    I have no problem with naked shorting being illegal and enforceable. It is just that when Cramer starts bashing naked shorting he then ALWAYS goes on to include the uptick rule in his rant. The other night he interviewed some congressman and it was clear that the congressman had no idea what the...

    Worst TWS Yet?

    That is your username, encrypted. So it will be different for every person. Best to not give out that file name as I assume it could be reverse engineered into your username.

    Gee, I wonder if the resolution will be beneficial to Goldman Sachs or not.

    More stimulus checks: dollar going to zero

    What a crock of sh*t. Throwing good money after bad. Take this to the limit, why not give everybody 1 billion dollars? Everyone would be rich rich rich!

    When have actions liked this ever worked? Our stocks are going down - cry to mommy! Please don't make our stocks go down anymore - please! Pansies. Anybody who wants the uptick rule reinstated doesn't want a fair market for both sides. I cannot understand anyone who wants to give up the...

    IB will eliminate intraday margin reductions. Commencing at 12:00 EST today

    So you are insinuating that IB knows where your stops are and will use that knowledge to its advantage? I believe that this notion has been rebuked more than once on this forum. I for one like the extra liquidity that IB provides. If I want out, they are there to take the other side of the...

    Chuck Schumer is a idiot.

    Is there a link to this that I can read (or a video)? I need to read/hear it with my own eyes to believe. If it is true, I hope everyone contacts him to tell him how retarded he is: http://schumer.senate.gov/SchumerWebsite/contact/webform.cfm

    IB API Order ID question

    I believe when you connect to the API you specify a client ID. Make sure the client ID is not 0 (i.e., 1) and then you will never see manual orders via the API. If you want the API to be able to track and modify manual orders, well then I have never heard of a guaranteed solution for your problem.

    Paradox of value investing

    But this would be a very irrational way of "investing" performance-wise. Value investors are just traders on a longer time frame.

    tax stimulus checks

    Actually, that is the most patriotic thing you could do. Give the finger to the complete assholes who thought this stimulus crap was a good idea. Just put it in the bank and say piss off to the idiots who run this country.

    Wiring money out of IB to other broker

    You are right, but that hasn't stopped about 100 people in the past starting "Can't get my money out of IB - IB sucks!" threads. If you are careful with your wiring instructions and you don't change them often, you will have no problems with IB.

    Barclay's bank says "head for the hills"

    And meanwhile, retired people on fixed income get reamed out of their hard earned savings. I guess somebody has to lose - why not sacrifice the people who were intelligent enough to stick to a sound financial plan instead of the banks who foolishly speculated on mortgages with ultra-leverage...

    Barclay's bank says "head for the hills"

    He certainly isn't helping any. With inflation running at 7.5% (http://www.shadowstats.com/), and the Fed foolishly setting rates absurdly low, no wonder commodities are skyrocketing. Don't tell me oil would be at $130+ if the interest rate were even close to being reasonable. Who controls the...

    Barclay's bank says "head for the hills"

    If their mission is to turn dollars into toilet paper, then I agree.
