Sentence was way out of line. And you can see that even from reading this thread that there are alot of people who want to see the rich, powerful, successful, glamorous, etc. cut down to their own size. Maybe it makes them feel better about their own pitiful existence. That said, whining...

The "market rate" is what a willing buyer and seller enter into a transaction at in an arms length exchange. You can find this out in an area by checking out the rent ads, calling around and finding out what properties are equivalent properties are renting for. Note: the terms of a lease...

When I open a bank account I don't need a reference letter. I'm wondering why you do. A "reference letter" implies that IB would be "vouching" for you in some way. My guess is that they are unwilling to do that. What does the letter say? OldTrader

Thanks for the link. When I have more time I'll go through it to see if there is anything written in the last 5 years. LOL! Unfortunately, you got a few stale ones in the first several links. That said, I see nothing in the conventional media sources, ever. OldTrader

I don't see gas prices as an inflation problem. Rather, gas prices are a refinery problem. Plenty of crude around, just not enough refinery capacity. Higher rates doesn't solve that problem. OldTrader

I not only don't want 2 million muslims from Iraq in my country, I don't even want one. Call it racism if you choose....makes no difference to me. Why don't you explain to me why I would let a single muslim into my country when so many feel nothing but hatred, and want to kill Americans...

Forwarded it to the politicians???? LOL! What do you think they're going to do? Pass a law banning offshore storage? Back to Economics 101 son. There is more to price than simply supply. And there is more than one "crude market" than West Texas Intermediate. And then too, it might be...

I completely agree. Good post. OldTrader

Prices have little to do with supply and demand? LOL! So the fact that gasoline stocks are nearly 6% UNDER last years levels means nothing eh? Simple manipulation? You got any evidence of "manipulation"? Or would a reduced supply indicate a higher price? LOL. Have you ever read any...

The post you responded to was about oil. Your post is about gasoline....two distinct markets. Gasoline is not "decoupled from reality of a normal market". Supply cannot expand if the refining capacity is not there. Meanwhile, there is ample supply of oil, which again, does gasoline supply no...

Gotta be careful about what you read, and how you interpret it. Seems to be a decent amount of misinformation around. Here's a link to an article at Reuters regarding the Lyondell situation. The title is "Lyondell Says Houston Refinery Operations Normal"...

This is also trade on ICE, but unfortunately, it doesn't appear IB is trading that contract either. You can get price info on the ICE website. www.theice.com OldTrader

I don't have any of those problems, but I'm using windows XP. OldTrader

Just thought I would mention the oil report is 10:30AM EST. Also natural gas report is Thursday at 10:30 AM EST. OldTrader

I like to watch Brent crude, along with the products. OldTrader

My understanding is that IB only permits T-Bill purchase in 1MM amounts. But check it out on their website. But my opinion is that IB pays a competitive rate. While they don't pay on the first $10K, that problem is minimized depending on the size of your account. And too, if you were to buy...

Hi Pabst. Not only are they shifting money as I am.....none of even have a choice. LOL! It's automatic. The money is held in the securities side, and only shifted for overnight trades, automatically shifted back when the overnight trade is closed. That's it. These "shifts" are all handled...

Exactly what I said in my post. I think he is exactly right....IB's futures equity is definitely underestimated. In the typical futures account equity is held either in cash, or in T-Bills, but always in the futures account. IB on the other hand holds all equity in the Universal account...

When you posted this list, you unfortunately left out the title of the list, and all of the footnotes which help to explain how the list was derived. You if you're really "curious" and want an intelligent response, post the entire page, or a link to it. That said, I'm primarily a futures...

Will you buy your position pre-market? Or will it only be during RTH? Good luck with it. OldTrader
