    web based

    I think they have a browser based AND a stand alone trading platform. I use the latter, but in the past, I have used the IE web-based version at a remote location, such as Kinko's

    Don's Openings and More for 2006

    I didn't know "automation" was a new approach. It sounds like, what was mostly manual is now being automated. To allow for more order entries and more fills, and more $.

    Dell Coupon

    Is this Dell 9300 a decent starter laptop? I thought I would boost the Ram to 1gb. At $863 it looks reasonable. thanks waterboy

    It may have been in connection with Don's new "Automation" program, putting in more orders, different levels, etc

    new meat - help on yen

    I use TradeSports.Com once in a while. I believe they have a Yen Contract. I think the commissions are good, but volume/spread is poor on some contracts.

    How Much to invest Analysis

    Good point. Greed comes to mind. Owning twice as many shares. I like the "buying incrementally as it rises," because if it falls, then I wouldn't add, and would have much less at risk. Although it could rise, and then fall later.

    How Much to invest Analysis

    It's based simply on potential, if the "device" works [for insulin]. At this point, all I can say is, it looks promising, or that it might work. gnbt is the stock. If it went to $1.50, I would start with "why" did it fall, then go from there. I would sell, and re-evaluate. thanks

    How Much to invest Analysis

    I like the "Buy 1,000 shares at a time, as it rises". That seems to make sense, and may take the emotion out of it. The stock trades close to 10 mill shares daily, so liquidity is no problem. thanks

    How Much to invest Analysis

    ok, there's a penny stock [$3] that I believe has the potential of rising 5x in the next 1-2 years. My net worth is, say 100k, and I'm willing to risk 10%, or 10k, in this investment. I feel my risk in this stock is 50%, if all goes bad. So, am I correct, to invest $20,000, or 6,666...

    short dividends

    i think i know the answer, but i'll ask it anyway, since i don't do you pay dividends on a short position? it would be nice, if you could take advantage of the "drop" in the stock price when the dividend is paid out thanks waterboy
