    Meaninugless numbers in IB at night times

    I only trade stocks and options. I just see wrong data (sometimes) when the market is closed and as I said , I don't care and I know that it is only a mistake. First time it scared me .I guess if the market is open the data should be correct as it has always been.

    GOOG in serious trouble ?

    Let me show the case from another angle. GOOG was a $9 stock which went up to $47 and now it is around $34. Now it does not look that bad right? When a startup goes public and its stock shoots to the moon, expect insiders to sell. I believe the best company is the one that the insiders are...

    I have seen that problem many times. It happens AH till midnight. You see suddenly an option that is priced at 2 jumps to 100 and your account goes up or down by thousands and your SMA and and cash value become negative. I have learned how to deal with it. The solution is: Just set back and...

    I read this thread. I was shocked. Why some members think that because their name shows a big number of postings, they can insult the new ones. The member who started this thread, just asked a simple question and asked for a private message and then zdreg instead of answering his question...

    How's my portfolio. Is it diversified enough?

    What GOOG's CEO said about 100 billion dollar company was out of desparation. They also said that growth is slowing and MSFT is becoming a big rival. Well those were the facts and 100 billion dollar company is a wish. Now it is up to you which one to pick. By the way, have you ever heard of dead...

    All things said, I don't recommend trading GOOG. It is too risky and outcome is not known and everything depends on your gut!! I believe we can find more risk manageable trades.

    No I did not buy PUT 340. I bought PUT 390 yesterday at 14.20!! 3 contracts and two PUT 380. I also sold Call 430 for 2.2 yesterday. It went up to 3.6 today but I see it was traded at 0.05 today !!. I was forced to cover my naked Calls at 1.45. (with profit) I recommended less aggressive...

    What 's the cost for an Hidden order?

    As far as I know, when you hide your order, you are not in the queue for your price. You will get your shares when everyone has got their shares at your price. You will be the last. It is good if you want to cover a large short position and are afraid your order will jack the price up. Or a stop...

    To everyone: I just have a gut feeling that we might see a big drop in GOOG in the next week. I just guess buying PUT 340 might not be a bad idea and selling it in the drop. Don't keep it till expiry. Maybe my gut is not functioning properly:confused:

    hajimow: I think your INTC play would probably "yak jiu" in the short run. Novel Hint: Ask any of your friend who knows Cantonese. He who plays INTC should know that it might not be a short term win. It might pan out in short term but you have to think of it as a little longer term...

    I believe buy signal for INTC was confirmed today by ThinkEquity's downgrade. That was the last whip to Intc. I see a great opportunity today to buy Calls or sell PUTs (preferrably buying Calls). I will punish myself if I see I am wrong on this Call:eek: Punishment : Inviting all my co-workers...

    INTC going long itm INTC calls at open Tuesday. Hoping it opens flat, or lower. I can not imagine a trade better than that. I am going to do the same. I will either go long on the stock or buy Call 20 and sell Call 22.5 to reduce the cost. What is your plan. I already have sold 9 PUT 22.5...

    Gooooooogle

    What a great comeback. Shorted the shares at 372.8, then shorted PUT 360 and then sold Call for 400 and then covered the shorts at 366 and then covered Call 400 at 0.1 and waiting for PUT to die. What a vision and patience. Thank God no losing trade in 2006 so far.
