Looks like he's trying to dissuade people from daytrading his picks now. Someone wrote in complaining about how, I think, CSCO had gone down $.50 a day after Cramer's buy recommendation. Cramer responded that his recommendations are for stocks that he believes will go up during the second half...

If Milberg were public, I bet they'd be suing themselves right now. From today's WSJ:

Level II is useful to me when the size at the NBBO is smaller than what I need. Some Nasdaq stocks I trade are only showing 100 or 200 at the NBBO nowadays, and if I'm trying to unload 500 or 1000 I want to look a few cents deeper to see if the size is there. I should probably just switch to a...

Have you found a broker that exempts options from the PDT rule?

I occasionally get price improvement at Ameritrade (2 of my last 6 purchases of SPY options.)

Now there's a culture clash. Scottrade built its reputation on serving small and/or infrequent traders. They have low commissions, fees, and minimums. E*Trade has pretty high commissions, especially for non-active traders, and an assortment of fees (they did away with the annoying...

briefing.com had this: 13:57 LU Lucent chatter (3.08 +0.11) We are hearing a rumor that ALA may make a bid for LU. Initial feedback is that this is unlikely, but we're passing it along since the stock is strong today, and it's making the rounds.

The banks are pretty adept at spotting fraudulent activity. My corporate card info was swiped from a major Internet electronics retailer and used to make a $7 purchase overseas in December 2000. The bank called me to ask if I had made the purchase, but in fact they'd already cancelled the...

No - I was just going by what the posting on Yahoo said.

I've been looking at that, too. As for memory, it depends which apps you run - I'd get at least 512M, as my trading involves using several java apps that can grow to 80M each. Run task manager on your present system and tally how much memory your processes use. Several people I know have...

Well, if you closed your account, I expect that it won't let you sign on. What were the symptoms before you closed your account?

Around 16:44, MLNM bids jumped up to 8.60 (it closed at 8.27). Cramer touted MLNM on his show at 18:08, and it shot up some more, to as high as 9.49. Someone on the MLNM Yahoo board posted the reason: he/she said people who call in to the show at 4PM get to listen to it while it's being...

I'll also ask this on a Verizon Wireless forum, but I figured people here are more likely than most to be using Verizon's Broadband Access wireless service... I'd like to get this service, which requires use of a PCMCIA EV-DO card, so that I can trade while visiting my family, but I'd like to...

This is true, but for less than $100 more they'll extend it to 2 years' worth of on-site service. I got a 4700 with 3GHz, 1GB, the half-decent external video card, and a 2-year warranty for around $800. Fast enough for everything (except IB charting. :)) As to the original poster's problem...

$8.99 + $1.50/contract, plus a monthly software fee, is a little on the expensive side. How good are the fills? If you want to hit the NBBO, will they send your order to an exchange that's at the NBBO?

Which system did they change over and over? Are you saying the periodic new TWS releases were what was screwing you up?

Also might want to look at troubleshooter.com. They have a consumer help line, and if your story is interesting it may be addressed on the host's radio show. A bank that won't tell you where a fradulent wire out of your account went is right up their alley, I think.

If you buy stocks, which settle at T+3, do they charge you 3 days' worth of interest?

Will Fidelity let you route to the Boston exchage? Do you ever get price improvement?

I bought some front-month SPY puts on Monday, and am surprised at how much they're dropping in value even though the market is declining each day. Yesterday morning, when SPY was at 119.27, the June 121 P was 2.45x2.50. Today, at the same point, the put is 2.35x2.40, and at 119.31 the put...
