In the past you could buy some penny stock and have it be completely marginable, even though it was only trading at 8c a share. Now I see the words marginable securities. Does this mean that not all stocks can be margined against? What are the new rules that determine what stocks are marginable?

That's why breakout trading is so awful. You can't average.

I always average down and then average again. Just make sure that your basis is ok. Make sure you scale well. Make sure you're right. you'll do just fine.

Nothing like getting caught in a TXU halt, nearly sh*tting my pants, nearly sh*tting Dustin's (cause he followed me into it), and nearly chucking a monitor across the room out of frustration b/c it took them 3 god damn hours to figure out what the news was that they halted it for. It was a great...

I can't download it for some reason.

-353.7 our futs are holding 800 like a stone wall.

Didn't mean to offend. I just use shorthand a lot.

Jeezes, anyone think we really puke out tomorrow? The japs are down 374 right now or almost 4%. I wonder how much more it's gonna drop out tonight. For some reason, our own futs are only down a few. Should be an interesting one. I'm all short over the weekend.

I found it. They let you download which is good, but they only have the last 1 year of information which includes only this year and last year's information.

What's the link? Where do I go once there?

Looks like you are. Maybe we should share notes. Mine don't do much of anything though and both are long term investments. I'd be astonished if either gapped down more than a dime on any day.

Thankyou. I will look into that.

What type of an idiot response is that. I care b/c I want to be able to save myself an hour per company that I analyze.

Hi, When you go to most sites and look at financial information (balance sheet, income and cash flow) they only give you the last 4 quarters, and a lot of times they condense this information down so you can't even tell all of what is happening in all the accounts. I often now have to look at...

I'm willing to risk about 20% of my account on any one day. I've had a few days where I took such a large hit. I've had quite a few more days where I made many times more than that. By changing my leverage %, I can change my risk pretty easilly. Lately, I have been risking much less per trade...

We considered it. Most of the investors are friends and family. They know that no matter what, I'll do what is best and they just want their money ran in the same way that I run mine. I run mine as I see fit. In fact, I've been taking things much more seriously lately. I only go out on thursday...

I am, the start date is dec 1. I finally went over my results like Aaron showed. They didn't change that much though. 134% in 2000, 232% in 2001, about 65% so far this year.

Go figure, it was one of my better days all stupid month, and I only played it from the long side.

I've heard so many awful reasons why fund managers buy crap stocks and how they piss away retirement money. It's just scary that anyone would ever use a mutual fund.

you need micron. withough mu, you can't grade the stupidity quotient and the mindless hope quotient in the market.
