Amzn

smartist stocks like Amazon, goog, aapl, rimm, ma, v, bidu immune to recession. Consumers are still spending and clicking ads. Dollars are being shifted form crappy retail stores to online stores.

I was thinking of buying it today but you never know how the news are going to turn out and it's kinda expensive... Oh well... Anyway, what's up with the after hours trading? How can I get in on that? I tried putting in a bid last night for another stock and IB platform gave me a message that the bid will not be executed until the next day's open. How do people trade in the extended session?
go to IB configure order menu highlight after hour trading then save,and you ready to trade after hours.

Thanks, I'll try that. Is there extra charge for that? Why isn't it available by default, do you know?

you should spend some time getting to know your platform, that is the IB platform. They have some tutorials on their website. You have to alter the order after hours usually to day plus, or put in a GTC good till cancel order. Lots of people on this site use IB; you may want to see if they have a forum as well, they can be very useful for mechanics of execution and some trading strategies.

Thanks, I will do that. Although I am switching to Lightspeed for now. Might come back to IB in a while of course.

look like i did a big mistake shorting AMZN at 59.20,any positive feedback folks.looks like i will be toast.its going up:mad: :confused:
This short squeeze is a lot of fun to watch, that's for sure. Great buys available at solid support levels throughout the day. If you shorted at 59, I'm sure you put a small position on given the possibility of a run-up to 66. Right?

I'll short the hell out of it at 65.50 , but I doubt we'll get there.

agreed great short here just got off a few legs. Will leg in as it rips more
I'm waiting, but then I usually miss these opportunities because I wait too long. This oculd easily get to 66. Easily.
