yes, stocks which are mentioned on mad money (and to a lesser extent fast money) often are much more volatile. see OREX a couple days ago, mentioned on fast money. if it's a big stock - ie. IBM, CSCO, etc. - this effect is minimal to none. but a lesser-known stock can often experience...

anyone watch his video with jeff cooper? have any thoughts on his performance, track record, etc.?

i just signed up with them. not as fast as direct access, but good for what it is. as long as your trades are below 5000 shares, i don't think there are extra fees.

knows how to lose you money is what you meant to say.

i use hottrend regularly. it has been up and down on realtick for the last few months; it's been down the past 2 days, i called realtick about it today, they said they're not going to have it (it's being discontinued,phased out or something) and they hope to have something to replace it, time...

remarkably good article with common-sense solutions.

i'm looking for these materials, preferably in e-book format. mcgraw-hill was supposed to re-publish them a few years ago, but pulled the plug on both of them. anyone have any leads? thanks.

ok. i've got 10k of a cheap stock i want to sell. the price is .76 * .77. lots to buy at .76, not so much below there. i place an order to sell 10k @ .76. my order is *shown* at something like .7603, which doesn't hit the bid. i wait. i get frustrated, cancel, and see the .7603 offer...

i've learned bits and pieces from a lot of places - some books and videos, some were new ideas, some were just new to me. but most took hold when i could 'see' them happening in the market. i've learned stuff from fellow traders, none of whom are considered gurus or anything like that. but...

i saw that when it happened...a better comment by the guest would have been that they don't listen to cnbc because they don't want to be influenced by others...

i *have* an IB account. i trade on it frequently. i "have" a TD account - have, as in i withdrew most of my funds from it. i think there's $100 still in it, most likely less. i haven't traded on their platform in months. i had some extra charges on TD. no biggie. what WAS a big deal...

means money from a transaction isn't in your account until settlement - 3 days later. look up "PDT rule" for more information. on the 25k minimum.

ignoring the interest part... you can hold a short as long as you want, as long as your lending house does not require you to buy it back in. this sometimes happens on stocks with a high short interest, usually 20% or higher. the $5 part is irrelevant. some brokers (esp. those which...

few random thoughts... i don't look generally look for validation (i've told one person i'm helping that it doesn't matter if people believe how i'm doing), but one of the best feelings i had was the support and respect i got from traders (whom i still get together with, 9 years later)...

surdo - madoff, the funds of funds who invested with him, the reporters, or all of the above? heh.

9+ years fulltime equities. do *not* take on clients, though i've been asked a fair number of times by family, friends, people i run into, etc. well, first, i'm not trading big enough that having clients is worth it. but other reasons why i don't: -> don't want added mental pressure. if...

if a person put money in the bank over the past 6 years, they made money. if a person put money in cramer the past 6 years, they lost money. AND they had to pay a couple thousand dollars for the privilege. how is this difficult to understand?

ok, numbers. cramer, so called-guru... action alerts portfolio - down more than 35% this year, down overall since its inception 6 years ago. maybe you should listen to someone who...oh, i don't know - actually successfully trades the markets? p.s: cramer's successful ways of trading...

and the unfortunate part..both arthur leavitt and harvey pitt were out talking over the past couple days; leavitt said that there were so many obvious red flags, pitt said it's unfathomable it could have gone on so long without anyone knowing. i don't have to provide the unfortunate punch line.
