Maybe you missed all the applause after Rudy's comments? Paul shot himself in the foot. My guess is he'll be gone before the summer is out. OldTrader

Those statistics don't mean anything to me. However, I think your comparison to GOOG is tenuous at best. If you will recall, GOOG was one of those IPOs that nearly everyone said was too expensive, and in fact, when it was priced was priced well below the initial price indications. I don't...

That would be "WOOF", not "whoof". OldTrader

Good post. Cashing out the founder would not be on my list of things to do, unless it's at the right price. I think this stock is a buy at the right price, but with stocks at record highs and following an IPO which was both increased in quantity and raised in price, you'd have to believe...

Just a little perspective: 25 years ago gold was very volatile...an excellent day trading medium. That ended. You could still trade gold...but day trading it became nearly impossible unless you were on the floor. Now, you could have kept trying to day trade gold. Or you could have changed...

In all fairness, I don't think you read his post. Sounded to me like he had some profitable years, that he was not able to make enough scalping THIS year, so he tried to use a different strategy which didn't work for him. Where in his post did you get the idea that he spent years "trying to...

I'd hate to have you think I focus on a 5 minute chart. I don't. I think what I said is that I use the 5 minute, 30 minute, and daily charts. To me, the most important chart is the daily, then the 30 minute, with the 5 minute being least important. I also put some emphasis on trying to...

Friday morning I was focused on trading various futures...no problems there at all. I trade using buttontrader, so I'm not watching an open TWS page. I do have a quote page open with various stock symbols in my charting software. But as I said, I was focusing on futures. I became aware...

I notice that the dual wan router from Peplink is $495. I'm wondering why you chose that particular router inasmuch as there are other dual wan routers out there for around $200. Hotbrick for instance. http://www.hotbrick.com/ Thanks for any info. OldTrader

At least you TRIED to pump it up. No one can say you didn't do your part. LOL! Don't forget to cancel your order at 39. LOL. OldTrader

I'd suggest you review the landlord-tenant law in your state. Following a 30 day notice, after which the tenant does not move out, they are not "trespassing". They are now a hold-over tenant, who you will have to evict under the provisions of your state law. OldTrader

Doesn't sound like a separate issue to me. What am I missing? http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/releaseNotes/TWS_Notes_871.php?ib_entity=#871_fix

I would suggest that you spend significant time first educating yourself. You first need to have some idea of your own about which way to begin. Without that you don't have much of a possibility of success. There's a variety of ways to begin. One is trading. Another is investing...

Sentence structure? Maybe that's what you think you said, but here's what you actually said: Nothing about "insurance coverage limits" Rockford. Sounds to me like what you actually said is that the only property protected is that property not held in street name. Now, I suspect YOU...

Rockford: What was inaccurate was your statement above where you say that property held in street name by a securities broker is not protected. That's what I responded to. Securities and cash held in street name are absolutely covered by SIPC. My post regarding such was absolutely...

In the event of bankruptcy, securities and/or cash (within limits) is covered by SIPC, even if held in street name. OldTrader

Yeah, I've noticed that remarkable restraint in perks that officers of public companies have been forced to comply with! LOL! OldTrader

Doesn't take any "moral high ground" to know what you're talking about, and what to do about it, does it? I think he's exactly right....passing some of the rule changes causes liquidity to contract, exactly when it doesn't need to. Speaking of "moral high ground", where would you put the...

I'd say the right way to value IB is to put one value on the brokerage side, another value on the trading side. When you think about it, these two businesses are completely different. What I would never do is derive a value based on the number of accounts. This is an irrelevant number in my...

Maybe you guys should take a look at the Commitment of Traders report. Record commercial shorts, record speculator longs....not exactly a prescription for higher prices. Then there is the record inventory at Cushing, OK. OldTrader
