Just borrow another 500K from your credit cards

you posted on 04-10-07 11:43 AM in another forum "In 2006, I have turned 100K to 266K, I was using about 200K 0% balance transfer from credit cards. In 2007's first 3 and half month, I have turned 266K to 360K, using about 300K 7% margin. Do you think this is a good trading record and...

congrats on your profits. However, a week ago you posted about getting a maintenance call because 70% of your holdings were in one stock. You say you have borrowed 200k and also borrow 300k on margin. This is a recipe for disaster as even the best have gotten caught by unforseen circumstances...

Greenhunt-I'd be interested in your trading ideas and maybe the reasoning behind your picks. Also,I don't know if you've done any reading on this forum but it seems that a lot of negative posters like to express negative comments rather than try to learn something. It's your journal, so...

If I read your latest posts correctly, it seems that you are a buyer of the option spreads. You will not be assigned anything until you as the owner of the options decide to exercise. Now, if you're short selling the options, then you are at risk for an early assignment

Out of curiosity- in scottrade have you gone to the Quotes and Research section: Charts:interactive charts. There's a few technical studies there you can use?

Todd- If you have 60k worth of securities just fax in your margin agreement and tell them to move your securities into the margin account. if your securities are fully marginable they will more than cover a temporary 20k debit. On settlement day you'll have a credit in your margin account...

If you're moving, you might as well go directly to cable. Moving will probably mean cancelling your current plan and setting up a new one . Check with earthlink on this. Cable is much better than dsl and earthlink will probably offer their service through your new cable company. If not...
