This must be on top priority. I cannot live one more day with the idea that I am trading in an environment where I am a lamb to be slaughtered because of stupid rules.
i can tell you were born a lamb and you deserved to get the shear...bend over here it comes heh heh (oh shut up you're used to it)
I think this is about all we can do now. I e-mailed them yesterday, and as before, when I complained, I have not got a response back. When this PDT rule first came into place, I called them and talked to a represenative on the phone, who told me that we had our chance to speak out against the rule before it went into force, the only thing , which I told him was that I had never heard of it and I had been trading for quite a while. Needless to say, I was hung up on. It appears that it is a done deal, however, I think more people should e-mail them with complaints. Just think about Jack in "One flew Over The Coo Coo Nest", the impossible never becomes possible until somebody starts trying.
How come there is no one bringing this up today? Shall we have a poll to decide if we need to get rid of this topic? Never.
I can hardly believe it. I got a call back from one of the NASD representatives today. He told me that the PDT rule was not being changed, however, they would post it on their web site when ever it is changed. Now isn't that profound.
Yawn.... Right on, let's have an opinion poll! weekend is golden time for elite nonprofessionals in this forum.
Their new website is http://www.ameritradecanada.com , but there's not much details, except contact information. I suppose they'll keep the same rates as IB Canada did.
The PDT rules need to go away. They are illogical (especially their application on stock options). They represent special interests. They are not fair.
