If you had to put your capital into one asset for the next 20 years, what would that asset be: 1) Real estate (directly or REITs) 2) Corporate...
I post a thread in the trading forum "If you had to put your capital into..." and I tried to make a poll in it by checking "Yes! Post a poll" but...
This is a good candidate for the type of catalyst I am talking about, although it would practically create zombie banks. Either this, or...
Thanks for the input. I think the catalyst for the 2003 bull market was the US invasion in Iraq on March 20, 2003. I remember the mood was very...
What do you think could be the news that has the potential to spark a 20-30% rally in this market? I think (though I may be wrong), that the...
This is a very powerful idea. It is definitely the next step in the evolution of society. I only hope we can get there safely.

Yes. You can go to the RCG website and check the 'Trading Platforms' section. RCG is one of the big clearing firms in Chicago. I hope you know...
How about RCG? I don't know about overnight margin... But it is a good broker. I've heard good things about Advantage too, so do some more...

Edit: I made some calculations about the transactions I have to make to rebalance the portfolio and it turned out that IB still beats Wells Fargo,...
You are correct, I just saw that. Thanks!
I also checked Wells Fargo. They have $50 annual account maintenance fee, but it can be waived for accounts above $25,000. This means you can...
I think the $10 fee can be avoided at IB, but I will not get any quotes on which to trade. This is not a problem, because I don't need real time...
I am thinking of putting some of my capital in a long-term portfolio. It will be very diversified, mostly through ETFs, and will probably be...
