please forgive me if this idea is impractical. when i first started trading a couple years ago, i wrote a check using my credit card to fund a large portion of my trading account. thankfully, in the end i was able to beat the interest rate and eventually i paid off the initial credit card charge...

lol

found a place myself.. http://cnnfn.cnn.com/markets/afterhours/

anyone have a link to a good site to get free futures quotes for nasdaq, dow, and s&p 500? i'm looking for something kinda like on cnbc before the markets open. thanks

http://www.nukeafghanistan.net/ i especially liked the weather report and e-mail bin laden sections. lol

to be honest, i agree with you guys. i always check before i enter a position to see if earnings are due out soon. if they are, i either pass or exit the position prior. i posted my original message because i'm short RIMM, earnings are due out this wednesday, and the daily chart looks too good...

me, myself, and i are 571, 572, and 574 lol

speaking of imbeciles, check out some of the comments by those who signed the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?NoShorts

what are they?

where do you guys stand on holding a position through an earnings release? i'm speaking from a swingtrader's point of view.

i heard those filters for the masks have to be replaced. as often as like every 24 hours or so. so if you were to go this route, better load up on filters too!

there should be a better way to manage all this. i've seen so many posts asking about cash rules, margin rules, pattern day trader rules. this is becoming a big mess just like our tax returns.

i know some people here must be thinking the same thing i am. i like the group of people we have here, yet i wonder if it is in my best interest to share the things i've learned to other traders since we are all competing amongst one another. if i have a good idea i'd like opinions on, should i...

actually, if you meant bill o'reilly from fox news, i love that guy! i agree with a lot of what he says...not everything though. for example, he's religious (don't get me started). anyway, as for the cnbc people, i actually like them all pretty much. tyler m. is probably my favorite.

go here for their explanation: http://www.datek.com/helpdesk/margin.html#dayMarginRules here is also a e-mail i sent to them and the response i received: hello, i have a question about the new margin rule. i got a paper in the mail from you that says: "'pattern day traders' (those...

DATTrader, i wasn't really paying much attention to where it opened til you pointed it out. so yeah, i agree with you actually (on your time frame).

just had to get that out.

earlier today i was wondering what the hell happened around 10am. i later saw on cnbc that a trade went through for exds at $100.. lol last i knew it was really trading at like 20 cents. anyway, exds is in the nasdaq 100...although probably not for long!

interesting how you guys wanna short GILD. i'm currently long as a swing trade with a 10% gain. i'll be out tomorrow if it closes down.
