    Important: If you have a Schwab account & write checks:

    I have a Schwab One account, and write checks drawn from this account. This account includes free unlimited check writing. I just looked at the 'Account History' section on the Schwab website, and their numbers are off. Most checks show the correct amount, while at least five or six are 24-50...

    Anyone see the (Traders under 30" on CNBC

    Traders having ADD?

    Cures? As Chris Rock helpfully points out- they haven't cured shit since polio- and the drug companies are still pissed about that one! I'm ADD, and take 60mg adderal every day, before trading.

    Cramer bashers: got the balls to fade his pick of the wk DKS before tues earnings?

    If he was at least right <i>or wrong</i> the vast majority of the time, his picks would be a useful indicator. As it is, he's around 50/50, which makes him pretty much useless.

    Best broker based on margin rate

    You need to straighten out your facts. A: Byrne never claimed that "him and family owns 98% of the float". He included the top ten institutional holders in ownership of the vast majority of the OSTK float. B: Byrne personally holds 5,830,632 shares...

    Simple concept really. See a post you agree strongly with, and click "Applaud this message" to add your recommendation to the total received. Not an original concept, this is probably the one thing the Yahoo message boards does right...

    Which CNBC Hottie would you go Long?

    In my book, she's disqualified from even being considered female until her hair grows back. Yeah, Becky Quick is the hottest of that bunch. I'd go long some Emma as well.

    How the Hell do I get approved for options?

    The paradox is that they won't let you trade options unless you're experienced. Of course, it's impossible to gain experience unless they let you trade. Bottom line: They want you to lie to them.
