Chart of PCG over two years

It was just about a year ago that every business media outlet was devoting prime space to talk about the demise and possible annhilation of EIX and PCG due to the California energy debacle. Remember? Taleb's book "Fooled by Randomness" got me thinking about this and wondering what ever did...

dgabriel, if you are short homebuilders/const sector, what do you think about NVR? It has had the most exponential burst out of all of them.

Does anyone know a website that would provide a free industry/sector/subsector breakdown of the market in a list format? Thanks

www.geneva-trading.com is the only one I know. Do a search of this site (top right corner of your screen).

Maybe they made this decision because they want to become an exchange in the future.

This is what I got from IB: Dear Trader, Thank you for your email. It is not a fixed rule of thumb, but you may want to wait until the trades settle. Meaning 3 business days. Then in order for you to short the stock it must be marginable. Usually this is not available for 30 days...

here's a thought: why don't we actually talk about trading?

Hmm...lets see STOCKBROKER (a while back), seanote, dgabriel, DonBrights Opening thread, plus who knows how many more in the future. But the larger point is that these people are polite, cordial and professional.

I've heard that it is not possible to sell short an IPO within its first 4 weeks of trading. Could anyone please confirm this (preferably with some proof :D )? I checked this site's archives and nasdaqtrader.com and sec.gov but didn't find anything relevant. Thanks in advance.

lemme guess: you're buying NVDA at its bottom everyday and selling at the top (or selling short at top and covering at bottom) am I right?

To put all this $ amount thing into perspective thestreet.com received $700,000 last year from their banner ads. If you've been to their site recently you will notice that they plaster it with a massive amount of ads, and they have a hell of a lot more viewers than elitetrader.com....you can...

You could also go to Echo (min $10,000) and trade there as a pro. I'm not affiliated with them, just thought I would point out this option.

How would you go about setting up a prime brokerage acct from offshore?

go to realtick's website, there you will find a list of brokers that use RT.

Maybe it has to do with commissions. A lot of brokers will charge you a ticket plus a per share fee (before the days of 1 cent/share EDAT) so perhaps this rule of thumb came about to keep your commissions at a reasonable % of your trade. Just a thought. Another reason could be that higher...

What do you mean exactly by a lot of buys? Every transaction that is printed is both a buy and a sell. Why aren't you perceiving them as 'sells'?
