Thanks, muller. which form though? freewilly

Hi, I had pretty big gain on trading in 2009. I just heard that I can not wait to file tax return till April 15th, otherwise I will get big penalty. How do I pay my tax? I looked up IRS webpage, but am still not sure which form I should fill and where I should send my money to. I need to do...

Neke, Congratulations for the year. I know you don't quite reach your goal, but how many people can reach that goal? You should be happy with the result and be proud of yourself. I am looking forward to seeing your new thread next year. I don't post often, but your thread is the only one I...

it does not make sense. RIMM DEC 65 call today, high was close to $2.6 and low was close to $1.6. How did you you get yours filled at $3.3? You mean you bought RIMM DEC 65 puts? DEC 65 puts today, high was around $3.8 and low as around $3.00. Your $3.3 was in that range.

If you adjust inflation, do not forget in 1970s people didn't not have to buy all the nice stuff we are buying now? In 1970s, can they buy 32" flat screen LCD TV? in 1970s, can they buy 100MHz desktop?, let alone laptop? In 1970s, do they have hybrid cars? Just do not forget that we...

i think you did pretty well last week. The last GOOG call could go either way, but unfortunately the luck was not on your side. You could make 100K on that trade.

Thanks for the post. I can proudly call myself an investor now. I usually hold a position for few hours to couple of days, but in the new ear, DT is defined as holding and changing a position in millisecond, I must be an investors. I ma taking taking tremendous risk for holding a position...

http://www.allied-physicians.com/salary_surveys/physician-salaries.htm This post made me laugh. Do not tell me one or two doctors you know. The average physician pay an be easily found on many website. Do not bring up insurance, etc. Those are average net income. Do not bring up long hours...

Thanks, guys. Not sure exactly what you guys are talking about, but you guys made me realize that this thing is complicated. Thanks a lot anyway. freewilly

It happens all the time to me, and I am paying bug price on this. Someone please help. For instance, UIS, bid/ask is 1.65/9000 and 1.66/12000 I sent a limit price buy order of 20000 shares at 1.66. it filled 12000 shares, and 8000 shares unfilled. Now level II become 1.66/24000 (my...

Those trades are boring. Even if you had sold those position as you wished, how much could you make? Those would be ordinary gains that day traders make everyday. It is not the same type of home run trades you reported in your first post. What was you last home run trade? I mean 10X bagger?

I believe what you wrote and congratulations to the success. I would guess it is getting much harder for you to repeat your success as options are much more expensive than few years back. OTM calls are very expensive now. You have been very patient on your trading, and my gut feeling is...

I just know that if someone gives me a million dollars now, I will be very happy. Yes, money does buy happiness. No need to lie about this.

i would guess "luck" is a big part of his success. We always here that someone made 100 million in one day by winning lottery.

Bought DRYS June 6 calls at today's closing. Bid/ask was 0.60/0.65. I bought at 0.65. but the closing price was 0.63. How can people buy at 0.63? I thought it had to be 0.05 incremental. Can anyone explain this to me? Also bought BAC, that's much better. It has penny incremental...

Yes, that's the key. If you have 10K shares of a stock, 1 penny slippage cost you $100. That's far more than commission. If you trade with 100k shares, forget about finding the cheapest commissions. Just find the most reliable broker at any cost. 1 penny slippage cost you $1000.

Risk, I think you are right, but that does not mean you can not negotiate the commission if you trade actively. I have much reduced fee for my non Izone account. $7/trade is not too bad. Again, I'd be happy with $10/trade with them. I like them. freewilly

Hi, Risk, Forget about IB, the fee is way too high. I closed my account with IB. Yes, the fill lately on Ameritrade is going down. It seems the server can't handle the load. For your account size, the fill should not have much problem, although TD does have some hiccups lately. I am...
