    WM butchered after hours.

    I came in to buy some at a buck a share to watch it go to 38 cents. Not a big loss but just sucks to be scalping it and can only scalp to the long side and get caught with some inventory.

    So I was holding 1000 wm shares..

    yeah i know it sounds rude but when you ever get to the point where you think some of the ET posts are worthless you can go to yahoo and find out how bad posts can really get. Yahoo stock boards make me feel good about myself. especially when I had a losing day.

    Washington Mutual going under:

    Just bought some WM at a buck a share to watch it go down to 38 cents in the last hour of afterhours trading. dammmm It didn't keep trading until 8pm EST either so I am guessing its all done. my credit limit on my WM is more than my loss if it opens at zero tomorrow. I think it may be...

    I agree, I trade some markets outside the US but the UK isnt even on my radar due to the tax.

    Price closed near my BE point and I held for tomorrow. Such a low price stock with good volume and a moving price. I traded it all day and while I closed out a loss today on it I made a lot of what I would have lost by trading it all day long. Should be interesting trading this tomorrow.

    Weinstein Trading and Fading

    tough day all around. VRTX scalped but not well - 1594 PPC was halted yesterday. started out in premarket around $3 a share down a bit more than half. I called this premarket correctly that it was the most scarred and buying would be the right thing to do. I did buy up a few shares but...

    Still climbing, I cut back my long (its a loser ) looking a lot better than during the pre mkt. some bad news hit the wire from an analyst but the stock is still going higher so maybe the bad news is all factored in. Not sure but going to continue my long and trade it to try to make...

    Now trading in pre market in the 3-4 range. I started buying more as the weakest hands panic out at the first chance. saw some prints at $3 right at the start and now continues to move off that low good chance to get in at a (maybe) great price. I would not recommend buying heavy but...

    GE lowers profit guidance, suspends stock buybacks

    Lucky for those GE stock holders the shorts will keep a floor in the stock as it wants to move down from the selling pressure. oh wait....thats right i forgot. the public cant short GE now so they are not around to buy back today. On a happy note the specialist IS allowed to short it...

    Could be if it opens a lot lower, I own this stock but I cant say I am overly impressed with the press release today. On the other hand my gut says the banks offering the credit lines are not going to pull the rug out unless they think things are not going to improve at some point in the...

    Time Magazine: Paulson has been working on bailout plan FOR 6 MONTHS!!!!!

    Yeah Oct 2 is probably gonna come and go with no change in the short ban. I really didnt want to have to go get a job but that appears to be my future. Maybe a job in govt where i can sit back and watch youtube all day and still collect a check.

    Island hidden orders visible to some?

    Right, I dont even pay for L2 much less total view and openbook I dont think that explains why I would see for example 3600 in IB and 400 shares in TS as the best bid

    Island hidden orders visible to some?

    Can you see your hidden order in the IB book trader?? I just started trading all my trades with Island (moved from ARCA due to the odd lot BS of having to relist orders after some SOB lifts 1 share) It has appeared to me that IB sometimes shows a higher amount on island than on...

    Options Market Maker Exemption: a question

    Of course they want to keep the extention as long as possible. Its like getting free money everyday for them. Its criminal that a market maker can make money doing the same thing I want to do but the govt says that I cant.
