which risk management books do you recommend?

oh yea...I'm a part time evening student at a university. My grades suffer because I'm not focused on school. I'm distracted by family business, stock trading, and home needs.

My entire family comes from a family business background. I have support from my dad. My mom supports me somewhat but it isn't like she would support me by actually giving me money to trade. My dad doesn't know how I make trading decisions and he doesn't want to know. All I hear is the...

I agree with Mike805, but I don't like it. It really blows because I'm bilingual and I have horrible communication skills in both languages. I graduated high school with high test scores but with a very low gpa. I ditched most of my classes during my senior year because I was running a...

i could open an account under my dad but I'm afraid of IRS audit problems that may result from it.

I have an account with IB that falls under the pdt rules. Is it possible and legal to open another account with IB so that I can have another 3 day trades available?

Got worn out and shook out with a large loss from what could have been a small loss if I had just waited. Everytime I begin to incur a large loss I sell my profitable stocks early and back out of placing good trades. If I had not paniked, today would have been profitable. I managed to...

This was announced after market closed on the day of a good cc. I bought in too high. I may actually buy more at the lower price. 1.5 billion in notes and preferred shares were announced for the $2.2 billion dollar cash aquisition of Columbia Natural Resaources, LCC PR Newswire "500...

Did anyone else get screwed after the private offering announcement at 4:01pm?

whats wrong with donny deutsche?

In what ways is it possible to lose the money in IB accounts besides from placing bad trades? If I die or become a vegetable, will the money in my IB account be transferred to a family member? I actually posted this in the IB forum but it didn't post.

$253 My largest gain.

why do guys dislike the engineering field so much? I was actually wanting to dive into the engineering studies at my school.

I trade within the limits of the pdt rules and I believe most if not all the information you need can be found using the search function. Thats just how I found out most of it. Your method of trading would fall under the PDT rules. Say you bought 500 shares of a stock one day. On that...

How did you figure out that a huge number of sellers got out at 21?

funny thing is that im up 110 unrealized in AMD by luck...hehe

I accidentally bought 400 shares at 21.775 and I have to wait until at least tomorrow before I can sell it. At least its not on margin. Anybody think they know where this stock is headed?

started out with unrealized gain of about $100 but then I incurred a loss of $200. I ended at -21 realized. I'm at -69 unrealized so far mainly because I accidentally bought instead of selling AMD shares. I've come to my PDT limit so I'll have to hold onto it. I'd break even as usual...

I told myself I wouldn't trade low volume after I lost money on an ARLP trade only to see it jump up a few points right after I sold it.

what's with toyota today? It stalls and then tanks repeatedly.
