I have a special account and I pay only 15 cents for trading 100 shares of a stock. No ifs and buts and no promise to trade certain number of shares. Does it sound interesting? If I trade 1000 shares, I pay $1.5. If I trade 500 shares, I pay 0.75. If I trade 10,000 shares, I pay $15.

Up to 15.20 in 10 minutes after I posted. My pick from the 3 trading ideas that I mentioned is risk reversal. Bid/ask for Call 16 is 0.17/0.18 Bid?Ask for PUT 15 is 0.38/0.39 You get a credit of 0.21 for this trade with less commission it would be 0.19. You will start to lose if YHOO...

YHOO opened at 15.02 today down from 15.15 which was Friday's close. The reason is that Stifel Nicolas downgraded it to hold (not that it reallt matters). Now it is back to 15.15 and 15.16 (time 10:00 AM). It shows some sign of bottoming and bullishness. I recommend the following strategies: 1-...

Rolling over an option == closing the existing position ( either buying or selling) and then opening a new position (either selling or buying) for another month. IB also calls it rollover. You can do it in two ways: 1- do it manually (you might get better deals) 2- do it in a combo order (less...

It seems that investors were expecting to get special dividend after YHOO sells Asian assets. Now YHOO is considering to use that money to buy other companies to expand its business. I have been in your shoes before. It is very painful and the rule does not make sense.

No I had both. Naked Calls and Naked Puts. I paid $751.03 for commission today and I traded 812 contracts !!!

Thanks for asking. I am doing fine. Yesterday's announcement and AH drop came as a surprise to me but I believe there is no substance to it and YHOO will rise again. My account dropped a little today but the trades that I did, I recovered 50% of the loss. YHOO has dropped 90 cents. Just imagine...

Another note: today's total volume including about 1.8M AH shares was about 8.5M which is almost 50% of a normal day.

If you have read my posts, you saw that I called YHOO a pure sell at 16.30 (not sure about the exact price) and my re-entry was 15.90 area but today's AH also came as a surprise to me. I have also some options that will be assigned and some options will expire worthless. Since Dan Loeb is in...

Selling pressure stopped. Last trade is 15.45. AH trade volume is 1.6M. Price action more confirms that it should be a buy now. Note: My posts are for discussions only. Please DOYDD before any trade. Time : 6:17 ET

YHOO closed at 16.01 and dropped to 15.17 AH after YHOO filed for 8-K and plans to review its strategy for its cash. Now it is trading at 15.40. As a person who trades YHOO a lot, I don't see this drop justified and consider it as a buying oppotunity. Here is the link for YHOO 8-k report...

Covered GRPN at 6.76 today. Here are my short list now: S, ADI, ALTR, FB, SPY Long : TZA

GRPN longs should be punished more. From 7.50 in the morning, it has dropped to 6.93 now. Lots of rooms to go down. I am not covering it now. Don't forget that S is an ultra 100% pure short. It is trading at $4.55. Once in a while S pops up and then it drops to $3 where it belongs.

Iseems that the issue is solved.

Yes I have Comcast. I noticed that I have no problem with logging with my Andriod phone. Keep us updated.

Does anyone else has the same problem? When I try to run TWS, it cannot connect to the server. I tried on tw different laptops. My internect connection is fine.

Don't want to make a new thread for Sprint. Sprint (S) is trading at $4.52 now. It is a short at this level. Cover price is $4.30

I still say GRPN is a short. Since my yesterday's post, GRPN has gone up and that is because the shares are not available to short (temporarily). I don't change my outlook on a stock when it moves a little against me. All things said, I like to trade in perfection that is impossible. GRPN...

There is a big difference between AMZN and FB. AMZN has not pissed off investors. FB has.

I short FB once a while when I see the time is right. I called it a"short term cover" when it dropped to 19.80. I have no position on FB now but your reasonings have one big flaw. You don't value a stock or avoid a stock because of a possible future competition. It can happen but it has not...
