    AXR....WOW!...can you say rocketship!

    What is up with this stock in the past few months...amazing run up. Amazing that 80% of the float is SHORTED! Looks like a big squeeze coming on just for the pure fact that the insiders hold most of the shares, thus there is limited supply out there. Any other views from the couch?

    backtesting a strategy

    Anyone know how to get 1 day charts for NYSE stocks during this past year? I can get daily data such as OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE data as well as volume for days gone by, but I need to find daily charts for stocks. The stock charts I can find show only the previous days chart, or past 5 days...

    Short sell a declining stock?

    If my memory is correct, I had read that the 'uptick' rule was implemented to prevent traders from jumping in on a stock that was in the midst of a horrible downward spiral. The uptick rule requires at least one up tick of the stock before you can short sell it. Also, you cannot short some...

    anyone getting more than 4 to 1 margin?

    I am currently using Scottrade. They allow 4 to 1 margin with min. 25k cash. I have heard of some guys on here saying they were getting 10 to 1 margin. I hope the firms are reputable though. I guess that is my only concern with using a no-name company to trade and be worried they could...

    The worst worst beat ever...

    supposedly it happened in Atlantic City. Another bad beat story I heard of, with even more money lost: Two people in a 75/150 stud game. One woman(our hero) has made quad queens by 6th street. The other guy has a board showing K-K-3-3 One player has folded a K on 3rd street...

    What a good day today was!

    I have been doing some research (call it probability and statistics) of stocks. I have been fine tuning my method of which stocks to buy, and when to buy and sell them. At the present time, my best approach is to buy at 10am and sell at 3:55. Obviously, just looking at this day's stocks and...

    What a good day today was!

    If you check out the stock charts for all of these today, I didn't sell off at the tops. I just sold off at the end of the day....

    What a good day today was!

    I bought all of these at about 10:04am and sold them all off at 3:56. The only catch is that it requires a good amount of trading capital. The cost today was $229,800. But making $5500 makes it all worth while!

    The worst worst beat ever...

    Our hero, with his AA, on the flop had a 99.67% chance of winning the hand. The guy with 7-8 had a .22% of winning, and the Q-K had a slightly less chance with .11%! FYI: If you are a 99.67% chance of winning, you will win approximately 299/300 times, or only lose 1 time in 300!

    The worst worst beat ever...

    Ok folks, you have all seen and heard of bad beats right? Well, I have what has got to be the worst bad beat story of all time! Here it is: (thank god it wasn't me!) First, let me start by saying that this particular casino had a bad beat jackpot well in excess of $10,000. So with...

    Seeking mentor will pay

    If what you say is true, and you found a way to make money playing poker online as a pro, then you are certainly smart enuff to figure out a way to make money in the stock market! I have played poker, semi-professionally (you could say), for several years and I can honestly say first hand...

    Will anyone ever beat Zangar's World Record of turning $10k into 42million in 18 mos?

    I had bought 35,100 shares of MXT (Metris Corp) back in early 2003 when it had dropped to 1.25. The stock went to $15 before getting bought out. The other stock I had bought was ACF. This one still exists. I had bought 20,000 shares as it went to 1.55/share. Now ACF is mid 20's...

    I turned 75k into 1,100,000 in 18 months. Does that come close enough?

    The Dumbest Question of All Time?

    You are correct that at any given moment a stock price may move up or down, or even. This is looking at the next tick of the stock. What you haven't thought through is this: Do you consider it profitable if the stock moves from say 22.10/share to 22.11? Even if you bought 1000 shares...

    Whenever you have to give a credit card number on the job application, RUN as fast as you can!!! I made the mistake of actually giving them my credit card number and they charged my account $200 for a training course that I did not attend. After the "interview", the next day I called to tell...

    They offer no clients. You have to go and get your own customers and they make money off your sale. Once you try to sell to your friends and relatives and then work past your immediate contacts, it gets impossible to sell and you fail as is most often the case.

    ATW...a good short now?

    wow, I guess it's good info to know that no one trades this stock on here! I was wondering why so little messages on yahoo on it. I was right. 99% of the stock is traded by the mutual funds and institutions. And, we all know that when any kind of earnings shortfalls happen, they sell off...
