I believe it is because dividends are worth more than the carrying cost. If you notice, the nasdaq (NQ) is the way you are thinking it should be....
There is the Brit election and the ECB tomorrow. It'll probably be pretty quiet until those events finish.
I agree. I was just a little annoyed that people who are bearish are hanging on to any little thing that could conceivably bring the market down....
I'd be interested in positional longs around or below $30 atm. I feel like U.S. production is going to drive price into the ground again. Maybe...
Do people really think a bus attack will actually derail the market? It's slightly possible there could've been selling if it happened during...
How can you say you are 2 for 2 when those bottoms don't affect your trade in any meaningful way? You went long before those "short term" bottoms,...
In your scenario, you did lose money. It is agreed that you are working not for free. The equivalent to trading would be actually making a winning...

I'm of the opinion that IB has the ability to not abandon the trader and stand by their regulators and shareholders. I don't see why the program...
I agree with basically everything except for this. Just because IB has the right to liquidate, that doesn't give them the right to fuck you over...
Yea, I have a hard time believing no one would snatch up a max loss spread before 55 cents in profit. The thing is any remedy you could possibly...
Based on what you have been trading, you'd pay $85 in data fees per month if you go live with them. That's because you get put in the professional...
All of that trouble just for $3,100. What a shame.
Some people like IB's policy on auto-liquidation, but I think it's disgusting and not worth the risk of getting screwed by it. I guess it's a...
