@TiffanyTrades ... yep ... well said

Yep - this was for 20k shares. I ask them if it my account was restricted - they said no, just standard policy applied to all accounts - said they were just checking to see if they had the shares available to short. Shouldn't have been related to liquidity, as i could have bought 3xs that amount...

Thanks for the advice!

Scenario is ... using a broker like Ameritrade ... placing a market short order on the highest average volume traded ETF ... with price movement less than 10% on the day (no uptick rule in effect) ... when i short with market order ... order status shows "Order being Reviewed" briefly instead of...

Goldman once predicted a $200 price. Anybody can guess, maybe $30.xx is my guess, based on very little, just a guess.

Your situation is very similar to my own. I began this thread in reference to RVs as i thought more people could relate to that over the actual circumstance. I work from my country home office on what's called extended dsl and it's really slow. Which i can live with but i recently had a detached...

I'll let wartrace comment on the specifics ... it's my understanding you'd order the one he spoke of here https://www.speedytradingservers.com/ as i can see they serve Traders only and not game sites / others. VPS is an acronym for Virtual Private Server meaning you are on a server along with...

@wartrace - very informative and very interesting - thanks!

Anyone try the Verizon Hotspot or AT&T Hotspot or other in their RV? Your thoughts? It's said that video streaming eats lots of data if you do it in an RV - which makes sense. Anybody know how say, Ameritrade streaming for 3 hours a day will effect data?

This year my broker statement (Ameritrade) wasn't sufficient (inconclusive) and i had to dig up trades from past 2 years. No biggie. But I've always fancied a time when i would trade more frequently. When i do, I'll need to plan for better records. If i start a file with 2 lines, showing the...

5 years later - from my current perspective ... 1) interest rates, the past 5 years have been attractive to fuel growth. 2) now, as always, investors / lenders focus more upon leaders / directors and their track record, than they do the opportunity. 3) in the specific case i dealt with ...

Thanks to all! I almost always learn something when i ask questions :)

Plan to buy a new cheap Dell this year. Still using an old Vostro with zero complaints - just building a detached office and outfitting it with something similar. I'm an old guy that is slow to change anything. Will i benefit from ordering the new box with Windows 8.1 instead of the 7 i now...

IRS says ... How much can I earn and still get SS benefits? If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2015, that limit is $15,720. Beginning with the month you reach full retirement age...

Interesting article here - i tend to agree - although i like commodities for intraday. http://www.hardassetsinvestor.com/columns-a-opinions/6537-russias-big-lesson-for-gold-investors.html
