I know no one here believes in timing the market, but your move on this is impeccable.

I am curious on how the brokerage house charges interest, when you sell puts without having the cash balance in the account to support it, meaning you will have to use your margin to honor the put, when it is time.

I understand your agony. As an individual with very limited knowledge of financials but with a slightly better understanding of politics, I am thinking I can use this thread to calibrate a contributor (it is for my own personal consumption). Basically, if I disagree with poster xxx, I might attribute less weightage to his (or her) opinion on other threads.

I remember Lisa Murkowski losing the primary but went on become a senator by contesting as a "write in" candidate. To me that is a successful challenge to the established practice of primaries, which may not be the best practice (mainly a "too left" or "too right" candidate winning the primary and quickly becoming unacceptable for a general electorate). http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-elections-murkowski-idUSTRE6AG51C20101118

As far as foreign policy goes, Rand Paul was saying something similar, before he got swallowed by the Tsunami.

It main purpose seems to be texting without paying $15 (or even $30) per month to your carrier. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/02/19/what-is-whats-app/5621175/

This reminds me the donkey from Shrek, that says 'I know that half of the bridge is safe', while crossing the bridge. Just a lame attempt at humor, ignore it ...

I have noticed the good faith violation occurs when you sell a stock and use the funds immediately to buy another and sell the second stock before the settlement date of your first sale. As long as you don't sell your second purchase before the settlement date of your first sale, you are fine.

If you are away from your desktop/laptop and are likely to trade from your mobile phone, I find their login process cumbersome. They give a credit card sized card with random codes assigned to numbers from 1 to 256 and at login time you are presented with 2 numbers and you are supposed to enter the 6 character code (by looking up your card), which bothered me a lot. It takes more than 45 seconds for me to login (I am old). There is an electronic alternative to the physical card, which may give you a better experience (I have not tried it).

Did not know they have lot of legislative battles on their hands (past and ongoing) http://www.businessinsider.com/north-carolina-may-ban-tesla-sales-2013-5
