Is selling only to watch it go WAY higher. (& vice-versa)

In late Decemeber I made a losing trade in a Canadian Equity. Ever since I've had about -1000 CAD "Ending Cash" in my stock cash (CAD). I contacted IB weeks ago about this with no response. What does this mean and WHEN is it going to go away/be exchanged for USD? Is there something I need to...

Shorted earlier at 38.15 Covered today at 36.75 Will buy 100K long on tommorow's open (if the market doesn't bounce before then, although it might).

Once in a blue moon you may spot something on Level II just before a stock takes off, but the vast majority of the time the size and action on Level II mean nothing. You can't stare at Level II and 'follow the size' anymore like you could back in 1998. Level II is only useful in that it gives...

A few years ago chasing Nasdaq stocks was the only game in town, but after 3 crushing years of a bear market, most players got blown out. How many of you are Nasdaq stock traders and how long have you been at it?

NetFlix, sending/receiving DVDs through the mail, is a joke and is doomed to failure when VOD starts putting out New Releases at the same time as the movie stores.... That said, everyone I know has signed up for NetFlix's free trial, and everyone's telling everyone about it these days...

It's about time the SEC went after the talking-heads... I hope to see A LOT more of this in the future... These hypsters and pumpers have been getting away with murder for years.
