Two answers ... (1) If you set a goal and achieve it what's wrong with quitting for the day? You're not placing a ceiling on your potential. Rather, you achieved 100% of what you wanted in LESS than a full day. Why take a chance on giving some (or all) of your profits back? After all, there...

No way, Dow won't close up 200. The only "lock" is that it won't close at/above 11k. Wouldn't surprise me if it sold off a little this afternoon and closed up 80 - 100.

For one thing it's doubtful that a large order (i.e. 100,000 shares) would sit there on the inside bid (ask) all day long, whether you were sitting there showing your size or if you had a reserve quantity and were showing only a small amount and refreshed. Rather, the market would likely move...

And my intent was to offer suggestions. Sadly, hackers (or keeping them out) are a part of anybody's life who uses the internet. We all need to protect our PC, private info, etc. as best we can. That was my suggestion. My point about libel and slander was based on a good friend who practiced law...

Regarding your 1st paragraph. If you make accusations that they stole the money the burden of proof is on you. You can fire back and flame me if you wish. Check the law. If you were sued for libel or slander it would be necessary for you to prove your statement to be true as the defendant is...

Perhaps you don't understand the law and the legal interpretations of libel, slander & defamation. If he cannot prove the statement that E*Trade "stole $5 grand" he could face a suit. Simple as that. It is your statement that is incorrect (that there is "no chance" he could be sued). If you...

I noticed you just did a rating of E*Trade and you titled it ETRADE FRAUD. Your comments were "I traded with ETRADE 3 + years. They then stole 5 grand from my account and never fessed up to it. Their are others in the same situation as me. STAY FAR FAR AWAY UNLESS YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR MONEY AT...

I currently have 4 accounts with E*Trade, some going back 10 years. I've never had any issues other than quibbling over where I got filled on a few trades years ago when I traded an E*Trade actively. I suspect "problems" are fairly rare. Do you know how many clients E*Trade has? Do you know...

Why take a chance of turning a good winning day into a losing day. When I first started trading full time I felt I "needed" to be at the office the entire day, trading all day. I think it was from putting in full days in the corporate world. I can recall a number of days where I might be up...

If you don't think that people are starting to quietly build short positions you're kidding yourself.

I really don't care that he told me to "go to hell", not once, but twice. And his other immature name calling showed his true character. I was intrigued by all that's happened with Refco and had read the thread from the start. And after all the going back and forth I merely asked if he'd...

I give up. The guy makes statements and then apparently refuses to back them up. He can support his statements and others can as well, according to him. Yet he doesn't know the names of the "others" and he chooses to NOT post his substantiation. I've read the bantering back and forth from day 1...

I'm sorry if I missed your explanation. I have read the thread since day one. I do not see any post that explains and substantiates your claims about "robbing its customers blind". Please point me to that specific explanation. And let me end my post noting that I came on here, asked a simple...

Thanks for the reply. So you can't back up your statement about "robbing its customers blind"? I have no further questions.

As I alluded to earlier many online investors don't take the necessary precautions ... link below is from SEC http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2005-158.htm

I've had 4 accounts for longer term investing (2 IRA's, 2 regular brokerage) with E*Trade for over 5 years. Never a problem. I certainly don't use them for my short term/daytrading. The couple incidents posted here on ET about problems with money being wired out should be considered but there...

So no one benefitted when the COMPX sank from over 5000 to 1500? LOL There was a ton of $$$ made back from 2000 to 2002 on the short side. As an example, I shorted VTSS at $96. Take a look at where it is today. You clearly don't get it. Lots of people made money shorting an overvalued...

Seems it's about time for you to call in your Dad (Rocky) and Angel. If not mistaken the "real" Jim Rockford always got the crap beat out of him in the 70's. and relied on those two guys. Do you suffer from OCD regarding Refco?

Is that why the Dow and COMPX are negative YTD? Anyone who is a trader plays BOTH sides of the field ... long and short. You see a couple up days and see it as a rally. Better dig deeper to see how much has been gained net in the past (1) month - both Dow and COMPX are down in that time (2)...

Sorry, you're wrong ... AGAIN! You stated that we were up HUGE in the last 2 weeks. Two weeks ago the Dow was down 3.42% YTD. The COMPX was down 3.87% YTD. Check the numbers now. And yes, I trade, unlike you. It's my livelihood. Oh wait, you do trade ... "I'm short oil and long tech"...
