Quicken Quotes Live works really well for me. I also started using tc2000 a month or two back and I love it. For news I will give you just one www.zacks.com which will create a watch list and email you any earnings estimates and broker rating changes each night on each stock in the watch list...

Uptick, This is a guess on my part, and if this is not the case you can ignore me. If you recently downloaded the new IE, I think it is 7.0 and are running Symantec Products, that may be your problem. When I downloaded the new IE some pages did not load, etc. etc. Once I restored the old...

My opinion is the reason for the lower price is that they are not as efficient when compared to the peer group. But that is just an educated guess. For instance if ROA was 10% vs 6% for the industry you could make a good case for higher value. For the kind of money you have tied up, and...

The best way to get this puppy movin is get yourself 100 Yahoo IDs and start pumpin it on every board you can find. Aside from that research is hard to find, YAHOO has some stuff for sale if you are so inclined. Profit Margin is (-2.4%) vs 4.6% for the industry. ROA is -3% vs 6.4% for the...

Prea2, By all means pick up Security Analysis for an in depth read. I read the 1934 version and would recommend as many of the distinctions of companies that could be broken up for cash are made similar to your example. For a more workable read Graham's "intelligent Investor" has similar...

Babak, can you tell me where I can find the article? Or if you want to paraphrase I would be interested to see what they say. Based on my observation we are in a stealth bull market. I have to keep purging my New Highs List and my New lows list is as bare as old mother hubbard's cupboard...

VIX aside, does anyone track %of stocks over 200 Day MA? This seems to be getting very overbought in the near term. Also there have been some interesting developments with the A/D line which looks like its trying to break out of a downtrend that started back in 98. Back to work:cool:

Going long diapers was a joke referring to the times when people are scared to death and just tossing stocks out the window at any price. These are the times when the VIX will spike up as people pay higher premiums for protective puts. :cool:

As I opened my mail today there was a letter inviting me and a friend to a Wizetrade Seminar that is coming to my area. Seems that his tagline is misleading though as he calls this "Program Trading", the same as the "Big Boys". Since I view program trading as simultaneously buying and selling...

For what it is worth, there have been some nice moves in many of the holders over the past year. OIH, PPH and UTH have been some of my favorites. The spreads are wide, so you definitely need a longer term holding period. And forget about the options unless you are a seller, as they barely...

Just last week I picked up 100 shares of RSTN at 8, one or two days later they warned and opened 50% down the next morning. Now this was to be a "longer-term" trade, with my assumption being that the Sept 21 low had held. OOPs. Most months I sell puts to generate income. In September my...

:mad: Initially I found this site while searching for direct access brokers. What keeps me coming back is the flow of good ideas from the people who post. Many of the questions I have seen Def answer are very technical or esoteric and he addresses them very professionally. As a business...

If I could post a longer term chart of the Vix I would, but my computer skills are not that great. If you look at the early 90s and the late 80s, with the exception of Black Friday we are still high to normal on a historical basis. I do agree that any time people are going long diapers and...

Nitro, I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but it is a place to start. Barrons has a Weekly Bond Statistics column in it's market week section. Their website may have some symbols for graphing (:confused: ), if not the hard copy might suit your needs in spreadsheet format...

I do see where AG was posted on both days, I was just wondering if the upgrade had something to do with the short strategy. Your explanation makes sense, thanks. MHU was an interesting chart, right through the 50/200 instantly. Is the type of play you are looking at similar to DYII? Where...

Robert, I was curious on why you had AG on your Short List for the day? I am guessing that the expectation is the MM will mark up the stock for the upgrade. The reason that it caught my eye was that I had sold my AG yesterday before lunch. You can imagine how happy I was to see it...

I quit my job on Aug, 7 2000, back in the days where having a job actually cost you money. I would recommend that you read "Nothing Down", "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Wall Street Money Machine", and then go strait to the infomercial circuit. And you will soon ponder the question of why a 22oz...

SiliconInvestor.com has some great end of day scanning with lots of criteria using technical indicators. I have also started using TC-2000 within the past few weeks and I really like it. Although the scans are a little more canned than SI. Or, if you want a stock that is down 4 days in a...

You are correct sir, and I do agree with you about the earnings. My thought is this, pre 90s about 1/2 of the return figure you see for markets reflects dividends paid. And 1 of the older technical models had you sell stocks with the yield dropped to 3%. Now, somewhere along the line...

I got curious and looked up the components of XLY, and although it is called Cyclical/Transport, it's biggest holdings are WMT and HD, so go figure. I just assumed that it tracked the transports. On to a more positive note, I looked at TC-2000 MG772-Regional Airlines, MG774 Air Delivery, and...
