Off topic: I find it ironic that the Fed is willing to bend over backwards to make sure a bank doesn't fail but it won't lift a finger to help MF Global clients. It certainly clarifies who the Fed is in bed with.

Yes, I'll summarize for everyone just starting this thread: nitro says: Dividend paying stocks good! Nondividend paying stocks bad!* * = except for AAPL!

This isn't whining? It's whining in my book. I guess you have a different outlook on things. That's fine. But by essentially supporting the OP (who is a freaking idiot), you must be grouped in the idiot circle too. Sorry. And by the way, note how the OP has gone silent after he got...

I call BS. Come on, prove it. I don't understand how you can possibly believe you entered an order a particular price and it shows up as a different price in the audit trail. The simplest and most logical explanation is that you made some subtle error during order entry. It has happened to me...

Just make the CEOs financially liable for their own companies and things will straighten out really quickly.

Stupid question, but how come my energy bill doesn't go down (house heated by natural gas) when the price of natural gas goes down?

If I were you, I'd just use Interactive Brokers. They have a C++ version of their API. Furthermore, the API can be easily ported to whatever programming language you want because underneath it is just socket programming. If you are as good as you make yourself out to be, then this port shouldn't...

You come on here and defend a complete idiot. What does that make you? Thanks for the death and bad luck!

Actually, the OP "lost" very little money which pisses me off to no end. If he actually had "lost" money, then it would be more fitting the situation.

I'm laughing because wow you are another "special" person where even though millions of orders go through IB at the correct price, they screwed you over on your one order. You need to take some responsibility, just like the OP. [B] Oh please do. Can't wait. [B] Another idiot.

Wow, cannot believe how much of a dick you are. Come on, show us your audit log for that day, unedited. What does it say, dickhead? I wish you had been filled at 9X.XX instead, would have served you right.

Well then you are a freaking idiot too.

Why don't you show us the audit log line that corresponds to this particular trade? Don't doctor it either. It will show that you screwed up. I have done hundreds of thousands of trades through IB and if there was ever a mistake in pricing it was because of my own stupid fault. So take some...

In some cases it does where the same symbol is traded on multiple exchanges throughout the world.

Personally I would. I don't see how people over-leverage in such spectacular fashion and blow up. But it happens all the time. Some people must be predisposed to gambling in a huge way.

But it feels so good when it's working. It's the crack-cocaine of trading.

Not talking about Europe. Don't care about Europe. I'm talking about the financial crisis in 2007-2008 and the Fed and our government's response to it.

I have already suggested an alternative. Let all the banks who were overleveraged burn in hell and die the pathetic death they deserve. It would have cleansed the system like capitalism is designed to do. Painful in the short term, yes, but better in the long run for everyone. But for people who...

I'll criticize whatever the hell I want to. The Fed has done a terrible job at everything it has touched in the past 15 or so years. It bails out reckless people and screws over prudent people. It has pretty much assured the nuking of people's savings by making the dollar worthless. It has not...

Such a convincing argument! Closing my account today!
