looking at quick short-term fundamentals.... google's revenue's are growing at a slightly faster pace than costs. and with no major liabilities, I'd say the only thing short of some crazy lawsuit against goog would be that the price freezes for a while (maybe a couple months) around...

sport, anything specific you want to look at? I have a bunch of excel files right now...nothing formatted to look nice yet:p I'll show you this (just a C+P), because I think it is a good indicator that SIRI has begun to tumble downhill....although the stock price has not shown any...

a quick summary of my research on SIRI: (This is all in reference to a long-term approach) Sirius has not even been close to being able to sustain itself on operating activities alone. The primary reason for the company being able to continue to operate is from the sale of common stock...

Hey Seth A: Not sure what type of answer you are looking for...I ran some adjusted common-size statements, trend statements, and a few financial ratios on both companies. Currently I am working altman's Z-score model to see the probability of bankruptcy in each company. If by background...

I have done an analysis of SIRI and XMSR (mostly SIRI so far) and although they have reached a large market and can arguably obtain many more customers, both of their F/S look dismal. Both cannot sustain themselves without the finance of shareholders. Especially, SIRI... Shareholders Equity...

where can i find these credit ratings for individual companies?

Is there any line (or generally accepted level) where a company can no longer borrow and go further in debt? Net Assets < 0 ? Thanks

curious to your reasoning. My prediction is since the baby-boomer group is about to enter retirement that there will be a larger marketplace for these types of vehicles. I agree to what I the reasoning of "you would be better off buying T-bills, bonds, or whatnot", but the vast majority of...

I agree that there are some unethical people selling annuities (along with unethical people in all types of business) I also agree that I would never purchase one...any trader here should be able to perform better than an average annuitiy. I just wanted knowledge of becoming licensed and...

Anyone at ET have experience selling annuities? I am curious about the pros/cons and difficulty of selling annuities. If a successful trader is able to accumulate $200K+ (and feels burned out), I would think that they could sustain/profit from selling annuities quite easily. any thoughts?

my mistake...pulled a wrong figure i'm still only learning/papertrading.:p

unless I am missing some calculation, a box spread on goog right now would give a very nice profit... buy 400C @ $3.70 buy 410C @ $14.40 write 410C @ $3.60 write 400P @ $6.60 Totals only $790 premium paid with a return of $1000... at the end of the week! feel free to flame me if I...

wow what a horrible analogy:p lol I guess I need to mention that I am finishing my degree in Finance, getting an internship with a trader, and plan on spending 6-8 months preparing myself before starting to trade so that steveo here doesnt immediately label me as some "wannabe cuz it sounds...

TradeRich, I am by far not a seasoned day trader nor do I plan on becoming one in the near future. However, I have studied probabilities and other statistical information rather heavily (that is what I enjoy most about investing) and I believe I am capable of helping you refine your...

I believe they (IB) do allow naked put writing... it says on their account requirements section: Short Naked Put - MARGIN ACCOUNTS - 100% * option market value + maximum (((20% * (underlying market value) - out of the money amount), 10% * strike price, $2.50 * multiplier * number of...

I see. I guess I should be more specific... In either case, margin or cash account, is the maintenance amount restricted from further trade, or do you just need to maintain the amount in your account?

I would like to open an account at IB. I read (on IB) that when you write a put, you are required to have the aggregate of the underlying price available in your account. ex: write ten puts at underlying of $70.00 ... must have $70,000 available in your account. My question: Is this...

Thanks for the advice...here would be my response(s): 1) I heard UPS has good benefits and pay over graveyard shifts:p 2) I plan to watch/papertrade the markets extensively for about 2-4 months before trading. 3) I have been developing trading strategies and risk-reducing scenarios...

gotchya. However, I know very little about the ER2...:confused: but I figure I'm doing pretty good for first looking/studying options one week ago...I spent all of yesterday tackling the B/S method:p -R.T.

I know of no such strategy, of course I'm sure one exists even if it is only in theory, but my logistical approach would be that it would be "easier" to attain a double digit gain or loss, than a single. Since the majority of individual trades can occur with a double-digit return (again +/-)...
