    Do you need Diversification? or Stoploss is enough?

    I've tried to daytrade (I.E. in in the morning, out a little bit later), and for stocks, it just does not seem to work for me. I can only buy 100 - 500 of shares at a time, and I do believe diversafication is key to the market. Therefore, I manage about 26 posistions across different sectors...

    21 IPOs going live this week. Quite an array of companies

    I just read a Red Herring article on the 21 IPO's going live this week, and most of them have huge losses. Why would anyone want to underwrite these companies with such huge negative revenues? One of them has had its revenues in the red since 1986. Am I the only one to think some of these...

    Futures 101

    Last time I checked, corporate bonds are not futures. Looking at Oil, Gold, Silver and Indexs. Just need to be pointed in the right direction.

    Futures 101

    I am going to start to dip my foot into futures and I just wanted to see if anyone can give me a starting plan of how this is different from stocks and bonds, as well as how to start to trade futures. Links to guides and information would be helpful as well. Thanks.

    Getting into ETF's

    Grow up Forex. Anyway, back to the post. I want to start to investing outside of the USA via ETF's. I am already in funds in Russia and China; and they've been doing well. I want to get into Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia developing economies. Investment starting at 50k equally...

    Getting into ETF's

    I wanted to get into some international ETF's for pure growth. Everytime I look at an ETF, I look at the chart and the past few sessions to see where they close. My limit orders never seem to get into them. Should I use a market order? I tend to NEVER use market orders, but then again, I've...

    BIDU - OK what's next for this bad boy 105? 125? 155? 75?

    Saw it on a YHOO finance post. However, cannot find the exact news in my broker account.

    Other private equity companies to look into

    With all of the P.E. buyouts in casino's and such, what is a good way to make an educated guess for a possible P.E. buyout? MGM maybe? Wynn is too expensive... A Goog buyout would be really something neat; no chance though. YHOO is a possibility though.

    Futures Are Up--good Long Day:)

    Yea, I was lucky, I will give you that. I bought the options two weeks ago at .05. After earnings I think they went to .20. I had a sell order at .45, never happened. Surprisingly, I logged into my trading account to adjust my holdings and just removed some of the long options. Logged back...

    Futures Are Up--good Long Day:)

    Not sure what you are talking about on Friday, it was a little crummy, but I was able to make a fair profit on Friday's activity in US markets. Mostly on options though. Nice buying oppertunity on NASDAQ also. I think you are oversold on this doom and gloom. I think you are such a hardcore...

    When will Ford go bankrupt?

    Yea, I know. I cannot believe they are allowing this. The Chineese cars are very small, but very affordable. However, can the averaged size American fit in one? I'm five 10 1/2 @ 216 LBS. I do not know if I would be very comfortable.

    z=(1-x)*(1+y*x)

    Math was never my strong point.. Did OK in stats and cal; but still never used a formula to figure out my loss or risk ratio; and there is a very good reason for this. There is no way to configure what large stock holders do, funds do, terrorists, dollar, market sentiment, etc. If the market...

    Poking at Jim Cramer

    Actually, I bought in on CWTR for the retail holiday season. Bought it at 28.00 was out at 31.00. Bought again at 25.00 yesterday. Small moves work well in stocks like this. Also picked up SKS and DBRN. Made a four point spread on SKS (spec. dividend) and a three point spread on DBRN before...

    Futures Going To Get Killed Tonight!!!

    Poking at Jim Cramer

    That may be true, but for one, I do not think I can move markets like this fool. I mean fool in the way he acts and plays with OPM. He's not stupid by any means though. He is very dangerous and should be thrown off the air. While he may be right as much as the monkey (lol), if you throw...

    When will Ford go bankrupt?

    Nah, merge, trim the fat, kill off the under performing brands. Sell off Jaguar and Range Rover to TM or Audi, they would have a chance. The companies are too big are making cars one that no one really wants, and too many of them at that. It would be more efficient if done correctly. Chances...
