So much for chilling out, preserving capital, and moving into cash. YOU ARE A MANIAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T STOP!!! :D

$Cost, I just wanted to say that I have been lurking and enjoying your thread a lot. I have been playing with some of your stocks and been finding some of my own for the last week or so with nice results. I like the idea of placing a lot of bets and diversifying across sectors/markets. I...

Yep, I should have brought up the fact that there will be a second offering soon for the members. That may just offset all of their short positions :)

So what kind of news is this, good or bad? I saw the news this morning that www.BuyIns.net added them to their fail to deliver list. To me this means that there are people buying the stock and the other side of the trades are short sellers. The short seller's prime brokers can not borrow the...

Yeah, he told me that I couldn't enter an order untill the following day. I then explained that the options are definetly trading and that I had just called the CBOE floor, which is why I asked him if I could use IB's order desk to enter an order. I have no idea why he said no to that.

I believe the firm is called Chicago Trading Services. their website is http://www.chicagotradingservices.com/ Looks like they are still putting the site together, but there is contact info.

I was going to post it but I didn't want to whine. It's total B.S. but I haven't found anybody else worth a shit so I may keep my account at IB for a while longer. This was my first option trade through IB. Since you asked, here is what happened: I bought AX options, they were in my account...

Wow, a compliment on this forum? I must be dreaming. :) I'm still in, I almost sold my calls a lot lower yesterday morning so I'm using that as a mental stop. Good thing IB sucks and they wouldn't let me sell them when I was thinking about it. We'll see what happens...

Yeah, it's crazy. I was posting earlier this week, asking why the hell everyone wasn't buying AX http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60079 I averaged in on some April 65 calls the last couple of days. (I couldn't sleep last night by the way). Now I am torn on whether or...

The Arca/NYSE merger closes on March 4th. Here is a link to two of the many reports on the NYSE website: http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/2005proxystatement.pdf http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/SupplementNYSEArcaMerger.pdf From what I have read, any holder of AX stock will recieve a share for share...

Any opinions on AX? They got final approval by the SEC to merge with the NYSE a couple of days ago. The stock has more then trippled since the days before the announcement last April. With the NYSE going Hybrid this year, I assume they will be using ARCA's technology. I'm long a little and...

I'm still long a little NWACQ and am curious what will happen to the stock. It is hanging around .36 It trades a couple of hundred thousand shares a day. I don't have any experience in companies that have filed, and I was wondering if anyone can elaborate on what is driving the price. Who...

We forgot to mention that we all get a cut of your profits (but not losses) for the assistance. :)

It has been a while since I messed with this type of thing. DDE is not really "updating" the cell, the cell is just displaying the updating data. But that data can be used in formulas as you know. So, You can write some VBA to do a timer that will snap shot the data (copy/paste) every...
