It is truly amazing that someone like "Paul Tudor Jones" would be on a message board, attempting to degrade smaller traders. Isn't humility one of the prized personal attributes of successful LONG TERM managers..not ones who blow up after a string of successes like a Brian Hunter? Please go back...

Try Bloomberg TV. If you want NEWS and unbiased INFO, that's the place to be. If you want to see Lenny Dykstra, the guy from 7th Heaven, and WWE Stars give you their favorite stock picks, then please stay tuned to CNBC.

If you actually listen to Bob "Bull Market" Pisani and digest his incredibly biased B.S. and his "traders here are telling me..." than you are a joker, plain and simple.

I don't like his reasoning/response at all. But I can't say that it surprises me. I can't say with 100% certainty that you are due since it is an oddlot order, but I would pursue it. I know for a fact that if it was an over 100 share order you have a bulletproof case. Take this example of mine...

Don't be embarassed in challenging your broker for a fill on this. You deserve one, and you're exactly right, the specialists/market makers tend to ignore odd lot and smaller orders in general. They are typically watching a number of stocks, and your small orders are just on the bottom of the...

Excellent advice, thanks, I appreciate that. Okay, so you take profits in something with a trailing stop and the stock then goes lower, but after a few days starts to rebound and you want to buy it again, perhaps for the same reasons you were long in the first place. There have been times where...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the lack of responses. That must be why there are thousands of books on how to buy stocks but none that I know of on how to sell lol :)

They simply don't understand, and don't WANT to understand the risks that come along with options. Then instead of just saying "well that's our policy I'm sorry" instead they have the branch managers make up reasons for why you can't do certain things. I am long 2 deep itm calls, and wanted to...

Looking for a market pundit to say it? You forgot about the market sage himself, Bob Pisani! Just listen to him any day, any time, during any market, and you'll see Mr. Bull Market himself in action. He is the alpha and omega when it comes to investing.

I find I'm pretty good at limiting losses when something doesn't go my way, but that's about it. Does anyone have any selling rules they'd like to share or are there any good books out there? Obviously I'm not trying to sell the tops in anything, but I find myself not having a battle plan for...

Agree about Scottrade, their service has done a cliffdive recently. Their options trading/capabilities are just plain awful. I recently opened an Options Xpress account to move my options trading there, and the difference is like night and day. First off, Scottrade simply doesn't allow you to...

Anyone familiar with this election and the IRS deadline of April 17th? What are the benefits/reasons one would choose this election. What if I don't begin trading until say October of 2007, can I retroactively file for this election since the business didn't exist on the filing deadline...

If I'm trading my own capital at a firm, lets say for example's sake, like Bright, VTrader, Echo, etc, do people usually set up LLC's under some trading company's name to track their results and/or for tax purposes? Is this even necessary since you are under the umbrella of a larger firm, or is...

Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Any thoughts/experiences/methods? Thanks

General question...I imagine those who trade for themselves set weekly, if not daily P/L expectancies, which are likely a function of your living expenses. Say you initially set your goals low, like, "I need to gross $1500 per week." Okay, you make $4000 in the first two days of any given week...

Can anyone recommend any books, articles etc. about closing strategies for equity trading? It's something I have no systematic way of approaching, and it costs me money constantly. I'm not expecting to sell the tops or avoid selling the lows or anything like that, but I need something more than...

In reference to my small time brokerage account on Scottrade... I've about had it with terrible executions with stop limit orders I have placed with Scottrade. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the rules here and someone can clarify. I have a stop limit order in to sell NTRI at 54.97...The...
