I wanted to clarify just in case.... IB has arrived in Canada, but they only allow trading to US (and other exchanges IB routes to such as HK, Germany, etc.) but they still do not allow trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Montreal SE. Thanks for your help!

Well this trade hasn't provided any real coin yet but is that a head and shoulder I see? I'm holding a bit longer as per the original intention. Korea Fund (KF:NYSE) Any ideas? Comments welcome.

Is that an attempt to be a smart aleck or do you have something of value to add?

Equity Securities Trust I (XCT) is a convertible preferred security created by ATT to monetize its equity stake in Cablevision (CVC) and automatically converts into CVC shares on Nov. 15 2004. XCT has a dividend of $2.3432/share, which comes to around 11% now. So how about being long SCT and...

IB just distributed their new communique out today. Among other things it explains the 4:1 margin that def mentioned a while back. But of more importance the survey includes a slot for Canadian equities and derivatives. I would like to request that you (even if you're not a Canadian) please...

Major KACHINGOs!!:D

From Grant's: "In the May 10 issue, in breaking the story that Berkshire Hathaway stood to earn a certain sum of money if the S&P 500 closed below 1,150 on June 3, Grant's exaggerated the prospective winnings. They were $60 million (which Berkshire indeed won), not $600 million." I guess...

Please read the following with the spirit of neutrality because I really bear Faster no ill will: Of what value is a journal that only includes a symbol with an entry and exit price? I can't think of any purpose other than showmanship (assuming that these trades are real). So what if you...

So you traded in 50k blocks, but what if you wanted to trade less? Do you have any idea at what volume they would draw the line? Thanks.

did I miss something or did wwatson and his journal just disappear?

Don't take this the wrong way (I posted some advice on your original thread so I bear you no ill will) but stop pestering the board with little questions that can be answered with a minimal investment of your own time. In this case a visit to sharebuilder.com, interactivebrokers.com and a...

Faster, I've got my bib on standby just in case. But its been a long time since I've tasted crow. I've heard its an acquired taste.:D

Here's my advice: 1] Read everything you can get your hands on. Read and read. Books, magazines, websites, etc. Try and distill every book into a few paragraphs after you read it. Also look at each books bibliography to get ideas on what else to read. 2] Start paper trading long term...

Wow! 5 pages and still nary a hair nor hide of a trade! You've outdone yourself this time TradeRX/Faster/(wotever).

Again I say: "What the %#*& ?!" This time because after the dust settled I find out that ORCL's CEO Ellison said that the company would meet expectations when the company had previously forecast earnings of 13 to 14 cents vs. the consensus of 12 cents. So where is the logic in that? He...
