Does someone do it nowadays? Are companies willing by call to answer some typical questions, i.e. "I have seen you have increased investment into plants in the past 3 years, could you please let me know details of those investment and how you think it will affect revenue in the future"?

Is it normal that a majority of US debt comes with a very short maturity (under 3 years), look at the official current chart here: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/feddebt/feddebt_ann2021.pdf (page 23, Maturity chart)? I'd expect much more debt maturing farther in the future...

I found it... In "Account" under FX position there is an option for Adjust position or Average Price... I did adjust it to 0, and then this virtual position dissapeared! Thank you NoahA

Hi, I have used IDEALPRO to convert currencies and now the virtual position is displayed in Portfolio. My question is, if I want to close an account, how that virtual position affects me? Do I have to "close" that position in the future to close the account? Is it possible not to display...

I'm learning how to use margin with a paper account, but I'm now unsure what type of account I have created. In Activity Report I see "Account Capabilities: Margin". Where I can see what account type it is? I'm confused as I thought I'm using Portfolio Margin account, but in TWS I see in the...

Let assume my base currency is EUR and that I have deposited 200K on margin account. If I understand correctly if order SELL EUR.USD 200k is executed, then the currency conversion will happen. If additional I invoke another SELL EUR.USD 200k, then I would be short 200K and IB would count...

I find the SSL button on login screen in TWS confusing. By default, it is on the left side and SSL looks disabled! This looks like a serious security flaw. Or did I read this button position wrong? Checkbox would be much more clear solution. Can someone advise, if it is to the left, is SSL...

I thought that buying with LIT prevents you of a sudden high volume orders, i.e. assume that the current price is 12$, you put BUY LIT order when touches 10$, limit 9.98$. Assume someone dumped a high amount of shares with SELL MARKET. The price fell to 9.4$, and someone put SELL order on 9.5$...

I'm practicing more complex order types for day trading. Please correct me if I'm wrong or there is some addon. Going LONG: Buying with Limit if Touched (you set it above market price). After you bought it, if you want to prevent a loss, create SELL STOP with protection order (it is set...

Every day I see activity such as: 2208 2021-06-17 Loan Return Allocation SLB.61213300 6,445 -87,297.52 2208 2021-06-17 New Loan Allocation SLB.61242896 -6,421 85,354.35 Does it mean that the lender each day returns the loan and makes the new loan? What could be the reason he does it? Does...

Yeah, as I said, I might have used that one, but it is not maintained at all any longer.

It wasn't Finviz, this one looked simple and was specialized for Shorted Stocks. I did a query "shorted stocks website" again and I've found on page 10.. https://shortstockvolume.com I think it was this one, but it doesn't look maintained well at all...

Hi Nobert, it wasn't that one, but thanks for the link, this one is good. I'd prefer that one I have seen before, but I cannot find it yet... again...

I've seen months ago a simple website that showed for each stock the % of float shorted, the number of shares, the current borrowing yield and the yield history. I tried to find that website, but couldn't find it. Any idea which websites could it be?

Why telecommunication companies around the world, in general, have low PE, high dividend yield? (Verizon, Nippon, …). I understand that historically they underperformed S&P500, but is there another reason why they might be a value trap?

I was actually looking for another broker to complement Interactive Broker (I don't trust a single broker), I did go through other US brokers and while many actually support international clients, they are pretty much USD and US/Canada market centric. Singapore brokers charge a high...

I wonder what is your opinion on long-term prospects of Alphabet/Google. My opinion: The company seems of being very dependent on advertising income and abilities to grow in developed countries seems of being limited. There are growth opportunities in undeveloped countries. Other segments are...
