I rechecked with my broker and they do pay 1 1/4% on funds in trading cash accounts. i.e. for 100K you would get $125 a month.

Spaf you may want to recheck your math. 1 1/4% of 100K is $1250, not $125. I think you've missed a decimal point in the percentage they pay out. No way they would pay that much. If they did, why even invest, just put it in an IRA and make 16% a year.......
I believe 1.6% is about right or I would have it noticed in my accounts already.

Thanks Mike!
What they say is they are giving credit interest for 30 days @ 1 1/4%. Annual Percent yield earned is 1.26.
I agree with you, somewhere in here there is a difference I don't understand. I know that they are not paying 16% annually. If 100K stayed in their cash tradingfund, a member would receive $125 a month. Not 16% or whatever, but whatever the % is, it's still better than "0".

Now it is clear. The rate is 1.25% per year compounded monthly yielding 1.26%. One hundred thou earns 125 per month which if reinvested or compounded gives you an additional 10. You're getting something but not much, like maybe half of what they can earn with your dough while they have it, like a bank does.

I don't think anyone would scoff or otherwise denigrate someone's opinion, unless they are provoked. If the day ends as you suggest, then you have demonstrated uncanny analysis, and have contributed to our collective wisdom. If you are less than accurate, you stand shoulder to shoulder with the many who struggle to anticipate the markets moves. If youboast ofyour market prowess, be careful, lest tomorrow deliver you a crushing blow, as the markets raise up the lowly and bring down the proud.

"demonstrated uncanny analysis" surely you jest. I would classify it as "demonstrating anal uncanniness." That along with my superior expertise in toilet bowl water level testing for new homes clearly gives me an insight that you are all are not privy to.

Oil prices .....ughhhhhhhhhh........$61+....boy gas is gonna cost alot.....goodby Christmas.....
I saw news that company layoffs are rising to levels in Jan 04.....looks relatively severe ....but could be nulled out with category or new hires......get rid of the costly old employees and hire cheap new ones......
