    Question about IPO first trading day at the open

    Most probably you meant at the price that they offer (initial public offering price) and I can say most of the time that possibility may be zero. For example FIT was offered at $22 but it never opened at $22 and lets say it opened at $27 and traded between $27 to $32 during the first day. You...

    Lending Club

    Growth wise they will grow because it is a great concept as they have grown in the last few years. You have to compare it with banks. Banks do not return the profit to account holders and they return it to share holders. LC returns the profit to lenders and there will be less to return to the...

    Good point but I can assure you wont be able to sell when it stops trending. You wont see that trend after it is too late.

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I have been holding my short/long positions for the last 4 years. I change and modify them but I don't close them over the weekends. Check out my performance in my IB account. I am short some specific stocks like ADI, MCD and long GLD, TZA, trade XLU, SPY and BSV. That's it . so simple.

    If You are long RUSSEL 2000 ETF (IWM) you are long at ....

    I believe that IWM is overvalued and I am not talking about 10% or 20% overvalued. I believe it is overvalued 300% based on DOW at 17500 or S&P at 2050. I know what I say is super funny but I have to say that. I have seen many analysts believed that small caps valuations were ridiculous and they...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I don't expect oil to drop to $40 in a week but I expect it to drop to $54 in a week or max two weeks. It might rise to $60 again but it should definitely hit $54 because of Iran/USA talks.

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I was predicting oil to go down to 57 which it did today. It should hit 54 in a week. Gold should rally like 3%. BSV is selling off that shows that the chance that we should get a rate hike next month is increasing. General market should also go down after some sideways action.

    Greek eurozone exit thread

    I should say I am happy to see the civilized behavior of Greeks in this difficult time. There is no sign of unrest and TV shows that everyone is unhappy but rational and you don't see them throwing stones to the banks and looting stores with big black plastic bags (as in Baltimore) !! However I...

    What keeps a brokerage employee from shadowing your trades?

    In 1997 I used to trade through TD bank and for shorting, I had to call them. When I called the local branch, they did not ask my account number as they already had it by heart. I had also personally met them. One of them told me that he shadowed one of my short trades but since as an employee...

    Altera Buyout

    I have a PhD in EE and work with FPGAs and I know the need for a combination of a DSP and a programmable device. My point was that there was no need to buy the company. They could easily pay 1B and license it. When you need milk, you don't buy a grocery store or a farm.

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    The time differs based on the month. I know some companies pay on 1st and 15th but usually they pay bi-weekly . For example this Friday and 2 Fridays after that and ....

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    It usually does not happen end of the month. Usually it happens bi-weekly. Considering the fact that some people are switching to cash, the outcome should be zero or even negative or in the best case unknown. Another subject: I think AAPL should drop a buck by close. Now it is up almost a buck...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    How traders/investors will trade tomorrow : 1- hard core shorts will keep shorting which should drag the market down 2- Regular 401K investors might pull out some money or keep contributing so the outcome should either be flat or down 3- momentum traders will keep trading in both directions so...
