    PDT (pattern day trading) rule is UNAMERICAN

    Why aren't the retail firms fighting to repeal the PDT rule?

    at least a more reasonable 10K or whatever would be a huge improvement over the current prohibitive 25K, agree... the rule was supposed to "protect" brokers, instead it just put many out of business as commish revenue went down the tubes.. it would be nice to understand more about it and...

    He's Baaaaack - Arnold Runs!

    the good story is, the voters are bold enough to recall someone they don't believe is doing a good job, vs letting the status quo cost them etc... lets hope other states, countries, whatever... continue to question their politicians and replace them when needed, vs setting for poor...

    Trading Times -- When do you trade?

    fwiw I like 9:40-10:30 am best, rarely 10:30-11am and that's it. no trading after 11am unless a rare 2-day high/low continuation rally/selloff day. for the other 95% of the time, it's all first-hour trading.. "Prime time" = Tue/Wed/Thur 9:40am-10:30am I also take day-of-week into account...
