Investors would hop on board for what reason? Because it's 'lower priced'? Let's see, i don't like it at $350, but at $175 it's a bargain? Same company, double the shares.

CPI says it all. No inflation (so they say), no more interest rate hikes (so they hope), lower dollar (so it is).

You're right Jim. My apologies to Ram. Sometimes my sarcastic side gets the better of me. Just bad memories of client service from that side of the business.

Certainly. I can see that you have very 'high' requirements for your trading platform. "Why does IB TWS show absurd numbers in the night times? Do these numbers have any significance at all? For example, if a stock/option traded at 3.20 - 4.50 during the day, the night time valuation can...

"I used to trade futures in the night, but not actively doing it these days. But when I did trade in the night times, I don't remember to have seen any impact on my trading ability. " Alright then. If these 'incorrect' numbers had no impact on your trading, what is the issue then? Do they...

Alanm, for you it is a problem, no question there. For the original poster, he clearly stated it wasn't. He reminds me of clients who used to complain that the firm i used to work for used the closing 'bid' price to value securities in their account instead of the closing price. It didn't...

How does this actually pose a problem to the original poster who does not trade overnight? So what if your account shows you have a loss? Get over it. Now if it is actually causing a problem for you on a 'trading' basis, fine, I can understand the concern. But from the original post, it...

This offering will be oversubscribed. The average retail investor doesn't have a chance at getting a piece of this. Personally, I think it will be a very hot offering. Should get priced at $23. My only caveat, if you are a retail client and are able to get an allocation, then you can be...

As for any legal threats they might make to you, don't believe a word. It's all bullshit (unless it's a substantial amount) I was contacted by a collection agency regarding a debt that was paid over 6 years ago. Not a word from them in the interim and then out of the blue, they tell me I...

Thanks Xenia. Found it.

How do I change the parameters on IB's TWS so that I can place trades in the pre-market and after-hours market? I've seen this information before but can't find it know. Sorry for the redundancy of the thread. Thanks in advance.

How did you make out today on NEM? I was trading it today too and noticed these prints as well. I don't have an explanation for you as i assume someone is hitting an ecn or it is simply a bad print. It doesn't just happen to NEM, i've seen this for lots of NYSE listed issues. I don't...

Ripley, didn't you start a thread detailing your struggles to become profitable? I take it that you are joking in this thread??? Or have you thrown in the towel and decided to go for the 'sure' money?

I don't see it your way. The CFO is on the side of shareholders meaning that he should be doing his best job to CREATE shareholder value, not LIE about creating shareholder value. It is his duty to fairly and accurately portray the business and how well the company is performing. My opinion...

We cry when they lie to us and we cry when they don't. I don't see anything wrong in his comments.

If you look back through previous Fed tightenings, the markets will typically rally as it indicates a strong economy and good profit growth. The question is how long does the rally last?

"Well duh. You can't make the kind of money SAC makes by trading "when the 20 DMA crosses the 50 DMA on increasing volume near support, blah, blah..." or "strong earnings growth and sector-leading value, etc....", you need info flow. And SAC gets it, or else!" I almost split a gut when I read...

Thanks for the replies and information.

A little off topic but does anyone know about the Web platform offered by IB? I use the TWS but when I'm away from home, I would like to use the web platform but cannot access this (it won't start up). I can't find anything on the IB website which explains this. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like someone is putting the cart before the horse. Once you make money trading, you'll then have a tax problem.
