I read the minimum requirements for opening an account at IB. You can get away w/ the $10k minimum requirement if you’re 21 YO or under. It takes $3k to open an IB account younger people.

Shorted CTCM at $8.69, covered at $8.09 for about a $240 profit. Wish I could jump in HSNI with you but I’m out of day trades for the day and I can’t risk getting in the middle of the day

Given the area that we’re in 3k is not so bad after all. Just moved into my new place literally two weeks ago and picked up all new furnishings (and a 46″ Samsung 650 series as an ancillary bonus). After all was said and done I had dropped $7500, but I’m still on my Ikea kick so I did get most of it on the cheap. Enjoy the new couch, it is nice – brown leather is what I would have gone for too.

gotcha, couch is nice, 3k is actually “a deal” for a leather queen sleeper sofa…apparently:

Tim I know, point taken with respect to their customer service but I rarely find myself calling them for any reason because the rest of their system is so efficient. You’re quip about the 10k minimum requirement is a valid one and I agree with you on that, but anyone considering IB should note that it’s only to open the account initially, afterward you can stick with 2k or so for a margin account (if you absolutely have to). Seeing as I’m not going to condone borrowing money for the sake of meeting the initial capital requirement to fund the account, I will say that at least when that 10k mark is reached that people should give them a try. Trading with someone else is a disservice to yourself otherwise.

How’s the new couch? Did you get the obnoxiously overpriced 3k one you mentioned on Friday during livestock?
