I have really been enjoying TradeStation … but lately the data integrity has become a major issue. The Position Graph Bar typically has very accurate quotes, but RadarScreen has different/wrong/delayed quote data. I just don’t see how you can use a platform where you aren’t sure if the quote data is timely.
( I have been [...]
For a while I used to stream my own CNBC from my house for work … I am techie enough to figure that out. The main reason I set this up was for the Tour De France (when Lance was crushing it).
I just recently discovered CNBC Plus and I have to say it’s really really [...]
I have been a subscriber off and on for a while. I like the consistent analytical approach to their stock ratings and in particular the IBD 100 and Big Cap 20 rankings.
I now just subscribe to the site and the electronic edition and one thing that really irritates me is that they still flash all [...]
Thank you Apple, Inc. … looks like we are going to get some Enterprise Relief!
AppleInsider post

This will boost the stock too. [...]

They call it a “platform as a service” … I am intrigued and as such I created a developer [...]
The Evolution of an Investor
A great article about the other Las Vegas?
I need to read some of the books that are referenced in this article (Winning the Loser’s Game and A Random Walk Down Wall Street). But for now, I still think I can outperform with my small speculative accounts! However, for my [...]
I started using Basecamp for work and it’s great. Simple and useful … I share information with colleagues and our outside service providers. I love being able to post documents, ideas, articles, etc …
I have also integrated some Google Spreadsheets of our futures and stock positions using iframes … very very [...]
In the process of researching return on cash, I discovered that TradeStation a) only pays 1.25% APY on idle cash and b) allows you to buy Money Market Funds, but they aren’t marginable, and c) thus if you are an option seller you can’t take advantage of buying treasuries like you can at Schwab, E*Trade, [...]
