thanks for the lengthy post on TS. it's good, not only for now but for future users, to get posts which objectively analyze things. on the PDT rule - etrade was being lax. ameritrade has something which appears (if your account is under 25k) stating "you have made X daytrades - please click...

ok, i've played around with things for a few days. can't try failover because of this - maybe someone can help? i have: cable, dsl, linksys wireless router/firewall. taking the linksys out is NOT an option. went to do hotbrick, saw that it requires 192.168.1.1 as an admin webpage...

reverse splits have become faves of mo-mo players... see FMDAD for the most recent other one, but there have been a bunch.

if AMD, and papertrading, maybe it was waiting for an uptick? i do NOT know offhand if it's on the SHO list where upticks are waived. check that on nyse.com before thinking that might be the reason.

i've had *zero* problems today. all my executions (naz equities only) have been instant with no hangups.

i'd suggest basketball, because i've got a funky jump shot and can drive the lane reasonably well. oh, you mean spot. nevermind... (actually, i'll try and post a quick idea of decent food places within a 10 minute walk of the hotel, for out of towners. may be able to get to it this weekend).

and without looking, i wondered if RICK had taken off again. it was ,at one point, an 8 bagger. that was over a couple years...but still,an 8 bagger.

yes, greenberg is no longer at TSCM. he's at marketwatch. has been for a couple of years, i believe. and greenberg's methodology has been exactly the same SINCE then and was identical for years, when he was at the san francisco chronicle or on AOL. hasn't changed his method of operation...

wow, i hate having to defend greenberg, BUT... do you have *any* idea how he works? seriously? obviously not. he's given information from people, then he goes and verifies it on his own. the rest of the first paragraph is what i said. shorts establish a position, then give him the...

the fundamentals greenberg cites are, for the most part correct and come to fruition; i believe SBUX is one of his notable exceptions. however, if you go short strictly on greenberg, you can get *crushed*. the best example - LHSP (lernout hauspie). he had this one dead to rights a few...

steve is right - i 99% trade naz stocks, and you don't have to do that on naz...

since there is no "sell short" button - yes, that is what happens.

it will pop up a message similar to "that stock is not available to short sell" or "your order is greater than the total number of shares available". i know when i have to short, i sometimes have to adjust my number wanted based on what they have.

i'm likely to take the train down, as i can spend a little time there, talk to a couple vendors, there's a couple people i'd like to meet (one whom i owe a huge debt of gratitude) and later see some friends who live in the city. i'd only go on sunday....

byrne is STILL nuts. according to auctionbytes, "Those changes - launched with little advance notice - made sellers so hopping mad, it led CEO Patrick Byrne to publicly chastise some of them on the discussion boards and to ban a few indefinitely." changes = looking into classifieds...

thanks vhehn... max - i'd have no problem backing a 47% winner and dissing a 70% winner if mr seventy was getting 1 point on his winners, and 3 points on his losers, while mr forty seven percent was doing the opposite. cramer doesn't do that, unfortunately. i believe, though i didn't do...

well, alan farley knows what he's talking about as well. and are vadym/chris still there? although what they do doesn't translate well to the real money crowd. cooper's done a tremendous amount of good published research from the technical end, though idon't know how anyone can make...

hanging's got it right; cramer's picks (for a short term player) aren't as predictable to trade any more. what used to happen - initially - buy when he mentions, you make money. then what happened (which i used to do) - short some a bit after he mentiones, short some in pre-mkt next...
