Hey SSB, are there ANY brokers you DON'T complain about??? Heh. Just messin' with you! :D Good luck to all. :cool:

:D

That's a steal at $2K/month. Normally, you'd have to sign up with Niederhoffer to get that kind of volatility! :D

Yeah, I was out of school for quite awhile before that happened. Very bad stuff. One of my old girlfriends lived in an apt complex where that guy killed a girl. Forgot that scumbag was named Rollins. I thought you meant Rollins College. I hung out there some when I lived in Orlando...

Hey I lived in the Ghetto a couple years! Just across Uni Ave and a little down from the Library. Nice Babes over at Rollins, too... :D

It's over. Congratulations Gators! Great teams and coaching from Florida the last few years. "Wayne Gibbous", U of F Class of '85, Electrical Engineering

Good gawd. Gators are pouring 'em in!

NOW you tell me! :D Would have been worth investing in a couple OTM calls. I gotta start listening better... Good trading to all. :cool:

Thanks for the info. I think there was a blurb in the WSJ about "buyout rumors" So I guess that a lot of it was sharp traders (not me :() guessing, or seeing the activity and jumping on board. But there had to be a leak somewhere! What's the chance that somebody gets in trouble for...

What is puzzling about the whole GB - Iran thing, is that those soldiers - within a couple days - started talking about how they were wrong and violated Iran's space??!! For gosh sakes, there wasn't a mark on 'em that I saw! Never have I seen soldiers roll over so fast. Did Iran withhold...

I was recently short FDC, off and on, and made money every trade. Last week I was short 800 shares. But I got out fast... They were just short term overbought trades for scalps. Usually a pretty good hit rate, but one bad trade could wipeout many good ones. Anyway, since they are system...

This just came to me...FWIW (not much!) Does anybody else think Thunderdog is the dearly departed dbphoenix? Their sentence structure and style are quite similar, if I remember correctly..

I feel the same way, unfortunately it was a "bug" in my auto-trading program that let margin risk get too high. I was at work and didn't know until after the close. I have portfolio limit algos, but some orders didn't get canceled. But the cool thing was, for once, I actually made money on...

They don't close the shades? :D

Not at a broker like IB. They have real-time margin compliance algos that close you out in a hurry. They work well, too. I've been over the "overnight" limit a couple times (just stock trades) and when it got close to 4:00, things happened fast! Worked out well tho, all the positions...

What's interesting is that they are playing OS, again, for a Championship. Bassetball This Time! And didn't I remember a B-ball game earlier this year, in which da Gators thrashed da Buckeyes (86-60)....

:confused: Where is UCLA? Did they miss the plane?
