How common is hair or fur in ready meals? Just had a Cook Unity Lasagna and it had 2 hairs in it. They might be whiskers (looked thicker then hair).
This is disgusting. I saw it as soon as i peeled off the clear plastic after cooking, so i know it wasn't contaminated from something else.
Threw the whole meal out.
UPDATE: they refused the refund. I guess they need the $20 more then me.
I received my new BoA custom cashback card. Activated it, shows up with my other cards. Tried to use it at two difference places online, and it declined both of them. I see the attempt on their website, but it doesn't show a reason for the decline.
I dont' see a notification that there is something wrong.
Is this on par for new BoA cards? (i had the other cards for some time and never had a problem).
It's 7:00pm on a Saturday, so i'll guess i'll have to call them on monday (not something to look forward to)
I only recently opened a ibkr account. I deposited $5000, waited until it cleared the entire amount for trading and then purchased shares in the amount around ~$4460. This left me with with just a little above $500.
The stock has gone up in value about 20% since then, and during the most recent surge, i been getting none-stop liquidation warnings.
How can i be in danger of liquidation when i didn't even purchase stock in excess of my principal balance?
Is it because the value of the account has gone up, due to the surge in stock price, and now the $500 or so i hold in cash are no longer 10% of the account? If so does that mean every time the stock goes up i have to continue to add cash to the account or sell shares just to maintain 10%+ in cash? On account that doesn't use a penny from the margin credit line?
I'm glad i started with a pilot account before committing, because so far i'm not impressed with ibkr. I'm hoping that Robinhood or Schwab or someone will make foreign stocks easier to purchase, because this isn't it.
UPDATE: after reading up on it. For the type of stocks i want to hold (foreign and theme consolidated (A.I., datacenter, chips, ...) i'm just going to switch to a cash account. They will be from different exchanges, but still in the same theme so i don't think it will help me all that much with margin requirements, and those keep changing as the market changes.
This was never meant to be a active trading account. I'm fine with waiting a couple days in between settlements. I just don't want to have to constantly worry about margin liquidation or only being about us 70% of my account for trading.
If this account grows, and i use it for more active trading, i can always switch back to a margin account. Really only need it for the foreign stocks. I have another account with another broker for my more active trading.
