    Abercrombie and Fitch-discrimination or capitalism?

    Of course not. White people cannot be discriminated against in this country. From the Univ of Mich decision to the fat guy who was beaten by the police last week (and later died from exhaustion), calling them "crackers, rednecks" and a few other things during the episode...and the problem was...

    Routers-who is right at Comcast?

    Duke, The short answer is that Comcast cannot see past the router once you install it. You could be running 50 computers behind there and they would have a very hard time figuring it out.

    IB margin valuation way off

    illiquid, It sounds like you have two issues, marking to market and a possibly bad liquidation. It looks like you are getting the liquidation worked out. On setting the current value of a contract, aside from splitting the bid/ask of something very lightly traded, how do you propose they...

    Beta Index Futures

    I have heard that the new CFE is considering just such a contract, possibly a mid 04 rollout if the VIX futs/opts do well.

    The SPAM is killing me

    Earthlink is very good as well. I get very little Spam thru them. You must have a few (aol type) non-primary accts to use for all the subscriptions and such. AOL accounts will get spam-bombed anyway, since AOl supports spamming by fellow members.

    Trouble again: Quote.com

    Mine is still off. Resetting servers constantly, data gaps popping up after about 15 mins on one server. It's a piece of shit right now...oh and by the way...fees are going up for it too - "in order to continue to provide you with the best customer service". A little more lube anyone?

    Homicide???....I think not

    Good post aphex. Sulong has it out for the police for reasons that have not been determined yet. I suspect he has had frequent interaction with them in order to form these opinions. Based on his posting, I suspect his attitude, lack of fact gathering before spewing off here and general...

    Homicide???....I think not

    Maureen has it. You three are complete assholes. Be sure to print out your "pig posts" and tape them to your forehead when you need someone to be your daddy at 3am because you got robbed or had your ass kicked. The fact that you call them pigs indicates you are probably known to them. The...

    Organize against IB

    Close your own account, jackass. I think most people who trade real dollars can make grown up decisions on their own and will switch when they feel the service warrants. Until then, enjoy your new brokerage.

    Are all Prop Firms Doomed??

    Are all Prop Firms Doomed?? Nahhhh. Are all pyramid schemes doomed? Of course not. Too many fools still have their money!

    Help!

    If you are accredited, you may be eligible to become an IB bondholder. The return has been 8% for the past few years...an outstanding rate for such a quality note.

    Why there's no 1000 strike for SPX options?

    There are 1000 strikes for them. Most chart packages get the symbology screwed up - QCharts for one. Select Friday's date (21st) and check out PG47 thru PG50 to see the settlements right from the CME...

    Any Series 3 prep classes you would recommend?

    You get either 130 or 150 minutes, definitely over 2 hours. There are 125 questions. It's as much about industry regulations, ethics and proper handling of customer funds as options and futures calculations. You really need to be able to do the math on the softs and interest rate stuff...

    ITM call & put on same stock

    Assuming you are assigned on both, each transaction will occur and you will effectively be left with the cash results, and no stock.

    New ES Margin from CME

    It should be noted that the above is mere speculation on your part and in no way based on any facts. The latest wave of terrorism, the alleged "large selling imbalance from Friday that was going to spill over" all took place AFTER the memo was written last Monday, November 10th. It's...

    New ES Margin from CME

    It seems that CME has bumped up the performance bond requirements on the most index products, some by a LOT (NASDAQ E-Mini). ES margin is now $4,000/$3,200. IB has a notice up this AM to check your new margin requirements as they are effective immediately.

    Hedge funds of ET members

    Well, if I'm running 10mm in one of these play toys and return 100% and charge 1:20, that's some pretty nice gross revs for a year (2.1mm). As a customer, if I drop my mere 2 - 3mm in there and get it doubled in a year, I guess I'd be pretty happy too. Someone please DISMISS me into that play...
