What do you mean by "They have to take some money out of a 401K very soon"? Are they over the age of 70.5? Why the desire for a lot of cash? Why not roll the whole 401K into a self directed IRA? Schwab and Fidelity are good for retiree investor types. IB is good for retiree trader types.

"Stock name, date purchased, cost, date sold, sales price" That is the basic information to determine your gain or loss on each trade. Without that information you don't know if you made or lost money. The IRS also requires it on Schedule D of Form 1040. If you think that basic profit/loss...

You have no idea what you are doing and you want to be a market maker? Market making is a very crowded space and as Yogi Berra said: "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded." Why don't you read everything you can find about Timber Hill, LLC and then ask yourself if you really want...

The information is only available to Velocity customers. Why don't you post the top 10 or 20? It is not Don Miller as he uses MF Global.

Must be nice getting other people to do your work for you. When are you going to figure out that you are inept? You are so inept that you can't even find the specification for VWAP, one of the simple trading algorithms. Do you even have the slightest clue that there are multiple...

Since there are only 4 public corporations with an AAA S&P rating no such ETF exists.

I really love these posts about all the 1000 lots that come into the S&P pit. The most recent big down day was June 29th with the S&P down more than 36 points. So, what was the S&P pit volume for the day? Only 30,358 contracts for the SEPT contract. So, how many 1000 lot orders could have...

There are other data sources out there. Looking at the bar chart data at BigCharts.com for CME for 2006/OCT/11 the high looks to be about 508.50 and the low about 495.00. BigCharts.com data source is Thomson Reuters.

The current population of the USA is 309,685,753 so 3 million people is far from staggering, it is less than 1% of the population. That $1.65 multiplier number is unsubstantiated nonsense. "handing out billions of unemployment benefits" is a waste of money that produces nothing and in no way...

What about the record low high temperatures elsewhere in the USA? Maybe you would like to explain how global warming gives a high for the day of 103 in Philadelphia and only a high of 65 for San Diego, which is well South of Philadelphia. Record low temperatures in San Diego County...
