    CNBC - Cramer's Mad Money

    re: "Someone needs to write a computer program to track his performance in the lightning round recs". Last I recall from a week ago: RIMM was called in...Cramer said "they're having a great quarter....looks to be going to 80". Yeah, right. See tomorrows OPEN. How about 70 or less....

    Trading Markets- $7500

    Looks like a simple break-out system to me.....with very wide stop-losses (Note the example with Yahoo !).

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    Exactly. Recent tech trends indicate the following: nothing innovative lasts very long...knock-offs and look-alikes appear almost instantly. This is very much UNLIKE the late 1990's. Again, with a volatile pup like AAPL, watch the price action, and act accordingly...with incredible...

    Obtaining Trading Capital

    looks very promising.....but what about the other stats ? Sharpe & Sortino ratio important as is VAMI. These stats are shown in most of the hedge fund databases.

    Obtaining Trading Capital

    I've heard of Tradebolt and understand it is solid and powerful....BUT, they do want a share of your executions...so they have their hand out there too ! So...if they use the FIXX api, you'll need an order-entry platform that is FIXX compliant. Again, much, much capital out there in hedgefund...

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

    For newbies, any Nasdaq or NYSE stock they trade should be very liquid with at least 2-3 million shares per day traded. And, they shouldn't be holding overnight anyway. And, in the case of an "announcement" during the day, all they need to do is go active and exit their "wrong" positions...

    an office for the most part, but the trading platform allows for trading at home easily with a 2 or 3 screen cpu and broadband connection. I'm with a Prop shop now....but I may have to go back to a retail account until I get my series 7 and 55 completed. I've position traded commodities...

    Refco sells stake to Thomas H. Lee

    watch-out. I got burned by this guy back in the 80's when he partnered with Merrill Lynch in some mezzanine finance deals. He really ripped people off with the Snapple IPO. I am amazed he is still in business. Then again, Wallstreet got away with murder back then. Today, he would be locked-up.
