I have been using Prophet's real time java charts for a year and a half now and I have been having some trouble with the java charts during the first half hour to hour of the trading day. The thing just quits working on me and I half to restart the browser up, kind of a pain when you are...

I've been a Bulls fan since the days of Reggie Theus and Quentin Dailey, but man, these last two years have been tough, at this point I would rather go and watch Depaul play than the Bulls.

I doubt that this flu season will affect the number of jobs in the economy because most of the people that die from the flu are children or the elderly. However, if this flu season turns out to be like the pandemic Spanish Flu of 1918 (which killed millions of healthy adults) then we are all...

I have always been really good at killing my losers quickly, but it's my winners that I tend to screw up. My worst fear is a decent sized winner (meaning greater than 0.50-I only daytrade stocks) turning into a break-even or worse, a losing position. I have found the pain of watching a winning...

Inflation has affected me personally in many different areas of my life: My health insurance premiums keep rising by 15% per year. My townhouse association has also raised their association fee by 15% per year for the last few years. Lets see what else, oh yah, the cable company has raised...

I think if you include news stocks that you have to make sure your news winners are bigger than your non-news winners are because news stocks that are losers tend to be bigger than no-news losers (it least for me that is the case). Also, you never no how news will affect the stock. I got...

When you say $7.45 gross cents do you mean that if you add up all your winners and losers for the entire month that this is what your gross profit is?

Thanks a lot, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Does anybody know any sites that have the top 300 Volume stocks listed? Also, is this the top 300 stocks for both NYSE and NAZ?

What time do the US Markets open in Thailand???

They raised their prices too- I currently have a $9.95 subscription just so I can use their live in play feature. Well now to use Live in play on their new site it costs $24.95 per month!! What a crock. I have never used Yahoo, is their news on a delay?

This probably doesn't belong in this thread, but I just noticed that the S&P Midcap made an ALL TIME HIGH today. The reason I bring this up here is that perhaps the entire stock market bubble didn't burst yet and that a bubble still does exist in some areas. While I think most people would...

I thought I read somewhere that stock market bubbles only form once every few generations due to people learning from their mistakes. Now we just had a huge bubble pop, aka the Naz, so how can another bubble form just a few years later? Maybe that's why you say the DOW will go to 15,000...

There was no way I was going to call if LMT was above the opening price-I just got lucky in that when I finally looked at my spreadsheet I noticed that there was a sell next to LMT, but I did not get the fill. Anyway, when I looked to see where LMT was trading, it was 48 cents below its opening...

Has anyone every had the following situation occur in their opening only orders trading. I sent an order to short 600 LMT on the opening at 46.01 and it opened at 46.60, but I did not get the fill. Well I didn't realize I was supposed to be filled until 10:30 (with LMT trading at 46.18 at the...
