New rule basically says that insiders must disclose transactions totaling >$100,000 within 2 days. It's in effect now and about to be voted on to make permanent. http://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/33-8090.htm

Anybody know the difference between a blonde and a mosquito?

I knew that companies could issue stock but I didn't know that brokers could issue the companys stock as well, and without even an IPO process. Brokers selling shares they don't own is a whole new dynamic (to me). I wonder if they do it with equities like QCOM. They could come up with a huge...

Valinoti squeezed the brokers.

The "higher" calling nowadays for many is to do what's right for THEM rather than what's right. Relativism with no absolutes. Anyone that follows this principle is a HERO to many. It would be dangerous to short this one for very long IMO. . "Toilet paper curtains" LOL

Maybe it was an "in house" deal and your broker bought someone elses shares for 24.10 (what you said your chart ticked down to) rather than yours for 27.18.

I see what you mean. I wouldn't use the words breathtaking though. To me the Rocky Mountains are breathtaking. When I looked at that chart I got more of the feeling I get when I walk out on my front porch and notice that someone's dog has taken a crap on my lawn. I don't want to deal with it and...

That puppy hopped up and down about 20 times between $27.16 and $27.18 (inclusive). Your broker screwed up.

That's easy. You make money. If you don't know how you either face up to it and work at it some more or you make excuses. That "if only...." stuff doesn't cut it in the real world.

The REAL life of a trader. No rags to riches and it can be a real grind. Have to work at it full time to make a living at it (if you're good). There's no such thing as "playing the market in your spare time to make a little extra spending money" and no such thing as striking it rich. Sad but true.

Waxie acts like a farmer with a herd of dairy cows to milk. And the cows actually pay him a couple of hundred dollars a month to boot. Such a deal.

MSO (Martha Stewart Living) went down because she is friends with the IMCL (ImClone) guy, Sam Waksal, who was just arrested on charges of securities fraud and insider trading. She succeeded in selling several hundred thousand shares(recollect) the day before it crashed a few months ago (probably...

Money is money. If it's margin it just means you borrowed it. It's yours until you pay it back.

NewAtThis quote (instinet and island merger thread) "The merger will go through(Instinet and Island). If they let REDI and ARCA merge why not INCA and ISLD? The rates posted earlier are for TAKING liquidity. You get paid for adding it. Adding it is cheaper on the rate as well as that you save...

Bad sentiment and dog kicking are at nosebleeding highs now. "EVERYBODY" says don't do it, don't buy. The Motley Fools were even on TV the other night recommending that people buy CD's, and that people don't mess with this "dangerous" market. All this seems to me to be very bullish, but who knows.

That's funny.:p

Quote by Newathis "The intergral part of the NYSE structure is called Priority, Parity and Precedence. You have price protection. That means Chas that your limit orders can't be printed through." Sounds like pretty sophisticated understanding for someone who is "newatthis". You wouldn't...

Quote "Another: I enter a market short with the bid at 23.93, a 0+, and theres size there. Zip. A one lot prints a penny higher....now I can't get filled at the bid. No other prints. Down goes the bid ("customer cancelled") and I'm the offer (or at least I'm supposed to be).... Coincidence? I...

StdDev "it's not a component, it describes the Bell curve." Not true Here is an equation for a Bell curve. f(x)=y=[1/(S*sqrt(2Pi)]*e^[-0.5*[(x-u)/S]^2] Where u=mean (constant, calculated), locates the center S=StdDev (constant,calculated), determines dispersion e=2.7183 (constant...

The standard deviation is a component of the Bell curve which is used to determine probabilities. It can be used to analyze any data.
