    On Elite Trader, what is a penny stock?

    Magna: Thank you very much for your explicit, definitive answer. I will follow your standards **religiously**. (However, if I screw up and post a message about a "penny stock", please be gentle because, as I wrote in my son's lesson plan: "It is very important to know the names of these...

    AMEX Has Been Acquired

    Gee, thanks for piquing my curiosity and then leaving me wondering. What do you mean by "thieves slip quietly into the night under different names "? Please explain (because I think that you and I might share a common perspective).

    AMEX Has Been Acquired

    If I interpret your reply correctly, you are looking at the deal from NYSE Euronext's perspective (i.e. "deal pays for itself and then some"). Am I right to assume, then, that from the perspective of AMEX's owners, they got screwed?

    On Elite Trader, what is a penny stock?

    The description for this "Stocks" forum states: "Discuss specifc companies listed on the major exchanges. No penny stocks!" I'm teaching my 15-year-old son about investing on the stock markets. In one lesson plan, I wrote, "penny stocks, which have a share price under $2.00 (or under $5.00...

    Will the low from Friday 10/10 hold?

    The wildcard in the question "Will the low from Friday 10/10 hold?" is Warren Buffett's recent statement: "Time is right to jump back into stocks". If Obama wins the election, Buffett may get a position in Obama's cabinet. In that case, stocks **must** go up, or Buffett (and Obama) will look...

    Prague Stock Exchange--Roots

    Modern-day trading on the Prague Stock Exchange began in 1993, but if you search on the Internet, you’ll find almost no details about the first 10 years of its history. Over 1700 companies were originally listed on the Prague Stock Exchange. From my perspective (I invested quite heavily...

    Cygnus E Transactions (CYGT) and Sykes/Cilantro Demise

    I recently had a very unpleasant encounter with the foul-mouthed young man. After I discovered severe corruption at Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, I wrote a fully documented message detailing the allegations, which I posted on Timothy Syke’s website. In a very...
