depends Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 ...I don't think the online brokers are slowing down deliberately. Most live by commish, not trading. Today when Plunger said Ameritrade slowed down I noticed that my ECN also slowed down - but instead of timing out a web page like I had done to me by the big jerkturd my order took in about 10 or 15 seconds. This happened three or four times when I was racheting down stops only during about 1 hour mid day. Dont recall if these were naz or nyse trades. could they slow the ... maybe I shouldnt be dis-cussing this ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Doc: As you experienced today, and on numerous days, your site can inexplicably be slowed down by forces outside of your control and despite your best efforts to keep things working efficiently. If the Matrix finds it useful to prevent access to the ideas expressed here - or finds it useful to remove the selling pressure represented by the world's largest online brokerages by slowing their sites to a crawl as yours was today...the result is the same whether or not we believe that it occurs with or without the permission of those running Ameritrade. Mark my words, it will happen. There are numerous new versions of "circuit breakers," and we have seen most of them tested in recent months. I'm finding it difficult to post this message right now...but it's not because you don't want to read it. Something is going on with this site that is beyond your control.

DrStool Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 If they wanted to shut this site down with a dos attack, they knoe how. I don't think they need to test anything. I'm pretty sure it's a server issue. The processor may be underpowered when the board is busy and other processes are running. I have ordered a new, more powerful server.

Tchaikofsky Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Stoolville: I'd like to solicit some advice. Madame Tchaikofsky has become "manager" of her Dad's affairs recently and he moved into an assisted living arrangement. His house is to be sold next week and there will be a good amount of money left over after settlement (low six figures). What suggestions might anyone have regarding how/where to park this money? After listening to me regarding the markets for the last two years, she's morbidly afraid to put it in equities, indexes, or mutual funds. There's no immediate need for the money, so perhaps ladder it into something "safe"? Problem is, I don't know what "safe" is anymore. A passbook savings account pays 1%, so the account bleeds over time due to inflation. I believe CDs pay more, but I don't have a lot of experience with them. T-Bills? TIPS? Looks like Sammy is currently paying out 1.35-1.69% on short T-Bills and not much better on TIPS. To quote King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Any help you could give us would be very . . . helpful." Many tanks, Tchaikofsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The End Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Tchai, You can find TIPS that pay 1.5% over the stated inflation rate.(they move with the monthly numbers plus the nominal yield.) I would go there. Know that they can go down in value should we encounter deflation. They are liquid however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
