Although to play devil's advocate with myself, a good number of these banks were taken over by other banks without the FDIC requiring to take a hit at all (the acquiring bank assumed all assets) so in those cases the account holders even over the limit didn't take a loss.

If the FDIC ever does not make good on its guarantee then you have a lot worse things to worry about then money. The $250k limit can be increased by being creative when you title accounts, for instance an account with 4 co-owners is protected for a million. You can also setup accounts with...

FDIC only guarantees up to $250k per account/person*. Are you saying that no one in those 106 banks had more than that? Are you saying that no one has a BAC account with more than that in it? Other than that nitpick, I agree with you... *More complicated than that but close enough.

Love the irony about some anon poster on a messageboard calling other folks "messageboard guys". Oh that's right, you're the real deal because you say you are and because you're bragging about some vacation you're going to take, excuse me.

Just admit you're gay...you'll feel better.

I suspect your optimizations works well with your DB solely because of the larger sector size and has nothing to do with your manual partition alignment. If you understand how modern hard drives work you would know that there is a lot of translation going on therefore trying to align the...

Can you provide a reference for this claim? I've heard about tweaking partitions for SSD's but not for hard drives. I have a difficult time believing that this is a good idea and/or that you could achieve those type of gains by doing this.

+1 OP: You should post the name of the virus to get more specific recommendations on how to remove it; by chance is it AntiVirus 2009?

Wow, look at WFC move up while almost every other financial stock is down today...hmmmm

I trade futures in a SEP-IRA that I opened with IB in 2006. I don't know who is the trustee, all of my interactions have been directly with IB (setting up the account, making additional contributions, etc) From my online statement: Account Information Name xxxxx Account Uxxxxxx...

No special fees on my IB IRA, just the regular monthly commission minimum ($10). All the info is here: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/education/faqs/ira.php?ib_entity=llc

Uh oh, tin-foil hat crowd is out in full-force now. ..I was going to correct your misstatements above but its just not worth it, no way to disprove a negative, something that the conspiracy theorists really leverage to the max. Believe what you want, cars that run on water repressed by big...

Yea I know the bit you are talking about without looking at the youtube link, Kinison is almost as funny as some of the clowns we have posting on this thread, of course he is trying to be funny.

I have a friend a DARPA who works in counter-intelligence. They produce a lot of fake information and see who leaks it to ferret out moles. You will be contacted shortly unless you made this up, in which case nothing will happen.

The question isn't whether a new source of energy will ever be discovered - that is a given. The question is that does your "friend" really have secret information about an existing discovery. If something like that existed it would have leaked already, no way to keep something that...

If you think that is true why didn't you short the stock Friday, sounds like free money come Monday.

I have a SEP IRA account with IB and I trade futures with it. I have a solo 401k with Fidelity and trade equities with that, mostly swing trades though since their comm rates aren't good. $49k max contribution to either per year.

Shouldn't the stock be lower then when you created this thread before you claim victory?
