sunshine, Thanks. I don't know who you are or what you stand for but you just shot anything you have ever said straight to hell. Oktiri, its cool. You are right I scanned some threads and you and I disagree on some things. But I am fine with your ideas if your OK with me trying to...

Biodave, Did people actually reviecve heating oil? I remeber it was offered. I was thinking for some reason prices fell a bit and the issue kinda went away. I would not be suprised though if people did accept the heating oil.

first oktiri you wasted your own time replying. Bio thanks for the numbers, but I am more concerned with comparisons to the worse off, not those (poor or not) that are living better. I am sorry if I was unable to conceal anything political from my post. I guess it is difficult to...

I am relatively new here and just finished reading some really good post. However lots of subjects stick out, that I would like to talk about. I feel that the inequalities of the rich and poor are unimportant. And they certainly should not be used as a political tool. I feel that the...

because you would be making a decision that effects everyone using your personal needs as the deciding factor. Kinda like making decisions that are overall, longterm bad for your company but will in the short term allow you to hit your numbers and get your bonus. Its all BS Any man that...

Wow man thats pretty nice(12.5 gallons and 3 fill ups a month) I have two vehicles each with 25 gallon tanks and they both get filled at least once a week. So 50 gallons 4 dollars =200 a week/800 month or more. or 2.25(todays price here) *50 112.5/wk 450 month. While still not a...

Its November practically. Gas is 2.50 or less. Wives across the nation are going to buy presents for Christmas I do not thik they arent ready just yet to give up on it. The cheaper gas should put some cash in peoples pockets for a little while, I think it will get spent on Christmas...

I was only trying to point out that the bottom of the cert states that id the document is altered it is invalid. But thanks for showing the world the type of personalities that support Obama.

There are several people questioning the AFRICAN labeling of his fathers race on that cert. Seems they think it would have read NEGRO in 1961. I have no idea if that is true. But if it is and the person that made this legal copy changed the race to AFRICAN from NEGRO it would invalidate...

Got it thanks. I do appreciate you taking the time to help me work it out in my head.

gts, thanks for the info. I obviously am missing something. Maybe I am only seeing it from my view. I just can't help but feel there is a problem when I paid X dollars for the right to sell a stock. Then am told I cant sell the stock. If I can't sell the stock, ok I am cool with...

I do not know how we can determine he wrote naked puts. The option writer may have owned those shares. According to ameritrade there is no way to determine who wrote the puts I bought.

gts just explain it to me if you have time. I paid for the option to sell 1000 shares at 3.00 Obviously I am missing something that you know. PS I have realised that I should have determined the difficulty of borrowing the stock first.

Reardon, That is exactly the lesson I learned. And I will probably not use the same method again. I was thinking that if I was wrong and the stock did not rise I could sell out and exercise the options reversing my position in the money. Obviously it backfired on me. However, think...

gts, what I would have liked them to have done differently would be to not offer a stock for me to short when they did not own the stock in the first place. It may be impossible with ameritrades system but it would have been nice if they had informed me, when the options that I paid 600...

Thanks Rob. I feel the same way. Guys I must not have explained clearly. Although I did not buy the options with the intent of shorting the stock, I did at some point change my mind. So, I sold my shares of ford and held on tho the options. I intentionaly let them exercise because...

GTS sorry if I gave you the impression I wasnt fully aware of what I was doing. You do realise I wanted to exercise the options.

I guess I got myself into the situation. Its really not that big of a deal. I wonder though if when shorting a stock the borrower shouldnt be given a time frame for the transaction. Something like I will let you borrow these shares for no less than x days.

I understand that I am shorting shares held by another client of ameritrade. I still feel that ameritrade should not have offered the shares if they couldnt let me keep them. I still do not understand why you say I allowed myself to get in this position. I wanted to exercise the options...

I am not sure I understand your reply. I had no idea that ameritrade would exercise my options if they were negative ford shares. Basically they took the 600 I paid for the options gave it to the writer of the options, then told me sorry you cant sell the shares. Then they charged me to...
