    Anyone heard of these brokers "Internation Brokers" based in Belize

    Yeah I wasn't planning on forking over any money unless people here can vouch for them. It does feel a bit scammy but I guess all off shore brokers would be hard to trust given their location though. But the sketchy location brings about other benefits such as no regulation. At least they...

    Anyone heard of these brokers "Internation Brokers" based in Belize

    Found these guys: http://ibworldwide.com/ Not sure if they are legit or not. Anyone vouch for them? Apparently founded by the creators of Broad Street Trading. Not sure I'd trust my money going to Belize. I'm looking for a broker that offers 10-1 leverage for US equities holding...

    Is it illegal to post short calls on my blog?

    Hi Folks, I recently started a blog where I analyze companies and post my trades. I bet both long and short. My question is whether it is against SEC rules to suggest my readers to short a particular company. I list detailed entries and exits and fundamentals reasons why the company is crap...

    multiple closing targets in IB?

    What the guy above me says works. However, in his example the "downside" is that during a gap up overnight all 5 trades might trigger simultaneously triggering 5 different trades thus 5 different commissions. To protect against this you can add a condition to the sell limits. For example sell...

    Where can I advertise my stock plays?

    Hey folks, I recently started a website where I post my detailed stock analysis and plays both long and short. I do fundamental research and combine that with precise technical entries. I believe my plays are worth sharing since many have panned out quite nicely. So far the only place I...

    Where can I find financial statements spanning more than 5 periods

    Hello, A few days ago Smartmoney.com killed their financial statement feeds which allowed one to download into excel 15 quarters and a decade of annual data. Now they only have 5 quarters and 5 years. Does anyone know where else I could find historical financial statements for free or...

    Trading around 500K daily with 30K account

    Kind of a side note question but related to the intraday liquidation. How does IB choose which stocks they will liquidate you on? Like say you are long 5 stocks for $20,000 each so 100k total. and you need to reduce that to $90,000. Do they just liquidate $10,000 any random stock, or do they...

    Will AAPL Be the First Tirllion Dollar Company?

    Saudi Aramco is said to be worth between 700b and 2 trillion. So technically aapl probably won't be the first.

    Interactive Brokers Question

    In the above scenario, you guys said you'd be paying interest on only 5k borrowed. (the amount over 25k) Are you sure this is correct in a margin account? I'm not sure of this but in a margin account are you not always borrowing 50%. So if you have 25k dollars and your stock positions are...

    Biggest losers should be biggest gainers in Jan

    Care to elaborate on why you think it will outperform. You also seem pretty convinced it will be an up first couple of weeks, what happens if the market sells off the first couple of week, will these stocks still outperform or do worse you think?

    Can you screen stocks in the past?

    I created an excel spreadsheet that can do this. at the moment I can only go 10 years into the past but if i get a hold of annual financial statements going back further i can easily get the ratios for any year. however my program isn't a screener per se, you would have to input the stock ticket...
