    IB as an investment

    I've held Interactive Brokers for 3 years, ranging in price from $14.50 to $21.50. It's been a dog. The original IPO structure was setup to favor the existing ownership but I always thought some other company would realize the superior technology at IB and make a bid for it. That hasn't...

    Briefing.com alternatives

    I'm looking for a free alternative to Briefing.com. Basically just want to know what the pre-market movers are. I don't think Briefing.com's $40+ subscription is worth it especially when you now have RSS feeds. Some of the following do have news stories but I would prefer a concise summary...

    Stockvision PowerScan vs Trade-Ideas

    Futures, forex and options data is dependent on the 3rd party provider. IB has very good coverage. Symbol limit is also dependent on provider. I believe IB is max 100 symbols per account. I think you can aggregate the limits of multiple IB accounts. I have 3 accounts so I should be able to...

    Stockvision PowerScan vs Trade-Ideas

    IB scanner has a very limited number of options to apply and you can't add your own. Multicharts looks interesting. The one with easylanguage costs $99/mth without any data. It can link to IB but then you don't have the extensive historical data that Stockfinder provides. In term of...

    Stockvision PowerScan vs Trade-Ideas

    I looked at a number of other real-time scanners, prorealtime, madscan and stockfinder. ProRealTime: One advantage, they allow you to use a BASIC style programming language called ProBuilder so that you can create custom filters. But disadvantage, cost seems to add up very quickly. I was...

    Stockvision PowerScan vs Trade-Ideas

    I downloaded both apps and tried their demos. PowerScan initially has a more intuitive interface. Using their formula/rules manager is straight forward and applying it to stocks by clicking the row to show "on" or "off" makes sense. Trade-Ideas required a little digging. You can create 3...

    Stockvision PowerScan vs Trade-Ideas

    I'm currently leaning towards PowerScan. Can anyone convince why Trade-Ideas would be better? I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the 2 products on the web.

    Watch out on dating sites

    Why are you slamming that pic? Lady looks like she's in her late 40s.. For someone that age, she doesn't look that bad. Dating sites are for people trying to find other people. That includes the average and not so average looking people.

    I-pad

    Happy New Year, people! As 2010 has now settled into the sun, the final tally have come out. Apple sold 14.79 million iPads in 2010. This blows away even the highest analyst estimate of 10 million back in May. Who was it that said it wouldn't even sell 2 million? Estimate are we are...

    Masters in Financial Engineering

    I basically had the same questions. 1. How tough to get into a decent MFE program. 2. I wanted to stay local to NYC and hopefully be inexpensive. Take a look at http://www.quantnet.com. Lots of good stuff on the various schools. The answer to 1. was that any decent program it's...
