Actually looks like it's changed to 4:20 EST, and you'll know cause it will be the big print size (not 100 share lots) Look at BBRY and GOOG http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/bbry/after-hours?page=2 http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/goog/after-hours?page=2 Note that both the big size prints...

I talked to a rep at my local AMTD office to get the 7$ ticket and .65/contract price - I hounded the rep for months trying to get .15/contract, so I wouldn't have to move my accounts to OptionsHouse, but oh well... (OH 8$ +.15/contract is pretty decent.) I still use TOS though for...

It depends on the official "last price" of the day is and I think it's defined by MM's - I think the official price is set at 4:15 EST. If you're unsure you should wait until after 4:15 and call your broker to find out the last price. If you're long - you might be best off waiting and...

Portfolio Margin accounts are different animals than your regular margin accounts - could that be the difference ?

1. Pat yourself on the back 2. Wait until you can buy them back for .05 3. Move on to next trade (free up your margin)

Am hoping HLF will jump down again, so I can sell Feb puts. I covered the Jan puts - don't want Ackman to pull any "2 days before expiration nonsense" like Dec expiry. An OTM Bear Call Spread might be in order at 44+

I don't see any reason why Quicken can't handle this ? I have accounts at AMTD, Optionshouse, Fido & eOptions and I never had any problems importing everything.

Let's face it - they should have done a special dividend. There's been alot of speculation about AAPL sitting on that money and making nothing on it, but nobody really knows what they're doing with it as the money is run by their own "hedge fund". I think AAPL needs to announce they're...

I really wish SeekingAlpha would host a forum ... best site I've found for articles and good discussion on the articles. Seems like there are so many sites like ET but none (even ET) that have enough critical mass to make a really great site.

I'm looking for a way to setup a portfolio and have EPS dates automatically entered onto a calendar using a monthly format. Yahoo Finance lets you add single dates but they have to be entered manually. I know Yahoo has lists of all EPS on a given date, but I don't really want to look at...

I started similar thread awhile ago ... might help... might not ... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=245570

AMTD will go to 7$ per ticket, but at 5-10k contract/mo you're still getting whacked at 0.75 - I spent months trying to get them to go lower on the contract price and finally gave up, and moved IRA's to OH. OH's web based browser is ok ... at 8$ and .15/contract you'll save a ton of money...

I've looked high and low and can't find an options scanner that scans specifically for butterfly spreads by P&L and allows me to change strike intervals. I found optionistics and it's close but is lacking some functionality that I'd like to have in a scanner. Even if it's an online broker...

sgfee - Try using another browser ? or updating the one you're using ? the link works fine for me in Firefox... Chrome does some goofy stuff

The CBOE has a free one: http://www.cboe.com/framed/IVolframed.aspx?content=http%3a%2f%2fcboe.ivolatility.com%2fcalc%2findex.j%3fcontract%3d03A7BAF4-2D4C-4728-A505-328BD8CC4A7A&sectionName=SEC_TRADING_TOOLS&title=CBOE%20-%20IVolatility%20Services

If Romney wins I don't think there's anyway he can avoid firing Bernanke. How do you figure there won't still be a fiscal cliff ? There is something called the Senate ... no way the Dems will lose the Senate, and they'd certainly have no reason to negotiate with the House after what the House...

Here's an article with more details on leverage: http://seekingalpha.com/article/913251-comparing-mortgage-reits-the-winners-and-the-risks-part-1 I wouldn't touch any of them cause I think long term rates are going up. If you want yield you're better off in preferred stock - you still...

In theory mReits will go down at an accelerated rate compared to TLT since they're basically just TLT on leverage. I forget which is which, but NLY/AGNC are 5&10 times leveraged. Of course it might take awhile to happen ... Even high dividend plays are at risk moving forward if...

Market down and TLT down ... LT rates are going up - the Fed screwed the pooch with a premature QE3. mReits with massive leverage move up when TLT goes up and crushed when it goes down.
