    DRYS Long Straddle

    Thanks fellas!!! I might tap your knowledge more in the future. My main focus is trading stocks, but I only trade the opening so I have plently of time to learn new stuff. I really think you learn paper trading as well. And that is what I did on thinkorswim for this trade. I will...

    If the "Trading Tax" is Passed

    They would make the trade tax as complex as the irs tax codes so that we have to hire someone to decipher it all--more jobs created. That would just be another service job created we don't need.

    DRYS Long Straddle

    I know very little about options but have been reading about them and tutorialing for 2 months. I am sick of watching DRYS bounce all over the place and not making money off it and wondered a few things. Say you wanted to construct a Long Straddle on DRYS to take advantage of a stock...

    Question about day trade margin call

    Jack, I am a PDT. And my margin call is for ~22K. Does your above example change since I am a PDT? What would a restricted account do?(ie can I still hold and/or sell off my LT positions if it goes up 30% one day :D ) Also since I am a PDT does the 50% initial margin still apply...

    time & sales/reading the tape

    I usually work a fade the gap or fill the gap strategy and I watch for increased volume at market open. As the stock is continuing its gap up or down the volume will slow down and the spreads will get back to <=.2% Then if I see the T&S are hitting more bids(for a fade the gap) I will...

    Question about day trade margin call

    JackR, Your response is appreciated thanks... I have 25K in long term positions and also 25K in cash. To rehash what I did on Friday... I bought a stock early Friday with my 25K in cash and then sold it within a minute. So I had had the 25K in cash again at 9:31am. Then I shorted...

    Question about day trade margin call

    Wondering if I could get some education here: I got a 'fed call' or margin call today on my Scottrade acct. I did not get a call, I got message when I came back and loggin in just now. I am confused on margin calls and margin. I always have 25,000 in long term positons and the other...

    'No fail' Gm up again

    stock_trad3r, I am not arguing with you here, but don't you feel that you might be doing some readers here a major disservice by telling them to buy this stock as you did in the first post? If you have disposable income to burn and are up for the risk I think you could validate your claim...

    Life without anti-virus ?

    First off if you are real worried about security, you can run a dual boot machine with linux. I run Ubuntu. Second, you do not need an antivirus at all if you know what you are doing. Firewall I agree with, but not AV. If you want to realm the internet dangerously and download shit and...

    IGT just thought I'd throw it out there

    This thing looks like it has a better chance of moving back than anything else for the near term. It is on my watch for Monday am as a short unless the goofy market starts chargin forward.

    Israel is using Force Protection vehicles to roll into Gaza time to buy FRPT

    Haven't thought about this stock for a long time, lol. This stock was the best trade I have ever made...back in early 06 I bought this puppy for $2 when it was on the OTCBB and later sold at $22 for 80K in profit. The mentioning of this stock brought back great memories :) I will always...

    Siri

    Hey I agree with you, but this 100 million a year shit has to stop. They are going to have to learn to live without Stern at some point(whenever Howard retires). His retirement from satellite radio will happen eventually so at some point SIRI will have to deal with the loss of subscribers...

    Siri

    This stock has massive debt so fundamentally it is not a good place to have your money. Furthermore, as people tighten their spending they will cut their subscriptions. I like satellite radio but this company has created too much debt to get out of I think and they pay Stern way too much...
