I've traded since the fall of last year.. I'm starting again after some very small losses/break evens. All of the companies I chose were at their lowest in February, when I got out of them. (c, pcs, etc) They then skyrocketed for the next two months. So because of this I've worked on my...

To your questions: I currently don't have a licesnse, but I think I'll save gas money by biking to school anyways. And I'm not saying that I'm really put out- but comparitively to most traders I'm at a marginal disadvantage. I make money by cutting grass and things like that for people...

Hi guys, quick background: I'm 16 I have an income of 200-300 a month I have about 1500 bucks saved up and have deposited 1k into an OptionsXpress acc. Gonna add another 1000 bucks in the summer months Keeping a log of my strategies and P/L so if I'm successful maybe it will help...

I am trading right now in a 1k Account. I'm going to be keeping a journal. Thanks for the great advice.

Haha I get it. CA = Certified Accountant? What's CFA? I have about a 3.9-4 weighted GPA but it's rising a lot. I've hit the books a lot harder this semester and it's paid off. But I feel it starting to slip again. I guess I just need to readjust. The thing is, I hate math such as Algebra 2. I...

I don't understand what you mean. Is your name a percussion exercise reference? flamadiddle?

Just the aspect of trading is great to me. Everything you do is directly correlated to your success. If I work a job there is no incentive to preform. Whether I help another company or not I get no more pay at the end of it all- unless by promotion I assume.. You're probably right though. I...

Well just from a quick look: None of their important Stats are shown There are no options to hedge such a high risk penny stock They are in a downward trend But I'm no pro. is there a reason why you like them?

Hey guys- another request of your opinions.. I know its a sad excuse for an equities account but I'm starting with 1k. I should have another 1k coming in soon with some steady income 200-350$/ month (I'm only 16), 100% of which I'll be adding to my account. Here are the ideas I have for...

Hey guys- I'm 16 and a sophomore in highschool. I got into trading last fall and I've fallen in love with it since. But now I'm realizing I want to pursue a career in finance/quantitives/economics and have started to toss everything else to the side. I'm sure this is what I want to do. I no...

Good Idea/Bad Idea? Anyone?

I concur

This company seems a bit undervalued in my opinion. I also expect oil prices and the related industry to boom until the 4th quarter. I'm a little late on buying in but i think I could squeeze out a 20% gain in theory out of this company.. This is my first real options trade- So any...

What is a reactive order to buy a stock once the market reaches a certain high when you're shorting a stock. I want a trigger order, not a basic GTC buy.

I trade in both directions, by simply stating a point you can't infer I only short trades. And in options there is limited risk in shorting. (The premium)

This is probably quite basic, but can you make the same basic return (as if you bought the underlying stock) by buying and selling options contracts in the future when the underlying stock increases the intrinsic value of the options? Say you bought a May Put or 10 for (C) for $3.00...

State school was a typo. I'm pretty sure I want to go to UNCW. What is engineering exactly, or the type associated with trading?

Thanks I really appreciate the advice. I just assumed business was best for trading, now I realize that it's quite a ridiculous assumption. Yeah now just to find a good in state school for all of this. (NC) with a good bachelor's of the major you mentioned with a good 3.8-4.0 gpa, can you...

maybe they're trading with a fraction of what they're making, like one guy said. Maybe they started with 5$; I'd call a 500+% increase a pretty good day

also to everyone that says I should have fun now and worry about the important stuff later, I give you this quote: "If you do for a little while what most people won't do, you can do for a lifetime what most people can't do."
