I'm curious Drew, what would a home like that rent for in Sherman Oaks? Thanks.

This comes under the "For What it's Worth" category. I live in the wine producing region of Northern California. Yesterday I signed a lease to rent a brand new 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with every extra you could want (granite, hardwood, etc.) in a very desirable neighborhood. The seller/broker...

Thanks for letting me off the hook...this time.

I pulled up the time stamp of the fill...09:30:57. My order was generated only seconds earlier. The order was filled as fast as anyone could hope for. It looks like it took 7 minutes for the fill to make it back to the order status block on my trading screen...never happened like that before...

No Sir. A nice round 1000 shares. The selling pressure volume easily would have supported the transaction. Other trades hit instantly. My Broker? OptionsXpress...

Okay, maybe not forever. Seven minutes did feel like a long time though. Here's what happened. At this mornings open, AMAT gapped down 22 cents below Friday's closing price. I fired off a limit buy order at 18.79. The order was sent directly to the exchange. The order didn't fill until...

I think it's just you. Of course he knew what the guy meant. That very important piece of information was directed at the many who actually do "play" at stocks and options. These players will not be around for long. You MUST look at this as a business first and always. You must consider the...

Fulltime for over 4 years. Located in N California. I trade stocks and options...covered calls mostly. Broker: OptionsXpress (they've been great).

Captain Oblivious, I think we all understand that the planet won't be dead anytime soon. The planet has survived much worse than people. Tell me, how is it that you can make a "left wing case" for an international concern. Oblivious "would be a more suitable title" for you.

2ez, Cramer put it this way: AVNX is your one stop shopping fiber optic source. They can put together the entire infrastructure required for a complete fiber optic network. Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either. Between the BooYahs and the sound of a truck backing up, I was able to...

Funny you should mention Call Writer. That was one of the choices I had in mind. I will look into your recommendation. Thanks for your reply. Good Trades...

The simple covered call is one of my favorite trading strategies. Working with only one or two range bound securities has worked out very well for me in the past. I'm interested in finding other, perhaps better suited covered write candidates. Certain websites offer screening tools and...

Sunspots!? Political Stampede? Sir, I'm afraid that you have lost the use of your last working brain cell.

To this I must point out that some scientists deny that the Earth is round. They are publicly willing to defend their positions with "evidence". Go ahead and google the "Flat Earth Society" to see for yourself. My point is, you can find some person with "credentials" to defend anything...

Do not worry. A 5 degree increase in temperature change in 100 years will more than offset any overpopulation concerns there may be at the present time. The attitudes expressed here amaze me. Mr Beltway thinks the entire scientific community is a bunch of imbeciles. He must be an...

Jim Cramer probably created plenty of bag holders when he pushed AVNX at 2.75 in his opening spiel awhile back. Maybe the right time has come for this "one stop shopping fiber optic play".

I think you mean "loser" and not looser than loose. Don't you just hate it when a potshot ricochets like that! To answer the original question: No in general, but I have seen boards (ET for example) with a better clientele than most. It doesn't take long to figure out who knows what they...

You make a strong arguement for why religion remains "the original line of bullshit".

Sitting on my duff for long periods wasn't working for me. I decided to get a recumbant bike to exercise on during the trading day. My trading station is set up so that I can ride when I like while still keeping an eye on the action. It actually helps to keep me focused...for what it's worth...
