Second the FreeStockCharts.com suggestion. Been using them since Prophet shut down. Very nice product.

Got an email notice that they are shutting down mid March now. Went to Investools, to Investor Relations, which leads to Ameritrade http://www.amtd.com/investors/contactus.cfm) who now own them. Gave them some feedback re shutting down prophet.net. Told them that it served as excellent...

SPY, QQQQ, and any other dividend-paying stock will have a chart adjustment done after every dividend payout. What you see on Prophet and StockCharts and others is the wrong way to go about that. The way the adjustment is done literally re-writes past prices. You can see this especially on...

For those of you who want to know how the 5500 target was derived, seems a poster on his blog had that same question: From Slope of Hope: (Poster): Well, from a gutteral emotion I would say "YOUR THE MAN!" But you could please break it down it into baby steps as to why you feel we are...

No, you would not. The account would be linked to your brother's bank account. He has to provide a copy of picture ID, and a cheque made out for a small sum ($5, I think) to verify the link to his bank account. All withdrawals are deposited into his account, or in the case of cheques, to his...

Have your brother open the account in his name, and then you and he can send in the form giving you trading authority for that account. Shouldn't matter where you live for that.

So far, prices on bulk sales of REO properties vary based on location and are selling from 60 cents to 80 cents on the dollar. Hanson started out offering 40 cents on the dollar for about $2.5 billion worth of California properties owned by IndyMac and Washington Mutual but was turned down. The...

The idiot you referenced is apparently not conversant with the history of Tibet. Did the Chinese invade Tibet in 1959? Are they currently engaged in 'family planning' there? http://www.unescap.org/esid/psis/population/database/chinadata/tibet.htm The Tibetans understandably...

No. This is what really happened in Tibet... http://hhdl.dharmakara.net/hhdl-tibet.html

Prophet only looks good from a distance. They have always had on and off data glitches, but since TOS took them over, they are having major data problems. According to Prophet Java, the QQQQ gap of Feb 4/5 is closed. It ain't. According to them, Qs closed at 43.87 today...

I use Cybertrader. Fills were ok because I use mostly marketable limit orders. Getting paperwork done is a spotty process with them. One of their reps asked me over and over again to submit paperwork that was already sitting in my file. And wait till you ask for options approval...my...

Fills are okay, but I wouldn't be doing any scalping. The platform is somewhat unstable. Inputting a new symbol causes the platform to shut down, sometimes repeatedly with repeated attempts. Found that the way around that is to 'prime' the pump, so to speak, by loading an existing position into...
