    IB server down

    Just realized none of my equity quotes have been updating! Just futures. Since I'm only trading futures today I wasn't paying that close of attention, except it seemed like nothing was moving. LOL! Shut TWS down, restart, now it appears to be working. Unbelievable. "IB status: No problems...

    TAX question, help !

    Bad advice. Here's a link to the instructions for Schedule D: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040sd.pdf I'd take a look at page D6. It specifically says to not do what you're doing. You might ask HR Block what part of the instructions to Schedule D he did not understand. Either way...

    Tax sales ? Fraud or Real?

    Taxes take precedence over a mortgage. Most of the time the mortgage companies will pay them, but every once in a while something slips by. More apt to be a situation where the taxes are not impounded. But like Wareco said, there's an active business in tax sales. Some states are better...

    IB server down

    By the way, I lost contact this AM for maybe 40-45 minutes started around 9:35 EST. Never anything on the status board. All it said was all IB systems "functioning normally". I assume when I lose connection for 45 minutes this isn't normal! Everything was fine with my internet connection...

    IB server down

    Rockford: Can't find it. Searched under your name, and variations of your name. Zip. Went through everything under TWS and General. Zip, unless I missed it. Can't search by number evidently. Please provide some type of direction for locating. If I can't find it after 30 minutes, I...

    Coulter slurs John Edwards...

    Hatred? I thought she just said Edwards was a faggot! Later she said she wasn't serious because she'd never lump all the faggots in with Edwards. LOL. By the way, did we determine whether or not Edwards is in fact a faggot? OldTrader

    TAX question, help !

    You have to enter every single stock trade on your Schedule D. You can't just enter your total purchase and your total proceeds. You can either do it yourself, or you can use some type of software that does it for you. OldTrader

    Jim Rogers sees US real estate crash

    No, I think zdreg was pretty accurate. Perhaps YOU need to re-read what you said. You called him a "half-time" investor, said he had a "piece of shit" that he drove around the world, and said you were discounting what he had to say and he was wrong on China. And, you still haven't given an...

    This is why I love recessions

    You never know until you're in the moment. No one wants stocks at a bottom. And in fact, at the 2002-2003 bottom, there were many, many traders who were expecting lower prices, not higher prices. They claimed there had not been "capitulation". I then watched many, many retail traders short...

    Some observations on scalping Crude

    A comment and a question: Next week we won't be trading the April contract...we'll be trading May. April is in liquidation now. Just a heads up. It looks like you're using something like a $2 stop on your trades. That looks like more of a long term type of trade to me. Are you actually...

    Hermin Miller Aeron

    Since you had a rep, I imagine he must have made you aware that there are 3 different sizes available. I have the large size. But that said, there are plenty of other chairs around. I used to go through them about once a year. LOL. OldTrader
