Haha, yeah ... see my earlier post on page 3 or so. :P

Lol. I didn't exactly look too closely at his performance, so I guess I was just saying good job based on what he was ranting about :) Well, whoever he is, he is certainly BlueStreek's evil twin XD

lol ... I don't trade futures, but I think this thread is hilarious. Good job mini :)

Another interesting note is that yesterday, the stock closed just below $48, but intraday trading actually was down below even $47.50. The ADX indicator shows a strengthening downward trend, but I'm thinking that the $48 price mark is a support. Again, I'm pretty amateur, so I'm just doing...

I made a small profit on this stock a few months ago, and I've been keeping a steady eye on it. It seems to be in an uptrend, and it's currently recovering from a heavy drop in price. Based on past performance, and my (very amateur) technical analysis, I would guess this stock is headed back up...

Good point. Closest one would probably 1920 x 1200

The price on that thing really came down! I remember when that thing used to cost about $3k! Dell has awesome monitors, but the original price on that thing was just ungodly. And yeah, just to reaffirm what the guy above me said ... it needs to be run in its native resolution. Use the...

Hmmm, that would explain it, thanks. Do most other brokers have this same policy? EDIT: Would have been convenient if they mentioned something about the margin account in the error message. IIRC, they didn't.

Okay, so I finally went to sign up for an IB account yesterday, ran through most of the application, and encountered an age limit error. You have to be 21 in order to sign up with them? Ridiculous ... Anyone know of a way around this? I shot their support department an e-mail yesterday...

no.

Thank you, MTE

I was just doing some research on options, and noticed the ETFs seem to have strike prices that increment by $1 instead of $2.50. I guess I would probably need to understand ETFs better in order to understand why this is, but does anyone have a quick answer?

yeah ... exactly

Oh ok, didn't realize it was that simple. Thanks for the clarification. Regardless, $.10 isn't exactly that much ...

What is a canceled option?

Do you have any book recommendations or other areas I could learn? At the moment, I'm going off of what I can find on various websites such as MorningStar.com and Investopedia.com. Both those sites and others have been most helpful to me while learning about the stock market. @Linda...

The money got me into it ... I realize that long-term, I need a lot more than a job and a savings account in order to retire. I think eventually, I could see myself becoming a full-time trader, but only once I establish my trading strategies and am to the point where my trading account turns...

I would just set an all or nothing limit order near the market price if you're concerned about immediate execution.
