    IB backfill is terrible!

    They're ok... had them side-by-side for three months... couldn't justify paying $500 a year more than I do now ($60), for all the charting that I need.

    YHOO...still a takeover at these levels???

    It would take too long to explain to you why I see this, so don't bother asking, but I see all virtual companies going broke, being sold for the surplus value of their office chairs... just like a big, fancy house worth a million bucks back East. At the bottom of the cycle, the builder would be...

    IB backfill is terrible!

    QT is dynamite! The best bang for the chart buck bar-none, unless you need to backtest. I see IB as a gorgeous, stuck-up blonde with perfect tits and ass, who teases, sticks her ass back and blows kisses, but never really puts out the experience that she advertises, and who disses all that...

    Thanks, I'm ready for lunch now.

    What's your target for the bear rally?

    Agreed, but with the adrenaline pumping going on, we could see a shot to 11k before she resumes her trajectory down to 7000 or lower.

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    Who the hell is that? It's called getting back to what works. Today's idea of banking is simply not sustainable. I've already seem the opposite of simplifying... bailout after bailout.

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    I hold the unpopular view that banks should have zero accountability to/control by government (except via courts, laissez faire, meaning an educated public not too busy to actually READ), but all accountability to their depositors (read: tighter credit, more savings, lower interest rates...

    Obama-Biden Tax Calculator

    Buncha crap. He's a tax-and-spend libby. His own words about wealth redistribution was enough for me to tune him out.

    IB backfill is terrible!

    Call support or chat online. They will act like it's the first time anyone has complained about it. Former IB client

    YHOO...still a takeover at these levels???

    Well, the greedy fucks of YAHOO could have pocketed alot of cash from MSFT, but their leaders weren't watching the cycle clock and got reamed up the ass for billions of equity. Simple greed.

    'Smart Money' Stays on the Sides -wsj

    I've been on the side for 5 weeks now. Still dabble, but very low size. I trade, I don't gamble.

    Agreed. Regardless of who wins 3 weeks from today.

    Scary tax situation I need advice

    That is the same as throwing yourself at the mercy of the court. Unless you have a tax attorney relative, or 50k set aside for this purpose, eat it and learn.

    They are not asking. We are only here to pay their bills and provide entertainment.

    meats

    >>meats>> I'll have two double-doubles with fries, 7-up and a vanilla shake. I'll have a quad king fatburger on the char with chili, cheese, egg, bacon, fat fries and rolaids. Choose either one, based upon where you live in the West.

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    If you mean "we" the voting citizens, no, we never learn. Ever since electronic media, attention spans and memories have fallen by factors of ten. The taxpayers are already footing the bill, by default. Every government-backed debt instrument, promise and contract is backed by "the full faith...

    If Banks Are So Important They MUST Be Bailed Out... at taxpayer expense

    gnome, you are much smarter than that, and I assume you said that for the sake of conversation. I'll bite. Lending leverage works well for the banker's profit until the borrowers cash out more money than there is in the vault. I only wish I could use the same theory with time, and sell 64...

    Governments taking major stakes in banks could push real estate prices to 05-06 highs

    You overlook the fact that you cannot do business with people who don't have any money. Homeowners don't lose their homes because they cannot afford the interest rate, they lose their homes because they signed on the dotted line for a loan they could not afford to make payments on. When the jobs...

    This is officially a Bull Market now

    One element of a bull market does not a bull market make. Your conclusion was very short-term thinking. Have you forgotten that it can come down quicker than it went up? Just another bump up in a bear market. It can be revived, if allowed to correct, but injecting epinephrine into the heart...
