Just to make sure I get this correctly, so I if wanna be able to buy options today before close and sell them after the open tomorrow and if some of them have to be priced below $1, then I'm pretty much screwed? Is there any way it can be done? Or will I have to stick with those above $1 and a...

You might have to consult with an attorney on this one, but I think you are wrong assuming you have dual citizenship. I'm about to apply for US citizenship and the law seems to be very strict on it, if you are applying for the US citizenship, you automatically agree to give up your other...

I don't use charts to find the plays. I only look at them for some quick additional nuances, but those are not that vital. The only things beside that chart itself that I look at are money flow and volume. Works great for me.

Don't the main direct access brokers have an equivalent of the FDIC insurance? I think TradeStation does. It's put to some limit but certainly covers 25K. Put a nice firewall on your PC and don't freak out :) The things you should worry about is: "What if I accidentally enter a limit in...

First of all, Vlad, not Vald, secondly I'm not running away from anything, it's just a waste of time to respond to a post that indicates the poster will probably not understand it anyway b/c of his myopic perspective. Especially in light of the fact that the question HAS already been answered...

drop the "teach" part and you'll be correct. Some who teach do CAN do and DO do. Why do you all have this need to vent frustration with academia and its inhabitants??? Were it not for them, you'd have no idea what an option is worth etc.

the funny thing is he WAS right :D, for the average Joe, it IS the best strategy AND probably the best time to start. Especially if he picks passively managed tracking funds. If you ask me, I'd say that it actually applies to more than just the average Joe. It probably applies to all joes...

With all due respect, this is utter BS. I'm sorry but if you are getting your knowledge and opinions from Financial Times, then you are best advised to keep them to yourself. :( that's assuming you are capable of comprehending the material in more advanced sources... <i> Investment talent...

The data is out there, it's all available although may be costly. One month of intraday data is about $400 for nonacademic research from NYSE. I saw a study that shows how prices react when a CEO of some company is interviewed on MSNBC. Attention driven buying of small individual investors...

The question is very interesting indeed. Except, that alas, there is really no way to answer it except to simulate a similar change in a laboratory setting. The reason being that so many other things changed and coincided with the PDT rule you will not know whether to attribute anything to PDT...

EXACTLY!!! :D T4A, first of all, thanks for taking the time to put in such a thoughtful post. I hope all the others read it and give it as least some thought. You make excellent points and I dont' think I could have been as eloquent. I agree on the first moment only limitation. I think...

Heheh, same guys :D Sorry, just typing too fast...

You have just become a new proud addition to my "ignore list". How can one be so freaking dumb, I'm baffled. Fuck, and to think that I was gonna finally post here some pleasantly worded concession like: "You know guys, I freaking give up, having seen what has been going on with WMB the last...

Noneone said they were. But lack of randomness does not necessarily lead to the conclusion of overrall inefficiency.

Nope, I'm not ignoring you, it's just that I need to be less fatigued to give decent responses to your posts. 10K into 500K does sound like a big hole. If that was happening all over the place, I'd agree with you. In most cases (especially over the last several years), more often it's the...

Quite a bit, actually. To an ant, the highway surface offers a bumpy ride, to a car, it is very smooth (with some exceptions in southern states I have driven through... :D Still beats Ukrainian roads though...). When proponents of EMH say you can't make any money bla bla bla (with all the...

Wasn't that the whole idea behind PDT??? To prevent morons who shouldn't be daytrading from doing it. Min funds required was just an easy was to accomplish it, as those who are smart will get the money one way or the other. And if someone does have enough money but is dumb, who cares if he...

If they (supposedly with required vet licenses) make those dumb prescriptions etc, what makes you think a self-trained dabbling vet would do better?

Honestly, they won't care. When the rule was put in place, they perfectly knew what riots it could cause (I think they probably expected even more than they saw). What makes you think they will change their minds now? This is how I think they see it: If you have a pet and you think it has...

Not only that, but I assure you, most likely they will make it much more strict, requiring far more than 25K. It's only a matter of time and I don't think it will take long.
