    New Jersey drivers worst in nation?

    I have not driven in NJ in a while but do recall that the directional signs I needed always seemed to be postage sized and placed AFTER the point I needed to exit. Insofar as driving ability is concerned, I would put the typical Oklahoma driver up against any NJ driver for the title of "Worst in...

    I'm 75% short, $100K

    FWIW I heard Joe Granville predict last week that we will see a pullback in the DOW and that the market is topping. I have heard a lot of traders have been picking a top in the homebuilders and recall guys bragging about going short CTX when it was at 94. When CTX got to 113, I recall hoping...

    Float Analysis ... Turn over & Chanels

    The points you make in your post pretty much cover why I am skeptical about this analysis technique (although I must confess, I never gave much thought to shares tied up in probate :) ).

    Float Analysis ... Turn over & Chanels

    A guy by the name of Steve Woods has a website called http://www.Floatanalysis.com where he uses floatanalysis to look at stocks. I occasionally listen to Steve on Tom O'Brien's shows on TFNN over the internet between 9-10 am CT and 3-5 pm CT. I'm not convinced of the worth of this analysis tool...

    Interesting stock picking approach

    One potential source of info would be on Yahoo Finance. On the left side of the page, go to Analyst Coverage, Analyst Opinion. There you will see your stock rated from 1 (strong buy) to 5 (strong sell). Using your method, you would be looking for the 5's. Below the ratings are a list of...

    Daytrading for starters

    Check out http://www.tfnn.com . Tom O'Brien has an AM and PM talk show where he discusses stocks and his system of technical analysis which is based strictly on price and volume. It is easy to understand and makes sense. You can listen to the shows over the internet.

    Trading after a job layoff

    Finding a mentor could really jumpstart your chances. Lacking that, perhaps this could be the next best thing. A guy named Tom O'Brien has AM and PM talk shows that are available over the internet at http://www.tfnn.com . This guy utilizes a simple system of technical analysis based strictly on...

    free trading magazine

    Perhaps I too am paronoid but I will not include information about my worth or my phone number. I'm tired of being telemarketed to death. I've taken steps to stop that and do not intend to open the door again.

    Options Courses

    Bobcathy I would suggest that you check out www.schaeffersresearch.com as a resource for information on trading options. They do sell a lot of services but I think what you need at this point is information and not somebody throwing a bunch of trades at you. FWIW Bernie Schaeffer is a...

    Cramer & Kudlow short gold

    The dollar is in the tank, gold is knocking at 400's door, the Fed is pumping dollars into the system like there is no tomorrow and these 2 pinheads are short gold. Sounds like a great contrarian indicator to me. They are entertaining to watch on CNBC but for entertainment purposes only.

    Calculating end of day volume

    I do not know of any SW offhand to do this but the calculation is not difficult. For example, if the market has been open 2 hours and your stock has traded 1,000,000 shares, do the following: 1,000,000 / 2 = 500,000 ; 500,000 X 6.5 (hours the market is open) = 3,250,000 shares for the day...

    IRS Trouble

    I know I'm coming to this party a little late but I recall (and perhaps maggandre will correct me if I am wrong) that the monetary penalty for filing your tax return late is more severe that submitting payment late or not submitting payment with your return. If this is the case (assuming you can...

    Using Datek

    There have been occasions with Datek that their display of option information has been totally screwed up. For example, I try to pull quote information for a specific option, yet there are times that Datek does not acknowledge that the particular option exists. However, if I go to Bernie...

    Using Datek

    Datek was purchased by Ameritrade a while back. There are probably faster and/or cheaper e-brokers available (I know a lot of Elitetrader regulars use IB to trade through) but I have been satisfied with the service I have received from Datek/Ameritrade so far. I have traded through them a little...
