AFAIK there's no difference for US equities during regular vs outside normal trading hours. There may be limited exchanges offering trading, which might impact costs depending on your commission plan and your trading style, but I think the simple answer is it doesn't matter.

I agree. Please have a look at the full stats on the level of interrogation and the subsequent pass rates for various political groups. This is from NPR, by the way, so it's not like they're slanted conservative...

Yeah, like this one: http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/14/irs-official-lerner-approved-exemption-for-obama-brothers-charity/ That "extra examination" went a little differently for progressive groups than it did for the conservatives.

They're doing a 2:1 reverse split. It's now trading on CSE, not Venture. http://www.cnsx.ca/CNSX/Securities/Mining/Mazorro-Resources-Inc.aspx http://finance.yahoo.com/news/mazorro-resources-consolidate-common-shares-200000252.html No suggestions on what to do with it.

Personal loans are unregulated, but you may have trouble finding people to lend you money for speculative trading at only 6%. Some brokers charge that much for margin, and they've got all your positions as collateral to liquidate in real time. Do be wary of offering rates or bonuses that...

Do the price improvement auctions provide a way for the MMs to cut back ahead of customer orders?

What inequality? If you're a retail person and you place a limit order, don't you want people to trade with you? This makes that more likely.

Agreed.

I am interested to hear if anyone has noticed significant differences in margin treatment at various brokers. As an example, one stock I was trading recently ($350M market cap) had initial margin requirements of: 100% at IB 70% at TD Ameritrade 50% at many other brokers who didn't have...

TRGP is going crazy over the same rumors, also denied.

At IB's flat rate, you get 200 shares for $1.

Right, targeted them for the fast track and sometimes even retroactive approvals. http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/14/irs-official-lerner-approved-exemption-for-obama-brothers-charity/

Equity Trust works, probably not the cheapest. Several $100/year at a min, up to several $1k for larger accounts.

LOL

Yeah, 7 figure accounts might get thrown a few shares of a hot IPO. Much less than that and you're wasting your time. Also probably too late to buy Alibaba pre- IPO in places like Second Market at this point.

I keep costs low and rarely withdraw from my main trading account, mostly for occasional alternative investments. These days I am long on ideas and short on available capital, despite decent financing and returns. "IB wouldn't have given me 6:1 leverage if they didn't want me to use it. "

If market orders are good enough, maybe you can write a script that pulls your basket prices periodically from a public source or a broker and emails you when the overall profit target is hit. Then you can go place your sell order.

rbartell- I'm sorry you had this happen, but I'm not sure from reading the ARCA erroneous trade policy that it says what you describe, I.e. That any new 52 week high/low can be busted in the pre/after-hours. It does say that a new high/low is a factor to consider for outliers that don't...

Fidelity offers this, but only with market orders. Haven't used it. https://scs.fidelity.com/webxpress/help/topics/learn_basket_trading.shtml You could also use Motif investing which would let you buy and sell a basket of up to 30 stocks for just $10 each way (better than Fidelity where you...

Thanks for sharing all the details on this. I haven't hit this, but it's good to know about and be prepared.
