Trust me, you want the government to intervene (and prohibit) if you borrow at 100%, because then clearly you're not intelligent, educated or...

The CNBC dolts are bending over backwards to look tough these days, so they might give this one a run. But they would probably twist it into a...
I believe it is fraudulent, illegal and certainly usurious. A court might disagree (Hey, a court once found OJ innocent). Regulators might...
Doesn't matter who is doing the loaning to whom, or what is being lent, or whether it's even a completely private transaction between two...
This stipulation in the agreement, if it is indeed fraudulent or illegal or even usurious, negates the agreement. If somebody gives you a document...
Only someone as toothless and lame and probably corrupt as the S.E.C. would allow this. I think A.G.'s and maybe even state banking...
It's illegal, especially if you're not notified in advance of the rate or the methodology/benchmarks for determining the variability. At least in...
I understand the libertarian argument, but the lack of regulation over the years has led to, paradoxically, credit cards companies being able to...
You don't know what the negative daily compounding issue is with a lot of short and leveraged ETFS? And you're giving advice on here about ETFs?

I have futures in my IRA and try not to use it. Contract size is what? $115K. That's more than I was to have riding on this position. Yeah, I know...
Guys, I just found this thread. I got to tell you that if it is true, it should be criminal to charge 35% ESPECIALLY WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE...
I want a long-term hold position, preferably in an IRA, so a short position is not possible. The TBT and other ETFs, if inherently short of...
I am looking for an instrument, besides bond and futures that, unlike say TBT, will not have the decay from daily compounding. It doesn't need to...
IB charges 35% to short stock? Is this new? A special case? Never happened to me but I have never shorted Sears, unfortunately.
I don't think anyone, including FX brokers, does a good job with tax forms for cash Forex. It's too new, the nature of the beast, optional whether...
I am in the same boat, and then you have to factor in the interest paid and accrued, the carry. IB does not have it together with regard to cash...
