The Palestinians are mad at the wrong people. Their fellow Arab governments told them to flee Israel after the British transferred power over to the Israeli government. Arabs who stayed in Israel became Israeli citizens who have it a lot better than Arabs living anywhere else in the Middle...

You're talking about stuff that happenned centuries ago. What's been going on during the last 25 years; Moslems causing bloodshed and violence.

Respond to terrorism by doing EXACTLY what the terrorist would most want us to do? Are you crazy? What kind of message does that send to every terrorist in the world? It says "bomb us and then we will give in." We must NEVER allow the world to think that they can control our foreign policy...

I don't know much about the Moslem religion. Other people here pretend they know about it when they really don't. What I do know, as anyone who reads the newspapers knows, is that Islam is tied to a lot of war and terrorism. You never heard of Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, or other...

sallyboy, Thanks for the info, but I still don't follow. Suppose that two market makers have asks of 100 shares each at 2.35 and 2.36. I have an ask on the Island at 2.37 for 1000 shares. Then some guy comes along and places a market order for 1000 shares. What happens?

The news and charts at my other online brokers aren't as good as Yahoo (for news) and MSN MoneyCentral (for charts). Level II quotes: Datek gives you three Level II windows for the low price of $9.99/month. Well worth the money, in my opinion. It can give you hours of entertainment just...

There is so much talk on this forum about Interactive Brokers. I looked at their website, only $1 commission to trade 100 shares. WOW! That's so low. So what's the catch? How can they make money giving away their services for practically nothing? Datek charges $10 for the same trade...
