    Thank You to the people who brought this to IB's attention, and to the IB team for fixing it so promptly. I'd seen this problem too with my account and was really glad to stumble across this thread and see that it has been fixed.

    Hedge Funder Ed Lampert Is Shelling Out $40 Million For This home

    Often rich people are buying houses with unique locations. If Eddie Lampert really wants to live in an exclusive island off of the coast of Florida, he can't necessarily look at 10 houses and pick the perfect one that meets all of his needs. Only 30 lots exist on this island, and probably this...

    Why does California have so much industry/jobs?

    Here is one anecdotal data point: I'm about to close on a house in SoCal. I was only making offers on fixer-upper houses priced to sell near the beach. I offered a little lower than the asking price on the first, but I didn't get my offer in in-time and they took another one. I offered...

    When the boomers lose their pensions. That's when it will get violent.

    My Mother In Law once pointed out that her pension is guaranteed by the State Constitution...she doesn't seem to notice that the CA state constitution changes through ballot measures on a fairly regular basis. It's irrelevant anyway. Governments can't legislate reality. Whether its...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    Where the people in line paying their cable bill in person? The 2 times, I have had to return a cable-modem, there were all of these people in line in front of me, who were apparently paying their cable bill in person! This blew my mind that a large amount of people travel to the cable...

    What is the best way to consume Turmeric?

    I put it in my scrambled eggs in the morning. It doesn't change the taste and it makes them a more appealing bright yellow color.

    2 Weeks payed vacation is miserable existance

    Actually, I think working the long hours with little free-time is probably one of the causes of our high-consumption society. People without a lot of leisure time, try to find pleasure in consumption instead in the hopes that it will increase the value of what little leisure time they do have...

    Any Prosper.com lenders here?

    I haven't logged into my prosper account in several years. Thanks for reminding me of this....I should log in and get the rest of my money out of that shithole. I think it has been almost 3 years since I got in, so whatever loans that didn't default are probably paid off now. (BTW, search my...

    TWS API Help: Day's Opening Price

    Thanks for your help guys. I am getting tick 14 now and those other ticks as well. It looks like the times I had originally tested this during live trading, I had a small bug in my code that was excluding the tick, and other times I was testing this using the edemo/demouser account when those...

    TWS API Help: Day's Opening Price

    Just to clarify, I was talking about getting the day's official opening price during live trading like is shown within Trader Workstation. Are you saying that during the regular trading day, I can call "reqHistoricalData()" and request a daily bar for the current day, and get the current day's...

    TWS API Help: Day's Opening Price

    How do you obtain the day's opening price from the TWS API? From the API examples, I was thinking I should be checking for tickType==14 in the tickPrice handler, but tickType 14 never shows up. While, I'm at it, I've also never seen TickType=6, or TickType=7 (presumably the day's high and...

    Poor parenting = Dismembered kid.

    And yet probably 1000's of 8 year olds walked on the street in NY on that same day and were just fine...but this one case proves that children should be cooped up inside all day or have helicopter parents buzzing circles around them any time they go outside.

    what do you guys think about the term 'gouging'?

    If they don't do this, then you're going to have shortages in the aftermath of a disaster. I remember reading a story where during one of the recent hurricanes there where 2 enterprising men who spent several hours driving to another town that was not effected by the disaster, and purchased...
