I am starting to believe you are a shill for the brokerage industry. Not sure why else you'd be sticking up for a broker instead of a trader reporting an outage. Do you work for Lightspeed? Furthermore, WebTrader is not a "back facility" nor would it have helped in this instance even if it...

No preferred number, just the main number.

Yes, a very long outage. The outage was nearly 2 full hours, 1 hour and 55 minutes to be exact. As for Web Trader, my understanding is that it is either/or (not both) when it comes to Lightspeed Trader (DMA) and Web Trader (non DMA). As you mentioned, they are separate and have different...

Serious stability issues today, completely down for over an hour this morning. 35 minute queues to get through to a rep on the telephone. Unlike other retail brokers who own up to their outages by providing commission rebates, Lightspeed is refusing to do so. Looking for another broker.

Ed, with all due respect, please don't start with the Zimbabwe. The Chinese will continue to buy our bonds as it is in their own best interests to do so. I don't want to blow too many minds here, but it might come as a surprise to learn that the US Govt does not fund its spending via foreign...

Deflation is the unmitigated disaster outcome. That is why the deficit and its service should be of little or no concern while we try to stop a full-on deflationary depression. Right now, the deficit and its service are the least of our problems, particularly as the sole-issuer of the...

This is the correct answer. Most likely a vwap print. And just fyi guys, dark pools do print to the tape in real time, they are supposed to print between the nbbo and usually do. Sometimes they are late.

Bingo. Bernanke is pushing on a string. He can "print" until the cows come home and not make a dent in the overwhelming delflationary pressures. There is no inflation, so says the bond market. There is only deflation. To say otherwise shows a lack of understanding of our single-issuer...

Train leaving the station on this one. I'm no gold bug, but this feels like a trend you don't want to miss. I'm playing it long-term in physical. Advise you stay away from the gold ETFs for anything other than a trade.

You are not in compliance and are asking for an audit.

I've never used TradeLog, but it seems pricey to me. There are other options available for Schedule D prep that are considerably less expensive.
