Nope, just a former airline employee. We started as a local, moved to a regional and made it to national. Then reality hit, and management was totally incompetent and didn't make any chages until way too late and those changes were not anywhere close to what was needed as well as a marketing...

As someone who has worked for an airline for quite a few years, I have to comment. Other than Southwest, every airline sold a phony story on what it costs to fly. Southwest is very good, yet people whine they don't get a steak, or seafood, or 1st class seating. All that crap costs money, mostly...

That's the one I would guess. I connect and offer a different situation each time. Last time I was a detective investigating a murder and the last call was a threating call from them. Other times please help me I am in debt and I need your help. Then I try talking them personally into sending me...

Hey all you computer geniuses here on Elite, want to work together to make whatever company is behind these annoyance calls from credit card services? I would love to clog their phone lines, slam their personal email addresses, etc, but how do we do that? I think it is time to fight fire with...

Hell, let's get it going! I just inherited a bunch of dimes, quarters, silver dollars from 1917 on and would love to cash them in for more. So on that note, I heard a rumour that there is no more silver to mine, and, and people are hoarding it, and yea, yea that it should be at least $100. I...

LOL, too funny, as that is the site I lecture my kids to use at least weekly. My goal with my youngest is to set up a plan over the summer to get him up to speed where I know I was at his age, but he is not. I will say I will not be the most popular parent in the house, but oh well. My oldest...

Cripes, forgot about using log. Thank you, and log is part of the lesson he is working on and I completely ignored it as a way to the answer. Man, maybe I have been out of school too long and using calculators and computers to do stuff I used to manually without a thought. Thanks

Simple, but I am not explaining right or something. Prob= $400, 7%, the problem also says the amount would double every 9.9 years(which I think is off by a bit. I figure it as over 10 years, but this is what was given). One part of the question asks how long would it take to have $1800. I...

I have an idea for an app, but I have no programming skill in that area, and a very basic skill level overall. Any idea of reputable people to work with for an idea? Also what would be a best way to search to see if it all ready exists? Just go through the various app markets? Do people normally...

I have to wonder who the hell buys AAPL products? I seem to see a Europe that is in deep crap, but yet somehow there is a market for tech like AAPL. AAPL products are priced on the high end. We have debt through the roof in the US, especially student debt, which was the largest componenet of the...

I am starting to work into a position a little at a time for the announcement. AAPL traders love to pump the day of, even though the idea has been out there for a month or two more. Earnings are the same with AAPL. My worry is things may change without Steve Jobs. I will have to adjust, but...

Look up Major Ed Dames. There was a movie about it also with George Clooney and I forget who else. Very entertaining movie, and the best was The Art Bell show that had Dames on regularly. I guess who really knows, but to me it was pure entertainment and when I was at work at 4 am it kept awake...

I agree, no excuse anymore, but until someone big enough makes a stink we are stuck knowing the current rules. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find the info you should know, or read an example of someone who got shafted to find out the oddities.

I know they don't trade, but settlement isn't until Saturday. You do have the ability to advise the broker if you do or do not want to exercise. I am not arguing that it is fair and it does seem like a license to steal, and in the tech age there really should be no reason for the Saturday settle...

Why not keep open an old thread. I think options quit trading on Friday, but arenot actually settled until Saturday and this does leave you open to the price change of a stock in the after market.

Just missed a fill on my current pet. This makes me work harder to find another pet. I went 8 days before I started missing fills. Missed one yesterday too. Feeling works for me, and if I am starting to miss my targets, I have to debate strategy and plan. Adjustment time, or overacting?

I will add I get 10 days is not a year or 10. THe idea being that it can be a year or more worth of returns. At this point I have to look at more critically the value of pushing. I have a good return on this account now, and to push furtheer with no thought would be foolish. Part of what I enjoy...

Thanks for the input! I am on day 10 of making money on AAPL options. I only type this so I realize I am an idiot and not a genius. It won't last, but for goodness sakes I have to love this stock. It is trading pure for me if that makes sense. I have technical analysis up my charts, but am using...

Sorry, I mistated what I meant. I meant a better range, not fills. I've never had a problem with fills on the SPY or QQQ. I like the range that has been available in AAPL, and would like to find a couple more with good volume and range. Thanks for catching that.

Call and ask to have the charge taken off. This is a game and if you don't ask you lose. If you have been on time previously they will take it off immediately. It's money and if you trade you know there is no reason to sacrifice $1 to anyone else beyond what you planned. I have gotten At&t to...
