Hey Guys, Give It A Rest. AAPL is not going down at this point. There may be some modest profit taking during the next 2 weeks But There is too much momentum starting to build toward the release date now. The only thing that will stop AAPL from rising at this point is the company itself...

How about a national consumption tax (Sales Tax) for the masses and a continued income tax for all corporations -- just to give the IRS and tax accountants something to do. I know I will be happy to expel the April 15 annual night mare. :p

Where can I find this F-1 info? Just Curious. Thanks.

It's interesting how this article not once mentioned that Buffet made a great deal of his money by trading options on his stock holdings that he almost never sells. Maybe my information is wrong but with the kind of tremendous stock holdings he has, I can see him making lots of money...

I meant "singularly" focused.

Animal Spirits. That' a very tough one for me to address. You see, I don't use signals and I don't use charts. As a programmer also, I technically analyze the numbers only. My programs analyzes the usual suspects (open, high, low close volume) for the past 30 trading days. From these...

Ok, thanks No Worries. I see the problem now. I guess I didn't fully see it because I have never had to worry about such a scenario. I don't have a need for backtesting data so far back in time. I only need to test for 1 month back in time. And, that's all that I have ever...

All data that I have ever worked with where splits have occurred has been adjusted on every daily level to reflect the split. So stock is trading today for 34.00 and a 2 for 1 split occurs the next day, all prices on days before it are halfed also. So if it were 28.00 per share last week then...

a5519 Would you please enlighten us as to what the heck you are talking about? Why do you need more than 2 digits behind a decimal point? All cents less than a whole dollar are represented by only 2 decimal points e.g. .00 to .99. What exactly are you looking for in your backtesting...

If found this explanation on Etrade's Website: Nonprofessional and Professional Subscribers According to the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and the American Stock Exchange: a "Nonprofessional Subscriber" means any natural person whom a broker or dealer has determined to qualify as a...

Options yesterday on May 300 Calls For RTP was .15c Today's High on these Calls was 12.80. Does this mean that one option yesterday would have cost me only $15.00 plus commissions? and Does this mean that I could have made more than $1250 today on a $15 investment? :mad:

Does anyone know why financialchat.com is down? It has been down for over 48 hours now. What's gives? The day before, elitetrader.com went down in the middle of the day. Is there a hack attack going on here? What's going on? Anybody know? :confused:

I have never participated in extended hours trading but I was wondering if anyone knows if I could have sold shares of BIDU during the extended hours session although I may have purchased the shares during regular market hours? At the close, BIDU was 109.37. But, about an hour an half later...

No demoship. You misunderstood. The stop-loss doesn't vary. It's fixed. Actually, everything is a fixed figure and are based on the max. intended loss per trade. But, at some point it would be more prudent to convert to a trailing stop after a certain level of profit has been acheived...

But, you guys do agree that all premiums paid become profits in your account if the written options expire worthless without getting assigned, right?

Again, I am not an options trader. But, I understanding the basics. First of all, if you are so confident that there are no downside risk then why even worry about creating spreads? If everything is going to be up up and away then the way I see it is that there are only 2 options choices...
