    I think I found working stock trading system

    Have traded for over 30 years...So I will guess on the system. Find an industry leader who's earnings will beat estimates...Even by a few cents. If the earning aren't hit out of the park, there will be sells and adjustments to the price. Institutions, pension funds, and common investors will...

    I am buying the following stocks as of now Thursday 11:30 ET 2/25

    I look at my loses today and start to sigh. But then I look closer...I've got covered calls on Apple (AAPL) at $120. and Choice Hotels (CHH) at $105...Both Jan 22. I've considered them lost and gone...Didn't really want to buy back the options. But in a few months, maybe buy back and do...

    CAR...Avis/Budget, buyout or taken private? How do you know??

    This stock has gone up since the talks of opening up the country. Up big time. When you look at the options (calls...Sell to open) there is great demand at the $75. level. It seems like someone knows something or it could be a buy out. Just wondering if a high option price indicates a...

    Bought CVS today...

    I had one open buy out there for about 10 days. It was CVS at $71.19...Their earnings came in. Almost forgot about it. I knew it was there, but thought it wouldn't go through. They beat the street estimates, so of course the stock drops over 5%. Good dividend and much value I see. If it...

    AVATRADE has robbed me twice

    Not really...They threw in one maybe two services. Walked up to the "banker" (glorified customer service) and got it changed. The hassle with Wells Fargo is I owned stock in the company...It took years to clean up that mess!!

    My wife and I have five accounts between Fidelity and Schwab (ROTH IRAs, trust accounts). We do our banking at Wells Fargo...Not online, just a few direct deposits and withdrawals. There is a reason for this. Could we go cheaper...Sure. I am cheap, but for certain things I want the industry...

    Just putting it out there...Too young to trade options??

    Two companies worse that Robinhood...Pay day loan companies and credit card companies. We know about the annual interest charged on pay day loans. For the past 40 years colleges (for pay), will allow credit card companies onto campus during the first few weeks of school. Have cool/slick (give...

    What happens when the stock you short has a non-transferable distribution?

    I bought stock in an oil exploration company years ago...Bought it cheap then did a covered call. It went straight down hill...Could not buy back the option. It went into bankruptcy and would have been on my books for years. I just wanted it off my books!! Found a buyer...The stock was still...

    Just putting it out there...Too young to trade options??

    I was 44 in the year 2000. I had done covered calls and puts to buy back those calls. I knew the dot com bubble was going to happen (Pets.com type of companies...No income at all). My broker at the time didn't want me to go to level two. I had 20 years of trading...Morgan Stanley. I had to...

    Limit Orders Direct Market vs Retail Broker

    Was the sell limit "all or none"? If it was, it probably won't get picked off. When I am on the buy side, if I do an all or none, many times it won't get filled...Even when it drops below my limit. This is because the whole lot (example your 4000 shares) need to have sellers (all 4000 shares)...
