yeah etrade cant compete with td, i dont think any broker can compete with td, ive been with them for 5 months and im still finding new features, not to mention my free checking and debit card which i signed up for today. i think alot of these brokers are seeing a mass exodus to TD
With the boring news coming out today from the interview coupled with the auto industry floating around like a dead fish yes, this is definately not a day trading or even an active traders stock. I'm just waiting for it to to rise some so I can break even and get outta this stagnation with SIRI. As Malone has stated there may be something down the road for Sirius with Liberty's ventures...just not for quite a while. Ugh. I'll bail as soon as I'm able - unless of course somebody can prove me otherwise.
Been flat ever since it went to 62 cents. I hope something happens tomorrow.

Hey, I've been lurking a while, thought I'd say hello.Quote:

I'm done with Sharebuilder (well that is at least I will be a month from now or however long this purgatorial process lasts)
Now here's to some eventual and sirius upward movement!
I just went through this, too.Quote:

I looked at my TDA account the very next day after receiving that notice, and poof, all my funds were in there.
Hang in there.
The area that they came into the United States (Brownsville TX) is 30 miles from where I used to live, and actually where I am currently going to school by internet.Quote:

I may make a couple of phone calls to my friends who work there (in the emergency room) to confirm.
The society down there is extremely poor and most wait way too long before seeking medical help. The report also did not mention if the child was legally in the US either. If they were illegal, they REALLY wait until last minute to seek help, because they are affraid of deportation, which is unfortunate because the hospital is restricted BY LAW from calling any type of immigration authorities.
This swine flu had gotten totally out of control. I am not talking about the flu itself, I am talking about the medias coverage of it. If we thought that the recession talk was killing our economy, this is even worse.
Like Relmor said: The REGULAR flu kills thousands every single year in the United States. This has killed ONE. The lengths that the states and governments are forcing hospitals to go to is insane. I worked yesterday... lets just say I am glad I have the next couple of days off.
When someone comes to the hospital and says "I think I have Swine Flu" but does not even know what it is? That is media-induced hysteria. I want the media to create a disease called "ImAMoronItis". That way when people come in saying "I have ImAMoronItis" we can say yes you do.
As we say in the medical field "Stupidity is seldom fatal, but it is chronic."
Absolutely correct. The poor baby didn't have a chance. The media should be reporting on the number of deaths in Mexico each year from regular flu. I'm sure it's a huge number. The U.S. number is over 30,000 per year. That would give this context. With headlines showing 150 Mexican deaths, and now 1 baby "in the U.S.", it starts a semi-panic. Stupid. Especially since the baby was from Mexico, and apparently taken to the U.S. after gravely ill. So, the baby developed swine flu in Mexico, deteriorated in Mexico due to lack of care, but technically is now a U.S. death. Ridiculous.Quote:
