You did not seem to have a problem sending ID the first time to open your account. How did you send ID the first time to open your account? How did that go for you? Faxing a copy directly to IB should be very secure. Send the requested ID by US Postal Service. Even send it registered or...

There was plenty of sarcasm in my post to the 'serpent'. I get kind of goofy when I'm tired. I do not work for IB, nor do I have interest in defending their policies for them, although I trust those policies would be in my interest as well as theirs and yours too. What I do not understand...

"He had warned that the US government was on a "burning platform" of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding," unsustainable fiscal deficits + health care underfunding = deficits + underfunding = deficits and more spending = more...

Health care not rationed in Canada? If taxes to pay for it never go up or go up very little, there has to be a limit to how much can be spent. They have to control costs. Patients can't just make the government pay more because they don't believe the illness is all in their head and want to see...

There it is. I'm totally alternative medicine, disease prevention, health education, but the health care industry embedded with the government is doing a good job of suppressing that. More than taxes, I'm mostly afraid that if there is national health care in the US, alternative medicine...

Feel guilty not. You must know for a fact that if you married her and she continued to eat that way, you would shortly be pushing her around in a wheelchair.

If you want your funds back, simply send IB the documents: Bank statement or government identification And a bank check If everything is legitimate on your end, why would you be having a problem with sending to IB the requested identification as per your conversation with Bill Klauseger...

Health care in Canada is rationed, meted out to people like dogs. That's why Canadians with money go get treatment in the US. I see private clinics are opening up in Canada, even though they are illegal, the Canadian government knows a good thing is happening. Hundreds of Canadian doctors...

It sounds like the majority of people attracted to trading are pro tax and spend socialists. I suspect they first thought of trading as having little work involved, they were expecting easy riches, like getting lucky and winning the lottery. Most are attracted to an easy way of life, whether the...

I didn't think you were being rude, I sensed negativism which is all over ET lately and it's bringing me down. "Most people born rich stay that way and most born poor stay that way". For most people, that is a choice. Wealth can be lost if no self-discipline. Accumulating wealth takes...

Taxes were cut, stimulating and growing the economy as cutting taxes will nearly always do that. Revenue to the government actually roughly doubled as cutting taxes will do that. But spending roughly tripled, as the government ALWAYS likes to do.

Maybe it would do you a lot of good to look up a few sources. And stop making excuses for yourself and others to not achieve success. I notice you did not comment about the one third of millionaire lottery winners that go bankrupt which proves my point that no matter how much you give...

I suppose it depends on what you call 'rich'. Maybe you are thinking of inheriting $billions. I don't remember the exact numbers, something like 80% of those with a net worth of at least 1 to 5 million did not inherit any of it, nor did they get a head start by being born into upper middle...

Exactly. It would do the world much more good if individuals or families helped individuals and families. That promotes accountability upon the recipient to do well, whereas anonymous handouts accomplish nothing but dependence. There is much less efficiency with the government with much greater...

Gnome for president! We need a Gnome in the White House. Unfortunately, common-sense talk of an individual's wealth being dependent upon the effort put forth will not fly. The media would shoot the Gnome down as if in a witch hunt. Witch! Witch! Hissssssssss. Ambitionless people seem to...

Each generation has less drive and ambition, why bother when everything you ask for is provided for you by your credit-stretched-to-the-limit parents. Then kids and their parents demand the government do the same. Nephew doesn't like the things mommy and granny give him, so he ''loses'' it...

End of the world rally.

Impressive. So surreal looking.

"Bear Stearns Cos., the U.S. securities firm that posted its first-ever loss last quarter on mortgage writedowns, has more than $1 billion of trades that profit if subprime home loans and bonds continue to deteriorate." Maybe they should pay attention. Now the wind is blowing the other...

It does not matter what percent he has made doing what. When Buffett talks everyone listens. Influential people have a responsibility of doing what is right. Because you can legally take advantage of people who have lost their parents, does not mean it is proper and ethical. If he wants...
