    What's the record high a stock rose in a single day?

    I remember that too, it was in 1998 I think. Actually I think it went from 2 to 11 one day, then 11 to high 70's the next morning.

    What's the record high a stock rose in a single day?

    As far as non-penny stocks, I remember the day in 1998 when EBAY opened about $90 higher after good earnings. My father sold his 500 share position the day before because he didn't want to hold into earnings lol.

    Nasdaq Busts and my $11,000 story

    Others have stated this, but this bust doesn't even make sense. You will make money on the trade so it's not worth arguing, but it would be interesting to hear Nasdaq's explaination of why this is occuring. Your broker should be able to demand that info. Just for the thread, I had many...

    Getting Bogged Down with Options on Series Seven

    I had trouble with options too, so I went back to those problems at the end. Using the grid type diagram helped me a lot to overcome that. I forget how it works now, but it should be in your study material.

    S&P Rebalance Friday???

    On the topic of rebalancing, there's a fun book called Ugly Americans by the guy who wrote Bringing Down the House. It's about some guys who pull off a huge trade on the Nikkei rebalance in the 90's...

    I think they do considerably more than 10M shares/day.

    Genesis Sec. must get their act together

    I agree that it's not asking a lot, but Genesis in my opinion is execution software only. I wouldn't recommend using it for futures, stats, etc. Probably 90%+ of their clients have some other software like Esig or Qcharts to handle all that. As for the pre-market execution routes I agree that...

    Frequency of discussing wins/losses with spouse/partner

    I tell my wife how I'm doing every day. It's been this way for years now. Over time she became as numb to the numbers as me. On a good day I get "good job", and on a bad day I get "sorry, tomorrow will be better". The only exception is when I have a rare really bad day and I mention it to...

    Day-trading retirees? They're blowing bubbles

    If I read this article in 1998 I may still be an office drone, taking miserable public transportation to work, and smiling while saying good morning to an asshole boss. I'm mad as hell and i'm not going to read this article anymore! j/k, it's probably good advice.

    Is Jim Cramer a Hypocrite, shyster, just plain stupid, or is he a genius

    He's smart enough to know that CNBC pays him more than he can make trading. Far from genius though. GOOG was a fluke.

    Yeah I wanna be a trader to ;)

    With your lack of experience I would agree that Bright would be a good choice. The training is probably the best you can get for a new trader imo.

    new research...

    The debate about holding overnights doesn't apply to SPY imo. The risk is in stocks that could open sharply against you due to stock specific news. Kind of interesting study anyway.

    Tough Month?

    This month was not bad for me, but this week sucked. After about 300k shares I'm +$350 woohoo. Bring on June!

    Avidus- Genesis

    Laser does have 3 routes: Merrill, OES, Belzberg (sp?). Each have an NX route. I don't see any difference in the 3, but Belz has had occasional outages which makes having multi routes very handy. This function is also built into my API program to detect which route is functional and...

    Avidus- Genesis

    There were a few guys a while back that said they had issues with NY on Laser. I've been with Genesis since January, trading >90% listed (about 1.5M/mo) and I don't have any of the issues they spoke of. Maybe they were a competitor, or just traders with a bad connection. ttbodnar what type...
