What does it cost to publish stock data for the US on a public website (e.g. Yahoo Finance, Google finance, finviz.com etc)? In Europe this is around 1500$ per month for delayed and 3000$ for realtime.

If the S&P500 future is down 1% at 9:29 ET, how will the S&P open (adjusting for the disparity between future and cash)? In other words how good of an indication is the pre-market trade and how much of an effect does the first minute of trading have?

How good is the indication of premarket trading for the actual open on the S&P500? Does anyone have a link / study on this? Thanks.

Hmm, so is GMA a solid quirky plattform or buggy? The docs looks rudimentary. "ECHOtrade is home to some of the premier automated traders in the industry. " If that is so I wonder why they don't offer other plattforms.

I liked the last thread better. lol

I am currently based in Europe and thinking about moving to Canada to trade for a prop firm. I trade fully automated, mostly small- and midaps. Echo and Bright get mentioned often as two very respected firms. However, I am bit disappointed by the comments on the infrastructure. There is a...

I have been thinking about this. To answer the question: as with any auction, your decision will be based on some kind of trade-off between the probability that the order will get filled and the price. If you absolutely want to get filled you enter a market order or a limit order which is...

Trying to figure out how this works... So what you are saying is that the equity of the trader is subject to some internal margin-system? For example, very simply put, if the firm has 1M$ and 10 traders, each one of the them gets 10% = 100k buying power? But if the firm itself uses outside...

Hello, what kind of margining-system to "typical" prop shops have with regards to smaller stocks? For example IB uses as a general rule that stocks below 250M$ marketcap are not marginable. I would think that a good risk-management system uses other factors such as volume, %float, etc. as...

Make a prediction for sales / reservations and we will compare. 11k are reserved and 5k will be delivered. What is your guess for total sales by end of the year? My number: 30k, which would mean they would sell 2013's production by the end of this year.

Very aggressive short covering IMO. Risk reward for the shorts very bad now.

34$ mark. Could be huge the next days. Early delivery shows a lot of confidence. Shorts be aware.

Just did. See below. Question with regards to price is really: how much impact do the short-sellers have? Although short ratio is very high, the stock did well since the IPO. And of course: what is a proper valuation? Sales growth this year will be 160% and next year 200%+ and will likely...

nursebee, good call. I was surely the announcement that they will ship in June, one month early. First off, it's 50k to 70k. Secondly, fuel cost are 1/10 of that of a gasoline vehicle. Thirdly, model S is obviously not in the price competition business. But very few cars actually are. Why do...

I rather see a downmove for today. Negative earnings are always a good reason to sell. The shorts will not believe until we see the sales and eventual profits rolling in. This is very easy money over 1-2 years IMO. Valuation is not aggressive at all. 30x 2013 earnings, with massive growth rates...

Wow! Speaking of insider selling. Looks like major trouble ahead for the company I would think. Accounting issues will come home to roast at one time. http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2012/05/08/green-mountain-chairman-hit-with-margin-call/ Green Mountain chairman hit with margin call...

Don't think so. They entered the position at around 100$ a share. Which means at 40$ the return is increasingly small. Perhaps they added to it, but I would guess not. I shorted at 90$ and got out at 45$. Since Einhorns Lehmann call his short picks are a good catalyst, although with Joe it did...

A few datapoints * Seagate delivered a huge beat on April 17. Earnings per share came in at $2.64, crushing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26%. * the 2013 avg estimate is now $8-9, highest estimate 12$ * Seagate has generated $1.3 billion in free cash flow over the last 9 months and...

efinancialcareers ist pretty good. Some countries have registers of investment and / or trading companies where you can find out which firms there are (for example Eurex members are in many different countries). Otherwise there are quite a few head hunter out there. However, in the current...

I'm sorry, I could have used other words. I just don't understand why somebody with a repuation would write such an article, about such a speculative stock. Even if it is a good investment, to many it will appear to be not well intended (or perhaps it's just me). Someone posted this in...
