    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    They announced in another thread they created for a deal on their plans that it will be this month now. ROFL, at this point.

    Massive Systemic Failuare at Schwab

    After they made the announcement about the merger is when the issues started. Layoffs and people leaving not waiting to find out if they are considered a duplicate employee was my guess at the problems.

    Massive Systemic Failuare at Schwab

    I have the same email, the problem from my perspective is this just pushed the issue, but it has been going on for roughly a year now and they don't seem to be improving.

    Massive Systemic Failuare at Schwab

    I was just trying to sell some calls against my position in MSFT and keep getting the message that they don't have the strike loaded and contact them to resolve the issue. I had the same issue late last year and it took 30 minutes to get someone to load the symbol. I tried multiple strikes not...

    Massive Systemic Failuare at Schwab

    Schwab has been having issues for the last 6 months at least. The crap going on now I'm sure adds to it, but I have had issues with getting a hold of people for a few months now. I moved my long term accounts with a significant amount of asset to them back in 2011 and they were fantastic. I...

    Bill Gates: America’s Top Farmland Owner

    My mistake, I misread the document I was looking at, the 10 acres plus the house went for $80,000. I did a quick look and wasn't paying attention. The land price is on a document I sent back to my father in law after reviewing it for him. Why he had me review it I don't know since my advice was...

    Bill Gates: America’s Top Farmland Owner

    Nice, their land was in Mitchell county, and I just double checked and the sale was actually 3 years ago now. I looked up the auction price and he actually did all right looking at those values, roughly $8000 an acre for the farm land, it was the 10 acres with the house that went for much less...

    i am trading ~2000 contracts per month

    I used to use Advantage and I think you can ask for a personalized quote still. Also, at least back a few years ago, the customer service was fantastic.

    Bill Gates: America’s Top Farmland Owner

    Crap, my father in law didn't get anything close to that selling off 100 acres in Iowa a year ago.

    Market data connection lost

    One of the other issues just happened for the 2nd time this morning, which is the platform locking up when I do a save after a few adjustments in preparing for the day.

    Market data connection lost

    I am still having the same data disconnect issues. I am not seeing the same issues on the back up platform or with my other computer or phone at the same time these are occurring with IB. This and a few other issues in the past year have me starting to look for another main futures platform.

    RIP

    Sorry to pop in, but have to add photo of don Sutton in a Brewer uniform. He was a great addition to the Brewers for a few years. https://www.gletech.com/StockPhotos/Baseball/1983/11757/front_150074.jpg

    In July 2010, the Warriors were purchased for an NBA record $450 million.

    Back in the early 60's my Dad had a client in Chicago who wanted to try and buy out the Bears from the Halas family. My Dad said initially he thought the guy was kidding until he came in with the finance package he was going to propose and wanted my Dad to go in on with him. Apparently it was a...

    TWS locking up on Save again

    It freezes, I am unable to do anything. I have had it happen with orders a couple of times lately also. I haven't had many issues until this last year and usually after an update. It was freezing again today, but as the day goes on it seems to get better. I am reaching the point of looking for...

    TWS locking up on Save again

    Anyone else experiencing TWS locking up when you do a Save? I had an update yesterday, and e had it happen once yesterday, but today it is a problem all the time and it seems the computer is bogged down. I did a DSL reports speed test and had a whopping 81 megabits per sec download but 14...

    IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship Canada versus USA

    Cool! I watched hockey when I was a kid, but never really followed it. When I went to the U of Minnesota I got into college hockey and love the college games. The best were the Gophers vs. Badgers. The crowds and atmosphere in Mariucci arena was great. During one game a Badger fan tossed a dead...

    Looking For a Good Trading Rig For Low Cost?

    I was wondering that myself. It shows in the product description as a 3 year, but the description at the top says 90 day Amazon warranty, so a little confusing.

    Looking For a Good Trading Rig For Low Cost?

    I just clicked and they are showing another 5 available at the moment. The Amazon one FortuneTeller posted comes with a 3 year Dell warranty, and I don't see one for the EBay one, so that is a nice add on.

    Traders...how did you do in 2020? I crushed it after two blown out accounts!

    Congratulations! Keep it up, and remember discipline all the time. For me it was an average year. I met my income goals, but missed quite a few stock plays that followed past plays after crap hits the markets. An example is the hit FEDEX took, bringing it down to around 90. I jumped on that as...

    I have to check, but pretty sure I'm at 1920x1080 on the current monitors. Maybe just have to buy all new monitors!
