    Some commision realities about IB and Tradestation

    I remember when I used to have an account with Cybertrader that you could change your order and still pay only 1 commission as long as you did it within 5 minutes of the 1st fill.

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    Playing stocks mentioned on CNBC was one of my most profitable strategies in 2000. I must have made $50K just from CNBC pump & dumps. They were usually some low float internet or biotech dog of a company. I'd play with small size(usually 500 shares or less) to make sure I could get out easily. I...

    EX Dividend

    PEG's dividend is $2.16 but that's for the year.Each quarter is 1/4 of that or $0.54. However stocks usually show weakness the day after ex-div because traders buy it the day before to capture the dividend and sell at the open the day after. That's the theory atleast; it's not usually that...

    Poll: Fed Cut

    Looks like CSCO will decide whether this rally is sustainable. The market looks weak already considering how much good news in the last 24 hours(Rep. house,Pitt resigns,1/2 pt. cut). BTW, You can stop voting now!:p

    Poll: Fed Cut

    So far out of 71 votes: No cut- 24% .25- 63% .50- 13% 73% see some sort of sell-off regardless of outcome!

    Poll: Fed Cut

    I say .25; sell-off then consolidate. Then start to finally give back some of this bear rally over the next few days. Of course I could be wrong?:confused:
