    Daily Stock Price Downloads: Stockwatch.com

    Just as a follow up, I wouldn't be going through this hassle but I cannot find any stock screener that covers Cdn stocks that will do what I want. If anyone should know of a good Cdn screener, all opinions are welcome. Thanks.

    Daily Stock Price Downloads: Stockwatch.com

    Just wondering if there is anyone out there who can give me some pointers and some help. Here's what I'm trying to do: 1. Download the end of day stock quotes (OHLC & Vol) into an Excel spreadsheet. I'm only interested in Cdn stocks at this time. 2. I would like to have a separate...

    The Face of Things to Come

    "The key here is Bernanke. The rates need to be aggressively cut right now, .50 or more. If they are not cut, then the ten year yield will continue its nasty rise. " A thoughtful analysis but I think you are off the mark with this. The last thing Bernanke should do is accommodate...

    If you could live anywhere

    As an objective observer it would seem that you have been caught in a lie. Unfortunately, you have lost all credibility by lying. Very weird that a person would feel the need to lie on an anonymous discussion board. Here's your previous post: "Where have I EVER tried to persuade anyone...

    If you could live anywhere

    For sure, but are there any redeeming qualities to the country?? I'm familiar with the history and the politics, the violence and the poverty. But is there anyone out there who can add a first hand experience? I guess I'm looking at this from a contrarian standpoint. Given a country that...

    If you could live anywhere

    Has anyone ever been to Haiti? Is there any part of the country that would be livable? It would seem logical that it should be quite beautiful given that it's just on the other side of the Dominican Republic. I can't imagine taxes or the cost of living would be very high either. But on the...

    new era of efficient markets pushing stocks upward

    "The matrix of liquidity created by this new era of efficient market trading is pushing stocks higher and higher. The risk premium has rightfully decreased." "The matrix of ..........." I can't help but love the language. Why the "big" talk? Say what you mean. Markets are now...

    IB - Time for drug testing yet??

    Just a slip up on their part. You probably missed it, but it does state on their website that they will send out a Brinks truck to pick up "BIG MONEY DEPOSITS" like yours. They can't trust an electronic transfer for such a "BIG MONEY DEPOSIT". In fact, Peterfy himself will be riding shotgun...

    I just got an assignment...HELP

    Exactly. It's irrelevant if you are buying or selling options. It's evident you didn't understand your risk when you entered into the trade. If you are EXPERIENCED in trading options, you should know what your break even point is. As for earning a profit on this position, you have gained...

    Where to trade Canadian options?

    Hi Rayden. Before you start to trade Cdn options, you should be aware that Cdn options lack the liquidity which U.S. options have. Most of the time you will be buying from or selling to a market maker and the spreads are typically quite wide ($0.25). All option trading in Canada is conducted...

    Pinetree Capital (PNP) - TSX

    Anyone else get screwed on this one today? The stock took a nosedive in the morning down to 17.55. I bought some at 19.30 (doh!). The stock subsequently bounced back up and I sold out at 21.50. Nice little profit. About an hour goes by and I see my buy orders on the stock being erased...
