    Esignal overseas customers - slow quotes

    2 Different ISP's Simultaneously On One ADSL Line?

    I have a 2.5MB local (but actually 56k or thereabouts internationally) ADSL connection. I was thinking of switching as service quality and port blocking has become too much and prevents me from downloading stock data I need to crunch. The point is the local loop to the ISP is (relatively)...

    International Trading

    KGI in Hong Kong and Phillip in Singapore seem to have the widest range of countries available after US brokers like IB. Can open an account without being resident in either country. UK brokers are idiots who can require things like a "letter of reccomendation from your bank" (like we were...

    Get off this National pastime of pessimism!

    It would be true but he had not figured on the action of evil shorts. I imagine GW will enact some legislation to rein in this unpatriotic activity utilised by terror groups and that undermines the efforts of the troops in Iraq.

    IB Mexico Futures

    Steve, what would really be helpful is cash equity shorts and puts (if liquid) in markets such as Japan and Hong Kong. Some of the Hong Kong stocks have been ramped up to the sky and would make great shorts. Any plans for this?
