Just saw news about no federal budget being given. Discuss Seems pretty shocking for this to happen especially before an election.

How would he use this to promote that legislation?

wow it has dropped 7% vs the yen in 2 days . I am amazed how little this is being talked about, the move is huge. Anyone looking at buying soon?

its tough to say the seller "freely chose" to sell at that price since a market order was placed and there should be some expectation to get a reasonable fill. You cant say 20 cents is reasonable at all. I agree with one of the other posters that they do need a new system instead of just busting...

What would happen if you did not have an account that was legally allowed to short stock. If you bought it and sold it and the one gets busted would you still have a short position though legally you are not allowed to have one?

Wow that is pretty brutal OP but you got no real case since the price was just so out of whack. We arent talking about prices just from a crash but ones that are clearly wrong and a mistake.

doesnt that just mean you were just short the eur/usd? (assuming same dollar values)

wow the markets just went insane with a massive move towards the yen. Your trade should of cleared since the euro spiked down massive along with the pound.

so what level of a pull back do people expect? I wonder when a similar type of problem will show up in the USA as a result of various states. I think i would prefer to own euros though since they seem much less likely to be printed just to pay off government debts as opposed to the united states...

is anyone who is short worried about a violent spike up? I would be nervous holding over the weekend since it seems to be the biggest short going right now and i don't even know who is buying right now.

where did you get this from? I just finished my taxes a few weeks ago and my tax accountant had me report them. I had to just convert the purchase price and sale price of the stock from US to canadian. The annoying thing however though was the conversion price was not done based on your specific...

Piigs represent countries that have significant financial problems in the EU, either high debt or deficit levels or both generally. Greece cannot print money to get out of debt because they are part of the euro and have therefore given up its ability to print money or see a devaluation of its...

mind sharing your logic for that? is it based on technicals or is it related to fundamental news? There seems to be a lot of problems with the euro that could push it down a lot further from here. Greek spreads are expanding rapidly and beyond that other nations problems and German unhappiness...

I have a finance degree and the above quote is very true. If your actually interested in finance you will learn a lot more by reading then from the university classes.

Through IB you could day trade canadian stocks with under 25k, I have. i believe the restriction is set up for trading on various exchanges in certain countries. By this i mean the US government has the rule for US exchanges and American markets.

canadian listed stocks do not have the PDT rule and I also would assume you are still subject to it as long as your trading american stocks even from canadian account.

I tried solving this and i get the same idea as the above quote. can someone please explain to me how the above does not disprove this whole thing?

I agree with you that major economic problems are very likely and will change how various major economies operate. however, I do not feel like this type of shift will lead to the level of social unrest where guns and food are key like some people seem to believe.

I will agree they are a great firm and the only problem I have ever really had is with my charts randomly disconnecting but otherwise I feel very safe having money there.
