... snip You do realize that Def has no obligation to be here and that his posts contribute greatly to user concerns over IB as well as offering good sound trading advice to new traders (including me). Any guy who takes the time out to send a personal PM to another user wishing them well is...

Come on guys -- it is just like war. If you're willing to wear the uniform and go on the battlefield, then there always comes a point where you have to shoot him before he shoots you. Yeah, killing is wrong, but in the context of war, it is a necessary evil for a greater reason. The big...

A lot of bulletin boards give users the ability to make a cute icon to put under their names. Could something like this be done with ET?

As a developer of software that connects with TWS, I have to deal with TWS changing their Tws.ocx file quite often. Change one thing in the pipe and everything breaks -- go figure.

If we weren't here, where would we be? Since nonexistence is impossible. You cannot have nonexistence. There is a simple theory for this. Hypothesis: "Non-existence exists." a) In order to have nonexistence, it must be in contrast to the state of existence. b) We currently exist...

Are you referring to Captain Future? He actually wound up becoming too profitable to continue posting on ET.

Then sell a spread.

What if you go long on one and can't get a downtick on the other?

I have actually seen people with 8+ monitors -- I've even seen things that would put NASA to shame.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't handle living with someone who required sex constantly. Men need some quiet time.

Quite the contrary, I think you're one of the best contributors on ET.

What if the board of directors decides to elimate dividends for GM because of their dire financial situation? Then you can lock in the dividends with the SSF's. That is just one of many ways to use various instruments to your advantage. If you lock in a spread and the spread exists for a...

Jerking off is faster, less expensive and my hand is always available.

Oh my ... this is not good.

No need to defend myself here.

Yeah, P. Niss -- Because comments take a lot of server space. I don't know what section of the country you live in (maybe a place with a lot of woods -- a shack comes to mind), but today we can store vast amounts of information on a hard-drive. I wish you were a stock, because I'd short you...
