    So this was like trading in the late 90s?

    Took a mutual fund... "Ultra"??? Bought it at a dollar, sold it 9 months later for $1.30-$1.40. I want to say..... '96?? (We rejuvenated the exterior of a 3-unit Queen Anne Revival. "Yay, us!") That was a small taste. Played an office pool (My entry: The Detritus Fund -- where I bought/sold...

    No way. In 11 years with IB, I have not had a data issue last this long. I'm not sure I've had one last more than an hour. Ever. I *certainly* have not had 'multiples'..... This one sucks, though! It do suck. It do suckage Big Time. Big. Time. Suck. I can tell just what the market is...

    Zero. Absolutely zero. The Dead were/are, by their own admission, first and foremost libertarian. It is a false dichotomy to juxtapose a societal awareness as being at odds with a libertarian outlook. One says, "We don't need no gummint -- we can govern ourselves!" while the other says...

    Amazing. I’ve tried to give away my methodology...

    "at least anyone who publishes,..." Look in any business school around the world -- there are hundreds of thousands. Find one where they ignore volume. (Hint: you won't.) ;)

    If you don't have at least one semester like that, "you're not doing it right." Your *job* right now is education. You are *building* personal capital. Don't fuque around: work hard, *play* hard, and work hard some more. You will *not* regret it.

    ally invest ... opinions/experiences?

    Well, there's a filtering effect in there: if you don't like the interface (and simply take it as it's given), then they don't want you. [That's the legend, anyway. It was the legend 10 years ago, and they've even quadrupled their customer service since then. FWIW and all that.] The thing about...

    Deep in the money options

    If you look at volume by strike -- whether daily or O.I., you'll notice lumping around major strikes. Would be good to pay attention to that, whether you intend an exit or not.

    Looking for someone to talk to during the day

    I heard Chevy immediately, but honestly, had to really think about Danny Noonan. (And I actually saw the kid's face, and hair, in my head. Sheeesh. When reality and fiction cross you up.... I'm so glad it's Friday.:rolleyes:) vZ! Can you identify the exclamation, "Sonja Henie's tutu!!" :D...

    ally invest ... opinions/experiences?

    I had a small IRA there for many years -- just to try it out. Stayed flat through the financial crisis, writing covered call on AMD and some little pharmas. (Again, "just for grins.") Depends on what you want them for, but from the get-go, I described them as "The firm I'd aim my Grandmother...

    People R (reverse that) stupid, fer sure. I have nearly given up. The worst was a gal who thought she could scalp the ES, lay ES credit spreads (at a time when there was movement), AND plant petunias and plan weddings and fix her niece's hair and wash her car cuz her dad was coming over and...
