    true or false?

    " Recent research has shown the empirical evidence for globalization of corporate innovation is very limited. And as a corollary, the market for technologies is shrinking. As a world leader, it is important for America to provide systematic research grants for our scientists. I believe there...

    why "cash buyers" in housing

    This may not completely apply to what you are asking, but a lot of times house flippers buy all cash. Transactions are faster, there is no primary residence requirement, and they can purchase physically distressed properties that might not get loan approval. Also, if they have the cash they...

    PDT Restriction (Pattern Day Trader FLag)

    I used to daytrade in a small IB account and was always monitoring how many daytrades I had made. If I recall, it works like this: It is a rolling 5 day period; sort of like how a moving average works (it's not averaging, though. just counting trades). So like you said, a trade Monday, a...

    Trader P/L 2013

    I probably should have done my normal thing and not trade on the day before a holiday weekend. -14 Net What a disappointing week this has been. It was a terrible finish to the month for me. I was net positive for the month prior to this week and am now negative for March. I am...

    Trader P/L 2013

    It was looking to be a pretty good day in the early morning and then the market turned over. All of my profits evaporated. I wasn't able to get anything going after that. -17 net

    T3 charging $10 a 1000 shares is this for real

    Does anyone else have any feedback on T3? I've called them three times this month. Three times they have taken down my information, told me I would receive a call back, and I have never heard from them. I take that to be a very bad sign if that is what their customer service is like.

    Prop Firms in Los Angeles

    WTS has an LA office? I think CY Group has an office in LA. I don't think they require a license, so it might be one of those prop models that is sketchy from a legal standpoint. I'm not positive about that, though.

    I'm glad to be barely positive. This could have been a pretty rough day for me. I think going to the dentist this morning kept me out of some choppy trades. +1 net

    I don't like FOMC days, so I'll just take my profit and be done. I have to go into the office anyways, so it works out well. +14 net

    VIX as a stock?

    I think the VXX might be what you are looking for. I don't think it is EXACTLY like the VIX, but it is close.

    Way to achieve highest leverage (without risk of being washed out)

    You can buy a house with a FHA loan requiring only 3.5% downpayment. That's only $17,500 for a $500,000 house. You'll get over 28x leverage. You'll have mortgage payments, but as long as you pay them you will not "wash out" and can keep your position no matter how hard it gets hit. Sit on it...

    Trader P/L 2013

    I'm not liking the action, so I'm shutting it down. I got caught in a couple of u-turns. I missed the boat on a couple of good trades after that. And I'm not talking about CCL :D . It was still a good week for me. -19
