no trades the last few days. still have the .10 sell order on the q puts. i'm gonna let the yhoo calls ride for a bit. i might've even bought some more yhoo itm calls after earnings since i felt it oversold, but no mo free money to do so (that said i might buy some near otm/atm jan 06 yhoo...

down but not out... I'm gonna hold the yhoo options until theres an up day. Another transaction -- Bought 40 shares of QQQQ AUG 37 puts at 5 cents each (total cost 210.95). looking to sell at the ask of 10 cents. I might have to nickel & dime my way up. When I get time I'll start...

still got about 200 cash plus remaining value of yahoo calls (I'm gonna guess they'll be around 500). Still possible to climb out of this hole (although to do so quickly will entail more similar gambles)... This thread was about trading my way to an nsx or going bust, and I'm gonna keep goin...

looks like a bad call.....the nsx is getting further away...

damn..looks like i missed out on meeting my july goals :) ..oh well I would've been out at 3.80 anyways (due to my limit order). ecst is a strange one. its bouncing between 3.5 to 5.5 (and other smaller ranges inbetween) on absolutely no news or other relevant development, and often has...

Not bad. List price on that is 54.95. Depending on shipping costs, I may have a little money left over. Unfortunately its on back order plus i prefer black, so I'm gonna keep on playing for somethin betta...

Closed out the ecst position for a small gain. Originally bought 1111 shares at 3.60 and total cost of 4012.22 Sold all shares for 3.68 and total proceeds of 4088.29 For a 76.07 gain. The gain added about 1.5% in value to my 5k starting acct balance, which puts me on track to meet my plan...

man why's everyone hatin on my path to the future nsx. Lets just say I got lucky it hit at 3.60. I figured it would hit sooner or later in the day (the stock is pretty volatile) just didn't think it would so soon. I'm not gonna start my thread by lieing about a couple pennies. BTW, I've...

my bad. incorrect use of calculator... total cost was 4012.22

First trade just went thru... I've started trading in a fidelity acct, but once my ameritrade acct becomes option enabled, i'm going to switch to that acct cuz the commissions on my fidelity acct will make trading penny options or penny stocks too costly... Fidelity further complicates...

Dont want to get too off topic, but its amazing what ppl do at the roulette table. Last time I went there was this guy who was placing bets on about 3/4 of the numbers, and varying size bets. So he was hitting on almost every spin, but sometimes even if he hit he'd still lose money. I think...

Elite Interest, I really appreciate the solution. It looks real good, but it violates my no-margin rule so unfortunately I have to pass. Also I'm in no rush, I can wait a few months (will give me time to car shop) so I'll probably go with something less aggressive... cmk, I imagine ib is...

I like your thought process. Any suggestions on potential calculated gambles? I've already got my first trade planned and will post once/if it executes on monday. No need for personal attacks. Its been said that there's a correlation between having 'unrealistically' high postive...

1. A little. I've been investing (mid - long term) for 3 years now, just started short term swing trading options. So I'm a trading newbie. 2. Swing Trading (ie less than 1 week per trade) for 2 months now. All my swing trades so far have been on stocks that I'm long on, and with which...

I'm going to start out with 5k in an acct. My goal is to make enuf money (in the next year) to get myself an Acura NSX* (or possibly their new sports car since 2005 is the end of the line for the NSX and honda has said there will be a new supercar, although haven't given any details yet)...

You may have already done the fund research so might at well make use of it... but i do agree with enzo to an extent... when i invest in funds, they're always index funds (takes no mental effort to 'pick' the right fund); sometimes sector funds... The problem with purchasing funds (that...

i'm not a fan of funds of funds since your basically paying twice the expense ratio and not necessarily getting anything out of it. if the manager can trade funds, why can't he/she trade securities? therefore my pick looks like #1.

cramer has said that a bunch of times, although being called the next buffet and actually being the next buffet is completely different. Not to get off on a cramer tangent, but he also said "buy just one share and hold". he also said that about goog a while ago (i haven't watched his show in...

I'm also confused about this. By all accounts, investing in shld is essentially making a bet that lampert will make spectacular business decisions/changes/acquisitions. The selling of property is essentially a one time gain (sooner or later they'll run out). What they do with the money from...

put it all in an s&p500 index fund. If u cant afford to lose any of it, try some treasury notes. If u want something with more upside, find a good value stock and put some in there. If u want an mreit, my pick right now is nfi
