To get the up/downgrades in Yahoo! you have to pay the real time (13$/month). Good news does not mean the stock is going up at the open. If you look at AEO, that good news opened higher but shut down right after. So you did not want to be long. As for the relationship with LTD, It's your...

Closed one trade: Covered FITB @ 8.12 Sold FNF @ 15.15 +0.8% after fees I expect FITB to be strong because they dont raise to repay tarp and their peer do so I got out. Do you guys calculate the P/L % on the amount of one stock or both? I used to do one but I think it's more appropriate...
