What about Refco or Lehman? Those guys will never fail......oh wait DOH!

IDriveE provides up to 50 GB for $5 or $6 a month. That said mozy's backup is a little cleaner.

Shorting is evil and un-American, why would anyone want to assist shorts? :D :D :D It's much better to assist the CEOs of all the failing banks.

Not that some people on ET aren't knowledgeable, but please tell me you're not going to make trading decisions solely based on something you read here......

Has anyone else been able to get the daily update from pinnacle data tonight? WTF is going on there? I thought maybe it was a downloading problem but the update isn't on their website either.

I understand you need to buy it back before expiration (I'm not *that* dumb!!!). I guess this is all dependent on a rally on the final day before expiration scaring weak hands into covering? For every short there has to be a long though, but I assume there was no selling panic as price was...

I understand a short squeeze in stocks because shares can be called in and the market has a general upwards bias. I don't see how you get a squeeze in crude, even as it expires. I'm not arguing -- I just don't get why/how it would happen. Can you explain? Thanks. SSB

Anyone feel like calling them and waiting on hold for 45 minutes before getting a rep who says they reserve the right to make like Kobe Bryant in Colorado and bend you over a chair in a hotel room? Their later message saying they'll close out shorts of the 800 non-shortable financial stocks...

Wealthlab's new 5.x product is native .net code and if you create a DLL in visual studio you can debug it. That said, you can't trade with anyone but Fidelity, and if you live outside the US it's backtesting only, and they charge you an arm and a leg, and you need to keep paying every year or...

How can you buy if shorting is banned? Just enter a buy order. But to enter a sell order you need to own the shares first (under the rule you cannot sell shares you don't already own). I assume there are exceptions for those who have friends in high places.....

It means it's time to move your trading to IB.....

Dunno, but thinking about the message it's more likely it's a rate occurrence, but they want to get this out there to give them the ability to do whatever they want and then say "hey you were warned". I thought that brokers basically cover the borrowing costs using the interest from the...

From a newsletter I received as a tradestation customer: We also know that some of you apply short selling to your trading strategies so we wanted to alert you to new requirements adopted yesterday by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC expressed concern "about the...
