small float, security sector is hot (and they received orders last month), momo begetting more momo, shorts likely have piled on in the last couple weeks (i had 3 weeks ago, got stopped out a point up, and couldn't get more shares) that's it.

well, it's not a tour, and this information is 3 years old... you go through a metal detector, up an elevator, and in an area that overlooks the floor. you could pick up a phone and hear the noise on the floor, but when i was there, all the phones were broken. there's a little history of...

bubbles don't end quietly, but in explosions. kbh broke out beautifully. no top in housing stocks yet. i'm long kbh calls.

i didn't have any other anecdotes from ny times back issues. i didn't check his stuff before 1930, as i figure that any iimportant things would be (indirectly) in reminscences... unfortunately, the access i have to the wsj online only goes back to 1984...

cutten, wheat trader... http://wampumkeeper.com/keeper/cutten.asp

a few articles of his ex-wife shooting his son, and his hospital recovery. i think one mentioned the robbery at his great neck home. in 1933, he and durant were supposedly very bullish on stocks. declared bankruptcy in 1934, and was suspended from cbot. 1936, supposedly active...

i read a couple books / articles on livermore after his reminiscences days. one of them was written in the last few years - by smitten, perhaps? anyhow...a fair chunk of his money was just given outright to his (former) wife and children. a large amount was spent on his lifestyle / new...

check the local libraries (city and college). if they belong to worldcat / OCLC, you can request books from across the country. i've found many financial books that aren't super duper rare there...

oh, also, IB updates their list every morning between 730 and 750. i've heard they update stuff during the day; i've only once found where a stock i could short in the a.m. wasn't shortable in the pm, and never the reverse.

IB was mentioned already, so you can check them up on your own. tradestation claims to have shares of stocks down to $3. cybertrader claims to have shares at any price; not on the super-hard-to-get stocks, of course. if you generate enough commissions for your direct access...

what happened here is that the virus scanners couldn't (before this past week) scan zipped files properly for viruses. so, zip the file! however, most people wouldn't know to unzip it or what to use...so putting the password in there implies it's 'real' and bypasses the scanner. i've...

i believe that stocks, over the 'long' haul, actually lose money far more than make. check out the big stocks of 100 years ago. many of them became virtually worthless, or were bought by other companies and became virtually worthless. that of course should have no influence on buying...

same thing here, on options and stocks...

a couple years ago, the WSJ ran a piece on how NITE would be able to make guaranteed coin each morning because it would match up hits buy and sell orders (that were sent to it from ameritrade, etrade, etc.), frontrun these orders in the pre-market, then sell/ buy to their customers, and...

i met someone who, as part of his portfolio trades contra-cramer with provisions. those are, roughly, only trade contra-cramer when he's foaming at the mouth. much of the other time, he flip flops or puts out so many individual recommendations it's impossible to make money except in...

since i trade mainly nasdaq, i'm not grinding axes... but since you saw fit to comment - what DON'T you find hypocritical about that? (the naz cries about the nyse trying to keep 'its' companies solely listed on the big board).

and i trade 95% naz stocks... "if you are in the nas 100, you can't list elsewhere". http://www.nypost.com/business/18400.htm

(cue elderly impersonation) but TASR, damn it, TASR! ah, forget it. i'm outta here. (end impersonation).

only if it's closing a short position, and then it can only be done via telephone.

went with a friend of mine to the nyc show on sunday; he'd never been before, and trades as secondary income to a day job. so he presented a first-time view, whereas mine is compared to the past couple shows. "i didn't expect things to be so calm here," he said. true...the atmosphere, at...
