    trading at work using undisclosed account

    no minimum holding period nor % loss rule. but, permission is required for any purchases and sales. just don't agree with the 'no shorting' rule, which is supposedly for safety reasons. :confused: hi jackR - bank, medium size, asset mgmt. :confused:

    trading at work using undisclosed account

    most likely won't hit one, since i only trade 4 stocks/etf and never at once - AIG, FRK, GLD, BAC. if somehow, AIG is added to the restricted list, then i don't trade it. again, it's the 'no shorting' that's the problem. don't wanna buy puts, due to wider spread, dealing w/time decay, etc.
