rebecca something. first, she puts up ATVI as "up 57%, at 25.43!" of course, it's a 100 shares trade that will be busted because it was erroneous. i got some short off that (someone thinking they're getting a great deal on ATVI). it's in barron's daily trader, but i should be ok...

well, i have no intention of leaving IB. they've been great to me on most things. however, this does mean they will be taking less of my trades. c'est la vie.

some of the older books talking about trading (confessions by brutus is one i'm thinking about, from 1972/1973, but darvas as well) cite those reasons for trading more expensive stocks. basically, your cost would be based on number of shares traded, so don't go for a cheap stock but go for...

if you trade cheapies like me, the commission cap goes up. 50c stock * .2% = .001/share so, 1000 shares = $1. 5000 shares = $5, 10000 shares = $10 the new way, 1000 shares = 2.50, 10000 shares = $25.

i stopped posting on ebay a couple years ago when fees were going high, ebay was slowly eliminating reserach to determine who scam sellers/bidders were and paypal was becoming unsafe for bidders AND sellers. well, it's gotten lots worse there now. the pure numbers of items is large, but if...

penson's short list is nowhere near the best in the industry. i'm not bashing you, giles, just wanted to point it out for others. you'll do much better getting shares at places which don't clear through penson than those which do. unfortunately, many folks do use penson...

the only thing i found was this: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-nyse-nms0302mar02,0,7658745.story?coll=ny-region-apnewyork NYSE asks SEC for delay in part of Reg NMS stock trading regulations March 2, 2007, 4:03 PM EST i'm guessing that's not what you mean?

still screwed up. i'm not adding trades for today.

talked with RT tech this morning. stocks between D and R were affected yesterday. they don't know if they will try and restore yesterday's data for those stocks, and are trying to maintain normal stuff for today.

sam - this was true in some, but not all, cases. some times, i would have a flashing alert saying "you requested to borrow stock ZZZ we located shares and it is available at YYY interest rate". i just like having my TWS have as little unnecessary stuff open on it; now, i have to move all...

this is one of the first changes IB has made which i'm not thrilled with; i much preferred the other way.

as someone who trades almost exclusively naz and amex stocks (exc. today, when i traded SVN)... what new fees? thanks.

just letting ppl know that RT has charting problems (not on all stocks, just some). i called, they're aware of the problem and working on it...

a little off, so i'll clarify. he DID say to take a little money off the table. however, what he started to say after the fact was that he called the top and told people to get out of it all (or something very close) - which was complete b.s. it was in these pieces...

semi - as of last november, his 5 year performance on action alerts (his premium services, which he always refers ppl to on his show - "sell this, buy this which is part of my action alerts portfolio" was roughly 24%. the s&p performance over the same time was roughly 22%. if you search...

well, buy high sell higher (on non-big caps) has worked well. now, if you took cramer's picks, you were basically treading water with the s&p. but i didn't reply to defend cramer's picks, just the buy high / sell higher part. i haven't watched the show because he's no longer giving me...

umm, chood... buy high, sell higher DOES work. it works better for individuals than funds, because individuals will only buy a few hundred-thousand of a stock, and can get in / out quickly without moving the market. and as long as you have stops, and just buy strong stocks on pullbacks...

i just saw on cnbc where toll said something like "the suburbs aren't good, but the exurbs outside of new york city - like dutchess county - we're selling at record highs" and some other stuff. well, that's not true at all. i know a real estate agent of 20 years, things aren't good. a bunch...

there's two things i'm trying to do in realtick. i've gone to their forums, but there isn't a lot of activity on there, and hope someone here can help. first - i wanted to do an (offset?) moving average to predict where a moving average will be in the future. for example: if the price...

thanks for the reply, don.... yeah, i wasn't meaning overstock specifically (because the stock's action has been positive), just that was the first one which popped in my head as a stock which has been shorted to the hills for a real long time...
