Seriously? http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838145

Actually the last part of this quote contradicts the beginning part - if hardware manufacturers are not designing machines to accommodate XP but Vista then by attrition you ARE being forced to upgrade your software. If new hardware will not support a legacy OS or you don't have the option to...

I kinda felt that LEH was more second tier since the late 80's. Never really thought of them as one of the top 5.

Merrill, Morgan, Goldman.. Who's the 4th?

If this is true, that Goldman refused to use Bear as a counterparty, this means that they effectively sealed Bear's fate and used rumors and fear to drive one of their competitors out of business. That's way too shifty, but with all Goldman has been doing lately to be THE brokerage to deal with...

I'd wager that less than a third that should up were actually "distressed homeowners". This was protesters, they were agitators/activists.

He's one of the people who were feeding the rumors which caused the run on assets. He helped cause this and now he's getting a reward. Nice.

I'm a big fan of trading the Aussie and Kiwi for the past year since their movement seems to reflect the action with the S&P and Dow, not exactly, but enough to pay attention. US equities may have hit bottom, may not, but I think NZD has run its course mid-term. News coming out of NZ has been...

Did anyone get an answer to what is going on with the log files? Curious to know if IB is finally fixing one of the major flaws in their system by using their other servers around the world as redundant backups in the event (quite frequently) that the local server farm goes down.

but ConEd is a MUCH better dividend stock than MSFT.

If you open a chat window with IB, they might be able to determine exactly what it is you need. If that fails, contact def or IBSalvatore on this forum. They both are the ET mouthpieces of IB here and they have been able to help clients who got nowhere with customer service. Better yet...

Nice feature for those that need the ability to transfer monies wordwide, but like the man says, if you don't need it, don't sign up for it. If you're that worried about it, which it seems you're freaking out about it with your posts and poll, then don't activate this feature. And as to...

10k minimum unless IRA or student account.

Yes, for most traders, but not every one CAN get registered.

Go ahead, laugh (as opposed to the ubiquitous teenage texting slang - LOL) but watch - you'll start to see these sub-llc owners coming up with creative ways to recoup the overrides. But that's not the real problem they face - like you said earlier, who's going to put their own money up now...

That's what I was thinking. Maybe an excessive bandwidth usage fee for the active traders. Take the time to figure it out and there are ways for the sub-llc owner to recoup these lost wages w/o the use of a commission override.

No. However I believe you need a HS diploma or equivalent.

Yes, but the problem with Tuco and many other LLC's was that they were charging traders commission override to trade their own funds, which is the purview of b/d's. How then is it an issue of the SEC or the NASD to stop me to charge someone to trade my funds in exchange for a portion of the gains?

OK, you can't take deposits and give leverage. You can't allow a trader to daytrade with less than 25k on deposit. But what, say, if you have a retail account (llc, corp, partnership) with your monies and don't require or accept a deposit from anyone. You "hire" these people to trade your...

If you must trade fom work, I strongly suggest getting a VPS and running your trading software on that ($30+/month) The added cost (modest) is worth the added security of not having your home network vulnerable to attack.
