Opened an account with Suretrader last week, it's an offshore firm operated by a person named Guy Gentile. They appeared to have attractive commissions (negotiated) and affiliate program. I am no longer so sure as it looks like maybe they made some mistakes. I made a few trades. I faded...

RIMM's performance today was less than inspirational. I am testing out some new brokers. My account was setup today for the first account I have started in ten years. Will report how it goes. Zynga reports next week. I wrote about it and I will likely position long Monday as well.

I can not agree with you more. Even if the do kick 10 out the door anytime soon. It's not likely they are going to have the ecosphere for app development. Still, RIMM is trading for not much more than cash Bob

Good idea. yes it's been a while. RIMM has been good to me, but I haven't traded it in a couple of months. Have a good weekend Bob

Thanks

I watched the FB crazyness for a while. back to work for me now. option expiration day. Gonna talk to the Lightspeed folks Monday, you don't use them do you?? Trying to gain some feedback. I watched an option webinar they hold ever once in a while. Good webinar, but way to basic for...

TheStreet live blog has over 8000 people in it, I can't keep up reading the comments but it appears a fair number opened a brokers account just to buy this one. It's insane Oh how I wish i had a piece of the IB business on this one...... Looks like we are going to have a nice weekend here...

Hey Badger, Are you going to trade it? I don't think I am touching it. without being able to short, I see no edge. You?

theStreet live blog for facebook just went over 5200 people....wow

TheStreet has a live blog for facebook IPO, Anyone who believes trading is dead hasn't read the comments coming in. There are a lot of people interested in stocks who appear ready to buy stocks who are totally new to the world of investing. There is over 4K people in there right now....wow...

right, I am not interested in prop because I am writing about stocks, but my issue is the platform and especially the confirmation to trade with book trader The other issue is ticket cost. 400-500 share lots to knock out the min ticket cost. I like to scale in and out of trades and prefer...

Hedged my MAKO position today, still underwater, but the hedge will bring me to the surface absent another strong push down. I also took some gains in my sim account. I am not (again) enjoying IB a whole lot. I received a promotion from Lightspeed. Even after the promotion the rates are...

Thanks, I am still long (until Friday) nat gas with a short position on puts. they are about a penny now. Will be interesting to see if UNG will move past the 90MA next week or not. I am still writing about stocks everyday also. It's working out as well as the nat gas trade : 0 )

still holding UNG, wanted to sell NFLX puts for a weekend fling but ran out of time trying to get something else done before the bell.

bought TST today for a long term hold

LOL funny. Thanks for posting. I would agree there is more of an edge selling than buying overall

Today turned into a really great day all around. My UNG position moved deep in the green. I also had my first article published by thestreet.com which is very exciting and humbling at the same time...

At the time I sold the UNG puts they were out of the money but now in the money. Time decay has worked off most of the drop in UNG price so the position is only slightly underwater. I will look to Tuesday as the next add on date if continued weakness. I am small enough to hold the position for...

My VXX short puts expire tomorrow. I was distracted or I would have likely exited out when the traded under $0.15 each. I am building slowly a short put position in UNG. I don't believe natural gas prices are going up any time soon, but I do believe we are due for a technical bounce so I am...

Trading update. I missed out on a great call fading HEAT the other day. IB didn't have any shares. I am still net long via short put options on VXX. VXX gave lots of love today and now the position is firmly in the winner column. With time decay working its magic it should continue to be good
