I've been trading for nine months and have spent 11K on brokers fees with e-trade. I've done some research myself and come up with interactive brokers as an alternative. If you've taken the time to read this and don't mind taking another minute to respond, can you please suggest a low fee...

cash only is right, u need to hit all three: eps revs outlook if u miss outlook, expect 10% drop. if u miss revs or eps, easily can drop 5%. but if u miss revs, but eps and outlook are up, stock can go up also. i say it is a flim flam because the CEO can say whatever he likes...

its all a flim flam. i have realized u can only play companies that trade after hours with high volume. i.e. fslr, wfc, aapl, csco, and so on. thus the gapping thing dos not come into play. let the news hit and watch the price action.

gonna play: 200 - stan 300 - exr market on close

i mean, why not? C back at 60 AAPL at 200 GE at 40 GM at 42 GOOG at 750 and then maybe we can buy a studio in NY for 800k and grab a gallon of gas for $4.50 what is everyone thinking??? this is insane. it was insane 18 months ago when people were getting loans with 600 credit...

a depression is defined as negative growth. we are in negative growth, so where is the depression. funny thing is i am not scared of a depression. gonna make everything affordable again. let deflation really get started. only people who benefit from a boom are already rich people, i am...

i looked up the definition of a depression, and it seems like we are in one. i am surprised they could shrug the GDP number off so easy. i hope business owners are preparing properly, this thing is clearly getting ugly this is the definition: In economics, a depression is a sustained, long...

not sure if everyone knows, but listened to the fdic chairwoman on tues. all bankrupt banks close on friday, the FDIC comes in on that afternoon and takes over, the bank is sold and re-opens monday. report i heard is, no-body wants this bank. also citizens comunity bank FOLDED u are...

number 30 of the year. 1.3 billion. lets see them ignore that. let the selling begin.

i'm not saying dont invest..... but what you are saying is true, and there is now copitulation from the BEARS and it now seems as though the economy wont fail, but that is EXACTLY how it felt we were at 700 seemed like. except it was the bears in control and no hope of going up, and then...

yeah, fdo - dollar stores

see... i was right, they missed on revs. but beat eps and guided higher so stock up a bit. all they needed was a mediocre guidance and boom $3 loss. wait, this one will go down, like WMT. anyway, tradinman - there is an interesting thing i discovered. the retail stocks report sales...

shorted it at $7.82. if u followed it then u would know it went up strongish, dropped to about $7.70 then slowly pushed up. on the slowly pushed up it shook me out at $7.96. i was also in MOS at 42.99 (short) so after that i did not really follow it. i think it then slowly headed down to...

i'm a newbie, but i would think its in the millions. i mean why else would u see ads for trading accounts on every channel of tv 10 times an hour?? on a side note, what is the number one "live" spectator sport in the world? the answer....

brandon. that is a good play. i guess.... i mean your killing it, but why would u be long AZO from 133??? what was your reasoning? u bought it before earnings? i would guess. there was a thread about AZO earnings, a while back. this is a strong stock, in hindsight. i mean it is...

i know how u feel!! i read every post in this thread. from a trading perspective the non-shorts are obviously correct, but from an emotional and reality perspective, i agree 100% this stock is garbage, and yet it is going up. look at wal-mart. that is a great company and it is getting...

sorry to interrupt, but i am super intrigued by this situation. it seems that both of these etfs will eventually hit 0. i know we cant short them, so how can we make money off of these etfs? this seems like a huge opportunity. is there some rule that when the price gets to a certain level...

erik, thanks for taking time to answer. u are exactly right. i agree 100% and i know exactly what you are saying. the reason why it went up 17% when it should have gone down. is clearer than clear. at 12:30, 2 hrs after the big move, they posted a news story that the "f*ed" up...

hey erik, i read your post everyday. your insight is very valuable. i have been trading for only 3 months. i have been trading earnings. i had originally bought GUESS (GES) long at $15.64. the report came out and stock shot up to 16.20. i was going to sell, but then the forecast came out...
