Actually I didn't remember trying chat until I read your post. I'm not in dire need, but if you are ... call the direct Chicago number: 312-676-8801 When I tried it earlier - I got through and was #20 in the queue - I moved to 19 after a few minutes, but didn't feel like waiting...

The system has been down all morning. You can login, but you can't trade. The Mobile platform doesn't allow trades either. I've called at least 50 times, and I get is one ring then busy tones.

That's what I was saying above - people who have kids and want them to go to good schools move to best suburbs they can afford. The 7% decrease is people moving away from the worst neighborhoods to the suburbs - that's why they closed all those schools like last or so.

In the past ~10 years the (black) people who can afford to move out of the city have moved to the suburbs. (Nobody WANTS to live on the South Side of Chicago - all the steel mills are long gone, and there is not much industry left.) White people did this migration 50+ years ago. When I...

So anyone wish to disagree with me on what I said about TLT and mREITS ? Look at the TLT chart and the chart of AGNC. For the record I was bearish then and I'm bullish now on mREITS - I don't think the Fed will allow rates to rise up too high, and I think foreign buyers will have to step...

Well website was down for about 55 minutes. First time I've had any problems like that with OH. Wouldn't be so bad if they also weren't hitting me with imaginary margin issues.... OH keeps fixing it and next day same problem.

You can login using their mobile site: m.optionshouse.com ^^^no www needed I'm not all sure what their problem is but my margin balances have been screwed up since Tuesday and I keep getting margin calls despite all positions paid for in full.

You might run into problems if you change your PC clock different from local time ~ I had certificates that got messed up. I also found that TOS (Ameritrade) would run, but had crazy problems with charting. (I put the date ahead by a month on accident and didn't figure out the...

3x 24" (Dell 2407's) No room on the desk for bigger - surrounded by book cases. Love the setup ! Charts on left, watchlist on right and browser in the middle.

Well I'm looking for huge moves down in single stocks. I ran a screen at finviz of stocks with PS >10 - Market Cap >50m and stock >5$ and I got 140 results. I figure about 60 of them could go down 50-70% when the liquidity bubble bursts. (I took out oil trusts and some of the stocks...

Anyone have advice on what put strikes to purchase ? I buy puts on high flyers like AMZN, LNKD, & etc Is it better to buy a small amount of ITM or more ATM or even more OTM ? Duration shorter or longer ? Our better to buy put spreads ? or even put flys ? I've had mixed success...

It just shows how much liquidity is sloshing around trying to find a place to park. We had ZIRP for a few months under Greenspan and that got the 2007 bubble really going... we've been at ZIRP for 5 years now... that's not going to end well IMO

ZNGA still has a ton of cash and basically no debt. I expect the new CEO will trim the fat For all the ZNGA is dead talk ... most people don't realize ZNGA did more revenue than LNKD in the last year.... (says Yahoo). Sure that will change this quarter but it underlines how beaten down...

This part made me spit out the soda I was drinking - thanks for that!

I heard he's changing his name to "Busto" (Sorry couldn't help myself)

So SAC is ~15B and 10B is Cohens - if that other 5B gets taken out of the fund some of the stocks he owns a high percentage of might get beaten down http://www.cnbc.com/id/100900242?__source=yahoo|finance|headline|headline|story&par=yahoo&doc=100900242|SAC+Capital%27s+biggest+pos CLW 7.4%...

Just thought I'd add that TOS/Ameritrade now allows you to look at earnings with a calendar format, and you can choose the market or fixed groups like SPY or QQQ or you can create your own portfolio and just look at the earnings coming up on the stocks you want to watch. (TOS has free paper...

No way Icahn will buy the company - he just wants more for his shares from Dell.

Maverick74 - your inbox is full Hey can you PM me w info on your friend with the advisory company ? 1.25% in fees might be worth it for me - I love AMTD in general and TOS has best platform. I know IB is cheaper, but I hated their platform.
