    Trading during Conference Calls

    I keep an eye on price and volume of some equities that are announcing, and see what happens after they announce, and trade in the direction of the move. They certainly move because of the announcement, and it doesn't matter what they announced.

    1000 shares of IBM from 1947

    You'll need a copy of your uncle's death certificate. The shares will be sent to the transfer agent to get them placed in your name. Like the above posts wrote, your broker can help you with that. Sorry about your uncle; happy for your new fortune. I'm surprised though that your uncle's executor...

    Sometime mutual fund ideal is fraud

    Wondering: Doubtful that their withdrawals would be all at once and for their complete holdings. Don't overlook the fact that boomers, they say, will be the beneficiaries of their parents' estates, which are said to be at record levels of inheritance. If that's so, that will certainly provide...

    Can i SUE a Brokerage for refusing me because of my citizenship?

    You're free to sue whomever you wish, the question really is, will you prevail? You'll need to first pay for attorneys for representation and pay for court costs, discoveries, depositions, etc. IMO, your claim for damages will be summarily dismissed. During those 7 weeks, you were free to...

    MSO: Halted & Guilty

    MS was found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements, and perjury. The securities charge had been thrown out. It is not illegal to sell stock when your broker calls you to tell you that the CEO of the stock you hold is selling his. That's not insider trading, and that's...

    yesterday's highs will be taken out (today)

    I believe GG without his having to post a statement. He was a humble kinda nice guy when he was losing money, and he's got a nasty temperament now. Just like a sweet guy may turn into a mean drunk only by really drinking alcohol, only someone actually making money may turn into a successful but...

    RYAN JONES Live Account course

    I can't say concerning Jones, but typically, people trade with wild abandonment in trading contests without regard to money management or risk. Someone's going to win the contest, and that doesn't always mean that they're great traders. Could just mean they were the highest risk player and were...

    Is 56 winners out of 64 total positions a good trading record?

    I will. So, mrmarket, my questions are on the floor. BTW, footnote to db: Hershey made some sense to me, and to some others. Yet, I asked him questions too.

    Is 56 winners out of 64 total positions a good trading record?

    Quote from dbphoenix: Because you keep asking it. I bring it up because it's a good question and hasn't been answered, although Michael's response was food for thought. Again though, I'd rather get it from the horse's mouth. So I repeat the question because I'd like an answer. It's a good...

    Is 56 winners out of 64 total positions a good trading record?

    No, it's because he says his model puts him into stocks which can gain 15%. So, if one of his stocks that the model chose is down 30% from his entry, but he maintains the stock will yet exceed entry by 15%, then his potential is greater in that stock than in taking on a new position. One would...
