you guys are wusses. i've been in that situation and make it a point that people who ordered more expensive dishes and drinks have to shell out more. this is especially true when there are a couple of lardasses in the group who order huge entrees, dessert and appetizers, while i get an...

good for them, they have a right to demand their employees conform to a certain standard when that standard is required to maintain the company's branding and image. only the fatasses are coming to her defense. 5'8" 132 is overweight. she should be 120. chances are she was 120 when she was...

consumers didn't demand high-MPG cars until gas hit $3 after katrina. in the US, hybrids were as rare as ferraris back in 2003. the new CAFE numbers will just increase the price of gas-guzzlers because the CAFE rules allow for manufacturers to simply pay a fine per vehicle when they break...

this isn't a story because s. korea is a big wuss. they've said they won't retaliate militarily. can you imagine if another country intentionally sank a US warship?

+1 i'll take boring over corporate politics and annoying co-workers anyday. besides, if you're good at what you do you can earn more than in a 9-5 job. and with money comes freedom.

it'll be mind-blowing when it reaches another solar system, which at this rate will probably not happen before mankind becomes extinct. it has traveled less than 0.002 light years since its launch.

i've heard it's the hidden service tdsserv.sys that's the culprit. you have to disable the service then use tdsservkiller.exe to remove it. i didn't find this out until after i did a format/reinstall so i don't know if it actually works.

is this the search engine hijack virus? i had that infection and it is the f*cking most stubborn pain-in-the-ass virus ever. i tried 4 different scanners including avg, malwarebytes and combofix. i ran them in normal mode and in safe-mode, and they still didn't work!!! i followed a number of...

just go into your account management settings, then trading access. then select reg-t. there's not much to it.

what positions do you have? do you want more leverage or do you want the safety of a broker who won't let you over-lever yourself? i have portfolio margin accounts with both brokers. for certain options positions, TOS's margin req calculations can be very volatile; i.e., it changes...

okay, so you found some articles written by people as dumb as you and that proves what? nothing. open an account with level 1 options (covered calls/puts) and try to write a "cash-secured naked put" and see if the broker lets you. they won't. they'll tell you having cash does not cover...

you basically have several people here and links to IB telling you that you're wrong, and you still think you're right because you cling to your own personal defintion of certain terms. you cannot cover a short put with cash, end of story. the broker considers it naked until you short the...

if you have many options, IB's margin calculation doesn't always assemble the options into the ideal combinations. so even if their auto-liquidator possessed this type of intelligence, i wouldn't trust it unless it involved only 1 type of options combo. not to mention their auto-liquidator...

lol, you're making a fool out of yourself. you don't know what a naked put is. a cash secured short put can still be naked. covering a short put means selling the underlying -- it has NOTHING to do with the amount of cash you have. you can have 1 trillion dollars in your account and sell...

1 day of experience in the market is better than advice from 100 people and books :D

6% down in a few minutes doesn't look like it was caused by a mistake to you?

i bet the OP got the lesson of his life today :D

... boy, this is gonna end well. hey could you tell me what the stock is so i can take the other side of these trades?

i used the iPad over the weekend to browse the web. maybe i'm the impatient type, but damn that thing is slow. i'd go nuts waiting for it to finish drawing a website and let me 'click' on something. it feels the same speed as a netbook for moderately complex websites like mapping.

it's one thing if the debt was all a mistake, but it sounds like it wasn't a mistake. this just sounds like another douchebag deadbeat trying to stiff someone, and he's actually get help from others. here's advice for you: PAY UP EVERYTHING YOU OWE THEM i hope they come at you with...
