Good advice, billy. bummer iHub

Hey that'sa goofy on iHub's part. Oh well, it can all wait.
Pretty obvious what's going on.
Thinking same way about only grabbing the mudfish.

Ain't that PDT crap a bitch. I had $30k in Freetrade pre
Crash. Now just dip in here & there on margin but not to where actually past cash value. Meaning not into the 2:1 ratio or whatever they extend ya.
I've read of people claiming FT doesn't ding them about PDT restriction if hit it >3 rounds in 5 rolling biz days.
But ya know they'd hit rest of us...esp if $ in it for them.
Just read in NY Post about a Calif guy won $1+Mil of his own
account money back from a NY broker. Some small one. Got puntative damages too. Programmer guy I think, hehe.
Goes to show condition of this mess.
Happens in Up and Down mkts. Rem Datek using customer accounts to keep in-house trades alive in 90s. Big fines but hell they were the original Cowboy day traders. I went thru them all.
WEBS Web Street Securities, etc. All sucky.
But FT is wonderful most of time.
Uhg just got a false QQQ down spike of 34!
later then.


Pennies not a zero sum game as much as some zero game.
