    Global Colding..........

    So, a 1-week cold snap invalidates a 1-century warming trend? Do you trade using the same stupidity? It's a miracle you can use the computer...

    What is "Dividend Accrual"

    Exactly. Thanks for a reasonable reply. I have no problem with risk. I have a problem factoring dividend into risk/reward. Haven't thought this through. You obviously take on more risk, which may not be worth it. This was the crux of my question, which the trolls here ignored. ET posers like el...

    What is "Dividend Accrual"

    Read the original post, moron. In this case, the trade and dividend amounts are peanuts. But if one has to factor in the dividend when computing risk/reward for stocks with dividends, things obviously get complicated. Again, this was my question: How does one account for dividend in a...

    What is "Dividend Accrual"

    A few weeks ago, I day traded MSFT and held LLY for a few days. Since then, my broker (IB) statement has shown "Dividend Accrual" for these two, payable on Dec 10. I literally owned them for a few days, and I am being assessed dividends equivalent to the number of shares times the payout...

    Divergence of the Major Indices

    At one point this morning, which seems typical, the indices were: Dow: -0.11% S&P: -0.46% NAZ: - 1.19% Relative to the Dow, right now the NAZ seems composed of more negatively performing stocks. The S&P is somewhere in between. Should the operators of the NAZ 'care'? Can any trading...

    Wind energy not viable says CERN's head

    Using wind as a counter-example to solar thermal is an over-simplification. Wind does not necessarily blow when the sun does not shine. Also, wind does not store the energy. There are a variety of ways to store solar thermal energy for release at night after the sun has set. One method uses...

    This will save you some trouble: https://www.collective2.com/ Most of the systems on C2 are verifiable junk, but some are the verifiable real deal and won't cost you $10k.

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    TN- Thanks, you've confirmed I've got problems unique to my systems at home and at work, both of which take forever to load TWS, which is why I assumed a TWS issue. Internet connections are both fast. Hmmm, maybe there's a setting I need to tweak. Much obliged for your feedback. Martin

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    On my system, which has decent speed, the TWS login box takes a few minutes to load. After I've entered my login info (including the numerical codes), it takes another few minutes for the TWS application to load and start. Why does it take 5 minutes to launch TWS? Seems rather unnecessary...
