Been doing some research... my dear old mother has some dry powder and she is sick of seeing the meager returns she is getting at the bank... I'm more of a short term trading that sticks strictly to the parameters of the systems. Not very familiar with value investing and dividends. Have...

Is there a website the forcasts the expected dividends and also shows you the most recent ex-divi days? Specifically could you set up a portfolio that lists all your stocks relevant divi information? Thanks for all your help guys! j

Thanks for all your help... As far as entering the closing price from 10 days ago.... is there anyway to do that automatically? Or is there anyway to have excel grab the price 10 days ago for me? i cant imagine inputting the price 10 days ago for 100's of stocks every morning. Thank...

Great, just what I was looking for... Not how do I get excel to grab this 10th day from the last from yahoo finance? Is there a formula, function for that? Im a total newbie, please be patient with me;) john

My question is regarding how I can computer on Excel the last 10 days % chg in a stock. So simply find the percentage difference from the closing price on stock 10 days ago vs. the last traded price. I know I can grab this data from finance.yahoo.com under historical prices, however I have...

So if someone was aggressing an order on the bid via EDGA ~~~ The EDGA would have priority over EDGX and NYSE ~~~ Would the EDGX have priority over NYSE if there wasn't an EDGA available and the order was routing via EDGA? Thanks!

This question is perhaps geared towards the individual who looks at the micro picture of trading. I understand that adding liquidity with EDGA you pay and taking liquidity with EDGA you get a rebate. Also, I understand that EDGX you get a rebate for adding and pay to take. My EDGA...

Furthermore, When they give the offering price--- how does that affect the current stock price? Does the stock price trade down to the offering price? Just not quite sure about the dynamics of a stock offering... Thanks guys, any feedback or help to where I can find this information...

Is there a rough way of estimating how much a stock will drop due to dillution after a stock offering? Say for instance a company is offering 25% of it's outstanding shares on primary market. Let's say this stock is trading at $100---- is there anyway to estimate rough where the price should...

Yikes! Just read my post. My apologies about all the misspellings, etc. So your essentially saying that it is free money? The stock rallies before ex-dividend day to collect the dividend. That is free $$$? Not buying it... Anyone else?

What am I missing? There are some stocks that pay out huge dividends +20% and more... I've noticed that like a couple weeks prior to ex-dividend day the stocks will rally... makes sense, in anticipation of the ex-div people want to get their hands on a juicy dividend. And once they...

yes equities... NSDQ and NYSE stocks

I have a question for you... If I'm joing the big/offer how do I get filled? Is it using a FIFO algo to get filled? Or being a retail customer do I simply get screwed? Are there traders with special privaledges in terms of priority of getting filled? I say this because I feel Im always...

I agree these flash orders are such a farce... Being a short term trader who really looks at the micro level, flash order ahve been killing me. I've had mixed bids(different ECN's) showing thousands disappear once I tried to hit them. it needs to end.
