We don't all have the same abilities and we don't all have the same faults. I shouldn't have to be expected to be able to do the things you can do, and I shouldn't have to be punished for the actions of others who may have blamed their brokers for their own losses. Maybe you find it a simple...

I'm not blaming my broker for any trading losses I may make. I'm taking responsibility for my own use of my own money. It's a responsible thing to accept any risks you may subject your own money to. It's not the same thing to ask others to accept those risks. I can't ask others to accept the...

Yes, if the government is so concerned about protecting small dummies from throwing their money away on gambling, why don't they create a Pattern Gambling restriction to prevent people with less than $25,000 from going to Las Vegas? How many more people of all incomes go to Las Vegas and lose...

The government doesn't want lotteries? SURE they do! Some states may require a referendum to approve the lotteries that the government wants to create. But the government definitely wants them. It's the government that puts out those odds-misrepresenting ads to get the mathematically challenged...

1. Other countries don't have pattern daytrading restrictions 2. Other countries probably don't have uptick rules for shorting 3. From my very scant observations, my impression at least, is that other countries don't have as liquid an options market. It would be pointless to say that...

Your complaint is a legalistic one, you've somehow been involved in this issue where you're seeing the extreme cases of those who do sue. They are an atypical minority. Most of us have agreed to these waivers and disclaimers, and would never have considered ever bringing legal action against our...

We have to sign this waiver and dozens more like it when we open and use an account at InteractiveBrokers. InteractiveBrokers has a billion dollars, debt free. It would never ever occur to me that after signing all these disclaimers and waivers of rights in my use of InteractiveBrokers, that...

I suppose you're a broker yourself and have never tried to open an account at InteractiveBrokers. We have to agree not to sue InteractiveBrokers even if we incur losses directly and indisputably caused by their system failure. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

We both signed such a waiver when we opened our accounts with Interactive Brokers.

When I have $25,000 I will not suddenly think that this rule is sensible and fair. And I will continue to state that any time I am asked for my opinion on this issue.

Dear Sirs, I am writing to express my show of support to Mr. Tampa in whatever the heck it is he's complaining about. You must never stop fighting for what is your constitutional right. I have forwarded your complaint to the Vermont State Fish and Wildlife Authority. I encourage others to...

Who hired lawyers to file lawsuits against brokers? The little guys with $2,000 who are trying to trade a few options contracts in the hope of reaching $3,000? No. The ones who go out and hire lawyers are the ones who are playing with more than $25,000. And what kind of lawsuits do you...

NQLX doesn't seem to have had as many technical difficulties as OneChicago. OneChicago took longer to get SEC approval also, even though they had intended to start trading SSF two weeks earlier than NQLX.

Why does my Daily Skirt come missing the flyer from the supermarket? I need to know what's on sale, and I want my special two-for-one store coupons :mad:

How many here have said "I quit", especially in the early stages. Then you cooled off, and came back, and kept at it.

The daytrading restrictions are like not letting anyone in a 4-seat car make more than 3 right turns per 50 miles of road. Doesn't matter how old you are, how long you've been driving, how skilled you are at driving. If your car is a 4-seater, you're restricted to three right turns per 50...

If it's your money, you can spend it any way you want. The "socially accepted restrictions" on ways you can spend your money are all restrictions on the activities themselves, not the spending of the money.

ALL lotteries are very low probability. Millions of people, MOST of them low-income, are trying to win and, naturally, getting ripped off. They shouldn't be doing it. Does the government step in? Yes indeed! The government is the one creating and running lotteries. They're constantly stepping...

The call with strike of 25 can be purchased for $5. But to buy it for $5 when the QQQ is priced at $30, it would have to be the day of expiration. Non-marginable means brokers are not going to lend you money for other transactions based on the price of the option. Any money you spend buying...

Yes, customer service will be necessary for the continued success of any brokerage service. Companies that respond to any complaints of their operation by merely boasting of their finanical stability while taking a condescending attitude toward their customers will ultimately find that this...
