I seem to be repeating myself...if you don't like IB, simply get another broker and stfu. Why anyone would use IB for a big corporate account, I have no freakin idea. Use a "full service" broker for that if you need ANY kind of handholding, or you need to speak to reps immediately and have...

What the hell - if she makes money she oughta be selling "training" just like most everybody on ET these days! :p

Of course one of the biggest problems, is all of the clunkers that go to the pinks, get delisted, bankrupt, etc., that drop off your scans. These thudders probably had a few wins, but also probably wacked the system with huge losers when they kept on diving day after day. They aren't in the...

Cute. :p

Yeah, still QQQQ. They'll get it fixed up soon...

I think the name changed back to QQQ. IB probably doesn't have it in the symbol list yet. edit: No, it's PowerShares QQQ. What the freak is the symbol??? Is it still the same??? http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070410/0237084.html

that's funny as hell. but what's sad, is that i bet it's a real "training video" from an actual vendor. oh man, when he clicks the wrong trade and starts cussing...fcking hilarious.

There is a reason IB calls themselves "The Professional's Gateway to World Markets". If you can't get TWS to work, if you don't know what the different status colors mean, if you can't understand why they hold your money until funds clear, if you have a shitty ISP and you bother IB when data...

What's trading done for me? Home sweet home...

Just wait for the High Reliability Cramer Indicator! :D When da Crams sez Sell --> BUY When da Crams sez Buy --> SELL

I guess I must have a good trading method. Even with a substandard Hughesnet Satellite ISP and 6 year old computer, I'm able to easily trade many many stocks, options and futures, transfer money between IB and banks and run my automated API trading system, day after day, year after year...

I always thought it interesting that this "great man" and "leader", whom CNBC trots out as a hero every other week, is an admitted liar and cheat. Isn't someone who cheated on his wife, a liar and cheat? That's upstanding behavior? And didn't he let GE shareholders pay for an expensive...

'Zactly correct. Sure, those guyz are BSDs and make a zillion bux, but my heroes are those of us who battle it out, on home computers, in retail accounts at 2-4X margin, with minimal resources (sorry, prop dudes) and beat the market year after year! WTG! :cool:

He'll probably survive... Unlike the poor ol' Grease Man. :(

Far as I know, the only thing that gets sent to the IRS from trading is the 1099-B, not any supplemental. Sounds like that is just from your broker to try and help you fill out Sched D. Do those trades deduct commission? A computer will try to match up Gross Proceeds from Sales (Box 2) and...

:D

I just hope it works out better than ol' Steve Superior did! :p

Not to worry, you can deduct $3K per year in the future to offset gains...for 66 years! :( Sounds like you're f*cked for last year. US tax laws suck. But I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, so if this is more than hypothetical get help fast.

WWCD? (what would crammer do) He'd get real short, then pass off some rumors to the Pisani's and Faber's of the World..."I heard that the largest shareholder and founder is gonna get investigated..." :p

Is Crammer really as ugly in person, as he is on TV??? :p
