Since you arent looking for direct access.. I wouldnt do over the phone. If they only charge you $10 for a phone order, something is wrong with that company... So ameritrade has flat rate $11 trading fee, regardless of the # of shares. I dont trust their execution times though. In a...

This thread...It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed

I sold out my bidu position yesterday (originally bought at 66 & 100), sold positions at 200, 270, and 324(all within the last 2 months). Its been my experience that when a stock runs up like baidu has, with no significant event, its likely to run back down. I'm not willing to predict the...

Closing a position prior to the goog report is probably a good bet. For the last year, they crush the estimates every q, and the stock still pullback afterwards. This month, they've already moved up 80points (on no news), which I think will lead to all the bandwagon fans jumping off once they...

They dont, the greater economy benefits. They need to retrain themselves and do other jobs. Its not only outsourcing, technology has also killed many jobs --highway toll-both workers for one. Should we not have infrared toll collection system because it took away a job? Thats freaking...

Well, some of those are service positions, and others require a knowledge of the local laws; which makes them harder to do offsite. However even in medicine, things like examining x-rays/ct/mri are actually now done offsite and its just a matter of time until that goes overseas (if it hasnt...

As a software developer, my type of job has been shipped abroad, and I'm sure my salary has already been somewhat impact cuz of it. But you know what, I don't care. Why does Joe Shmoe in the US deserve the job more than Joe Shmoe in China, India, or Brazil??? If a guy in India could do my...

Because the top value investors have proven they can get 30+% annualized returns without using any leverage, and by almost never having down years. Thats why. Because the market has temporary price innefficiencies and they've found a textbook method (yes, its actually written out in a...

yes

Are you working? You shouldnt be. You should be managing your account full time. At your current rate of return you'll be the richest person in the world in 20 years. Congrats.

No fibre/wire. They're not a telecom or cable company, simply a VoIP provider. ~90mil market cap This past q + cash flow + earnings + revenue + no indications of patent infringements They're most recent presentation tells it better than I could in words so I'll just link it...

8x8 (Pure VoIP company). Just had its 1st ever profitable quarter (500k GAAP earnings) Thoughts? Is this a sign the company will do well in the next few years, turning the increasing subscriber rates into increasing profits?

Thanks for the personal stories. Over the past week or two, I've kind of dismissed my ideas of going into finance (atleast for now). You're right. I could make more in finance, but if I have to work 20 hours/week more, then it kind-of washes out. My personality isn't necessarily...

rufus...I appreciate the harshness of your reply(not being sarcastic). At this point, I'm more looking for plausible/realistic avenues I can head to since I'm starting to get bored with software dev (its okay, but I find it a bit lacking in the cerebral side) & also I'd like to have a higher...

Thanks for the replies. I've thought about an mba; although it doesnt match my near term goals (ie doing quantitative stuff doesnt require an mba) and the effort for a ms in math finance I think is too much (ie I'm not going to go to school full time for a year for it)... I've also...

I'm currently a software engineer, and I'd like to make a career switch. Just some background info; I'm 27, have an MS in comp sci from Columbia, and 5 years software dev experience...I'm pretty good at analytical tests, although its been a while since I've been in school so I'd probably...

congrats man. i'm about 35% goog stock + 10% goog long options. Its gonna be a good quarter.

to the thread creator: what does the potential sale of face book have to do with... trying to get out of taxes? here's an idea: if one doesn't like paying us taxes, one does not have to live in the us. as far as facebook goes, I agree it probably is a fad. myspace might be too...

so this should go unpunished because there are worse companies in the world? thats great logic: if someone burned down your house would say "don't worry officer, you go catch some real criminals, this arsonist is small potatoes compared to the rapists and killers still on the loose"...

goog owns a part of bidu so he's got some international exposure already
