By the way, I consider it hand holding when all of this information is clearly accessible on IB's web page and the starter of this thread either didn't take the time to read it or is just ignorant on the subject.

Did you read the rules on withdrawals on IB's web page? It is clear that this individual did not.

If you want to overpay for your trading, be my guest. I have had an account at IB since they started their retail operations and no one even comes close to what they offer. Now if you need hand-holding, then IB is not your place.

Do you expect people to be sympathetic to your assertions when it is your own fault that you didn't keep up to date with the latest security measures at IB? If you had, you would have been enrolled in the STP program and you wouldn't be bitching right now. You're missing out if you don't...

Run a 3rd party app to synch your clock and then just use your clock as the ultimate authority.

If DNDN were being naked shorted then why couldn't the naked shorters create enough supply on Friday March 30th to overwhelm the market? Why did DNDN pop roughly 3-fold if there was infinite supply?

So is naked shorting DNDN not a good proposition now because the company has turned out to have some prospect of good fundamentals?

If people were naked shorting DNDN, haven't they been taken to the cleaners now?

Right. If it works that is great. However, unless results can be verified scientifically through controlled testing, I am skeptical of any claims about any type of medicine.

Sorry to say but this post makes you sound a tad out there. Certainly alternative medicine can make people think they feel better and that can lead to people becoming better. However, very few alternative medicines are proven to do anything. If it works for you, that's great. But claiming...

If I have elected mark-to-market accounting, and I held a stock over its dividend date and met the requirements for a qualified dividend, is the dividend still qualified? If the answer is yes to the above question, suppose I hold a stock for 70 days starting December 1st and its dividend is...

It would be so easy to find all bidders above the close on SPAR 15 minutes before Cramer's Thursday evening show. Just track the ARCA and INET orders that happened then. I'm sure any investigator could take it from there.

Yes, the question is if that is illegal. If it is, it should be very easy to track who it is.

I believe the real jackasses are the people buying SPAR on at $26+ in Thursday evening afterhours 15 minutes before his show even airs (5:45pm EST). It is obvious someone knows the symbols he is going to pump before he talks about them.

Except for your last post, I think you have consistently shown a poor attitude in this entire thread. Calling me "snarky" seems ironic, however it is much better than the insults you've doled out before. Obviously naked shorting should not be allowed. The sticking point in my mind is not...

This slide show was obviously created by Patrick Byrne, OSTK CEO. So there is an inherent bias to the presentation to promote his views. For example, always using a grandmother as the person being screwed over is a classic example of things that make me go "hmmmmm" (for example, flytiger...

There was a thread on ET started by someone who suffered something similar to this. As I recall, IB had recently changed something about the API for family and friends accounts and this guy had not updated his code properly. It made his program repeatedly buy and then sell at the market. I...

That one flew over your head, didn't it?

Is that me? If so, I'm honored. Otherwise, how do I get on this exclusive list?

For example, here is the definition of a "clearly erroneous" trade as deemed by Nasdaq: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader/tradingservices/marketwatch/clearlyerroneousguide.pdf So if you get a print on a stock that is outside these ranges and is an abnormality, the trade could later be...
