is most unfortunate. However, when I got that first email, my first reaction was "holy sh&?%!", so can sympathize with the original poster. He probably posted right after realizing the problem and he was ticked off. I may not agree with...

Sanjuro. I'm new on this board and for my first couple of posts, I'm afraid that I got into controversial issues including this one. I don't want to come across as an a..hole or a know-it-all. If I did, I apologize. But I work for a big outfit with a large network that is 24/7 under hackers...

I have no problem with email confirmations, only with the security and private data included in the transmission. Email statements are quite convenient. I expect only a monthly paper statement for the rest. With all due respect, you're dead wrong on this. I don't worry about my neighbors...

Good point. But it does not make me feel any better :D Say I have your account number and password: I have access to your account now. What prevents me from changing the email address that IB is going to use from now on? Nothing. And you'll never know that someone else logged in as you until...
