If the trades on a particular stock are showing 100% green and no red (sells), what does this mean? Looking the trades on IPAD app.
Thank you
I am also new lol
but have little to invest
Seriously, without trying to burst your bubble, considering a career change to become a professional investor with little funds will not work. If you really wanted to become an active trader where it would be your sole income you would need a lot more than "a little" to get started. I also don't recommend anyone doing this for a living who is new to investing. I have been doing this as a job since 1996 and I can't even begin to tell you how many people I know who I saw come and go. If you are retired or have a spouse who makes enough income and supplies you with health benefits it is possible, but it takes years of learning. Don't be giving up your day job to do this.
Happy New Year everyone!
I am new to the site and stock investing. I have dabbled a little in stocks; buying a few distressed shares using dollar cost averaging through an exchange; using a dividend reinvestment plan. I have seen some good results.I am mostly self-taught and enjoy reading the Wall Street Journal daily; along with other business publications. I am considering a career change to become a full-time investor; but have little to invest. What is the best and wisest way to accomplish this goal?
Thank you!
it means that there was a transaction below .0001 - it won't show up as a price because of the digits (.0001 is the lowest) - I don't think retail investors can even place an order below that price, but it does occasionally happen
i don't know if there is an ihub board for it, but you could make a customized scan and choose volume and price ranges - Etrade Pro has it and I am sure there are other platforms that provide it
if there is no bid or ask it means it is no longer trading or halted
Try the "The Question and Answer Board"...Happy Holiday.
Is there a way to change the white background to black from white on the levelI?
question for you folks -- is there a board that lists the most liquid stocks btw ranges, like say .25 to $1?
If a stock on the USOTC market never has an ask or sell price what does that mean? That they are not publicly traded or on the chill list maybe? Lehman's brothers for instance.
When the stock price drops, the company's valuation drops. It doesn't mean the company loses money - it means they are valued at a lower amount.
I have a a few questions that has been bothering me for sometime. Let's say a company decides to go public and just for example issues 100 shares. Do all those shares equal the entire value amount of the company? If so my concern is what happens if the stock price cause the market cap to drop below what the company is actually worth? Thanks for any responses.

cute kid too
It means there are multiple mm's - so say there is bid stacking you would see a bunch of mm's at the current offer - you like to see the bid with more mm's than the ask if you are hoping for an uptick.
What is the definition of bid stacking on L2?
Gray means the transaction fell between the bid and the ask. For example the color would be gray if the bid was .0015 and the ask was .0017 but the order filled at .0016. Make sense?
Ok when u pick your stock on ihub or any stock for that matter . On the top beside the news link there is the trades when you hit that u see the trades and most times it green or red but some times in the middle it will be grey . Why ?
I have no idea what you are talking about. What platform? If it is an Ihub platform, read the sticky - there is a link in there to ask any ihub related questions.
If you look on the trades it shows green & red but sometimes grey what does the grey stand for ? Anyone
They will most likely move to the otcbb or the pinks. Yes, you can still trade them under those exchanges. A lot of times when a stock gets delisted, its' share price takes a tumble due to the delisitng. Sometimes the price drop happens a few days before the delisting and it is priced in by the time it opens up on the other exchange.
If a NASDAQ stock gets delisted due to the price being too low for too long, what happens to shares? Obviously I would still own them, but do they just become much more difficult to trade (due to not being on an exchange ) or would they sort of "automatically" end up on OTC?
Thx!
Yes, agreed level 1 the right number.
Thank you and happy holidays!
I have no idea what you are talking about but if it is in regard to ihub site please read the sticky on top of page.
HAI, how can i eliminate those warnings that there are 2 boards where something has been written ?
sometimes on Etrade there is a bid price that is stuck on level II and it isn't the exact bid or ask price - sometimes refresing the screen helps. u said Market Caster? I know it happens on Pro and Market Trader - they probably use the same feed. Usually level I is always correct when that happens and that is how you can tell.
Ihub via iPad app is delayed and etrade is real time, market caster, but bid much lower on Ihub no matter real time or not. Like .000x versus a penny on etrade. Weird
One of those services u r looking at delayed quotes?
I am looking at stock i want to buy and bids shown between Ihub(much lower price) than what is shown on Etrade? Why is that?
Try to find the board for that particular stock to start. Type the ticker in the 'Search iHub' box.
Also check the DD Support and Fraud Research Team
How about a question on a stock where do go ?
Yep. Even with a cash account where you request the broker not to lend them out, they can refuse. The only way is really by holding the certs but as you noted not very easy to cash them out if they were to go up while you are in possession of the certs.
Nice post. Thanks.
OK, here's the skinny. You are supposed to be able to open a cash account where your shares are not lent out, vs. having a margin account. When you open an account you have the option.
However, the truth is, the brokerage will still use the shares if need be, so that's pretty much moot.
Yes, if you want to hold the certs in kind, you can certainly do that, however, it makes them less liquid and you'll pay a fee to get them delivered. So, to the bottom line, the whole claim of protecting your shares from your brokerage is a spoof. It is a rumor started by those wishing to convince penny stock traders why their stock price is falling.
Just read the below from the SEC.
http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/keyregshoissues.htm
I think requesting certs is the only way to stop them from lending out shares to short.
No, it's an urban myth.
Some believe that if you but an order to sell above the price it prevents those shares to be lent out to short. I have heard that this is really not true. But you will find many posts about doing this on ihub.
I am new to investing this year and have been follow the boards on some of my stocks. Some posters have talked about "locking" in a sell price on their stock. Does this help keep the shorters from using them? Is this something I should do to all my stocks.
Thanks for help.
What app are you using?
You're welcome and Happy Holidays to you also.
Thank you as that makes sense. Viewing on the app for my iPhone.
Thanks again and happy holidays
Green and red are traditionally Christmas colors and it is almost December so maybe it means ..... SANTA'S COMING! :)
Actually, I'm not sure which platform you are asking about but on mine that would indicate that the ask is currently lower than the previous sales. In other words, a sale went off at 10.00 and since then, the ask dropped to 9.95 all trades at the ask are now lower and shown in red to indicate the price has come down.
On the trades if bar shows half or mostly green on hitting ask but # of trades in red what does this mean?
Sorry...fung got me going...lol Won't happen again.
