: @jasongoldberg (Off Topic) Besides my previous comments about the News Flash feature, I just noticed what's really wrong with it. This is a story worthy of a News flash. I need seat warmers for my office chair is not. There are people turning their tweets into a News Flash. This is the same thing that happened on Fox News. They have a breaking news feature(I can't recall what it's called), but originally it was only reserved for the most important news. When Fox corporate got there hands on it everything Michael Jackson did became Breaking News. It cheapens the news and makes the feature a flash, but not a News flash. Hope this makes sense.IMO, I think it is a good feature, being improperly used.

: Yes, people are saying the eTrade examples are due to SEC rules, etc. but I think if it's my money, and there's no barrier to moving it around, I should have it. And what's up with Compete.com? It's January 8, so where is the December data?
