    Can one of you take my survey for class?

    Great guys, thanks a lot. Now some questions for you. What class is this for and why did you choose traders as an example of career people? How do you think the replies to this survey will help your education? This is for a college freshman English class. The idea is to write a piece...

    My 401k got closed!

    No age minimum for a roth IRA as long as you have earned income, you will need your parents to sign on if you are under 18 though.

    Can one of you take my survey for class?

    Ive got nothing against those other games you mentioned, and quite frankly I dont think I've ever played or watched a game of chess. This survey is not for my personal gain, but for a pathetic english class. The questions are not what I would want to ask a trader for personal gain, but what...

    Can one of you take my survey for class?

    I have to interview a person in a career for class, and was not able to get a floor trader in person, so I am hoping one of the career traders here would be willing to answer these questions for me real quick. Thanks a lot. How do you deal with the high stress and emotion each day? How do you...

    NY Giants Super Bowl Win = Green Tomorrow

    I believe the NFC vs AFC stat is just coincidental, you can find stats like that for anything, but i do believe that the market will be up tomorrow because traders will be in a good mood. People say mood and emotion play no part in the market, but i believe otherwise and expect to be up 100+...

    Jobs: .63% owner of apple?

    um...thats still nearly a billion dollars worth of stock. I dont know what you are trying to say. He also has more options currently that have not been exercised. Maybe he is being paid in "some non-standard way," possibly McChickens or double cheeseburgers?

    True or False?

    I didnt waste any of my time reading this garbage, but if you are claiming he has never made a penny, why doesnt he buy the dollar everyday at the open? either eventually he makes a profitable trade or the dollar goes completely to 0...

    So I set up my 401k at age 18

    I started maxing out my roth IRA when I was 16 as soon as I had a job. I was fortunate and did not have many expenses, so I was able to stash away that 4k a year working part time. The thing that really convinced me to open it was creating a spread sheet and seeing how big of a sum a few...

    NWS rumor

    Selling the stock to protest? HAHAHAHA. Come on all you are doing is losing money, and giving other investors a chance to pick up NWS at a discount. Boycott the station and their media, something that will actually affect the company if you want to, rather than selling the stock which has no...

    Let's Endeavor To Make Some Money

    I dont think it is too late at all to get in. Its tough to find good stats on the company so Ill post some. 74 million shares, 1.1 billion market cap, 2007 sales should be 360 Million. gives us a P/S ratio of 2.9, compare that to URBN, VF corp, LULU, CROX. Q3 same store sales were 27%. 175...

    Let's Endeavor To Make Some Money

    Im still am not positive on how these blank check companies work, it was my understanding that they would just buy one company, AA, and then become that company, refile as them and EDA shareholders would now be the AA shareholders. Is that not always the case? Another thing i am a little...

    Let's Endeavor To Make Some Money

    I hate to bring up such an old topic, but i didnt want to start a new one with the same idea. I like the stock here at 12 with the deal expected to go through in a few months. EDA has released some of AA's numbers and I think they look great. 70% EBITDA growth YoY, 30% Revenue(55% on retail...

    Anyone playing any arbitrage?

    Ive been watching Alcans spread increase its now at 96-95 it should be take private at 101 by the end of the year as long as the deal holds up. TRB has a huge spread, but looks like that deal is falling apart. Anyone have opinions on these stocks or others? It seems like a decent place to park...

    The Year is half done. Grade yourself.

    I am right about on pace for my goal, but i missed a few opportunities and made a few dumb mistakes, so i am give myself a a poor grade for the first half. In an environment like we have had I should have done better.

    IB's interface easy to use?

    I am thinking about switching to IB, but have only used Charles Schwab before and want to make sure that the IB interface will be easy to learn. I also want to know if you have to qualify to trade options and spread? Schwab would only let me trade covered calls and puts because my income is not...
