Getting a loan to daytrade with is probably impossible. However, getting cash isn't necessarily difficult. The banks managed to push through Congress a bill that makes it much more difficult for someone to erase their credit card debts by filing bankruptcy. As a result they've been flooding...

Not only that, he committed suicide. As mom always told me, "if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you." :cool:

Hey Pat, not trying to stop you from posting, but is it possible to start a separate journal of your own if you want to post records of your trades? Reason is it gets confusing when two different traders post trades and the reasons behind their trades on the same thread. I'm sure others as...

Great article. Failure does seem to be a common trait among successful entrepreneurs. Even Livermore went broke a number of times early in his career. The question I'm still trying to figure out; is failure the cause of success later or is it the cost of doing business, so to speak? In...

Who you trying to fool? We all know this is your girlfriend. http://www.kioz.com/images/shower.gif :cool:

NVDA is the first company I've managed to overweight my IRA on. Right now I'm hurting as I've been scaling in since about $25-$30. This stock is consistently growing earnings year after year at rates exceeding 50% in some quarters. While I don't expect this to continue at this rate, I do...

Well, call it a hunch but this site turned up something. www.canslim.net

"daliddleguy" First off, thanks for your candid and honest post. It's hard to say you're losing money when it seems all you read are posts about people making money so your honesty is appreciated. One piece of advice I can give may help you because your history sounds similar to mine when...

Heheh... or tell him you're the guy that throws birds into jet engines to make sure they hold together when they're in the air. (An actual job I heard on one of those talk radio episodes.)

From the STC Series 7 study manual: "According to NYSE rules, specialists may never compete with public orders. They can bid higher or offer lower to reduce the spread between a bid and ask on a stock." Yeah, I was laughing when I read this too.

I know some people who work with some of the "instantly recognizable" names. Don't want to mention them as I'd probably get sued for libel but for a couple, the stuff they're into is almost scary. I hardly think "voodoo" is the norm, but it's amazing to think what some people base their...

murray, please don't take this the wrong way but I'm having a hard time understanding your posts, much less deriving some kind of meaning from them. I hope I'm not alone in this.

Just when I think I'm king of the hill, someone comes along and shows me up. My goal is to now trade inebriated (profitably).

FWIW I sent an online request for verification of this alleged rule. Would prefer something in writing as opposed to a phone call. Will post the response once (if) I get it.

By Paul B. Farrell, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:50 AM ET Sept. 7, 2001 LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- So you think you're stupid? Shoulda gone to cash early last year? Too heavy in tech? Caught up in the get-rich-quick-and-retire-early insanity? Now you doubt your skills so much you're...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/766114.asp#BODY That's even less of a slap than Merrill Lynch got. Of course AA is in a lot more trouble in the court of public opinion as many firms have already dropped them. People are still stupid enough to listen to Merrill I guess. Plus the possibility...

Oops! Just saw the recent "Order Execution" forum that this thread would've been more appropriate in. Sorry about that.

I trade direct access but my IRA is with an online broker. According to my broker, market makers have 30 seconds to fill an order even if it trades through the price. At 14:21 today I entered an order to buy NVDA at 27.18 At 14:26 the price trades through 27.18 down to 27.10 Over 50K...
