I have a question for you or anyone else here on the board. I'm shopping for a new broker, been having some glitches with Scottrade that aren't making me very happy, also heard some horror stories about etrade and ameritrade.
I've checked out tradeking but I'm far from sold on them
Any thoughts or recommendations??
I looked at them in the past but don't remember what I thought of them. Thanks for bringing them to my attention I'll have to check them out
I'm not sure if it was widespread or isolated but I had problems with Scottrade today. Almost all afternoon my quotes would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute at a time. I'm pretty sure it wasn't an internet connection problem as stockcharts and everything else kept going without any problems.
I know at this point I am wide open for any ideas on who has the better service for the money.
Very, Very well said. I keep an eye on the select few I posted but don't play them very often for the reasons you listed. Also as far as I know the tax credits for solar are set to expire at the end of this year. This can't be helping any. My gut tells me they will extend them but anything is possible.
Hey, we've hit lucky 13 on the list of breakout boards for the day.
It's nice to see this board getting some interaction and ideas being exchanged. That was my goal when I took over as mod awhile back. I hope it will continue to grow and more will start bringing thoughts and ideas to the board.
The markets are constantly changing, to survive one must change as the markets change and never stop learning new things. The best way to do that is through the exchange of thoughts and ideas.
Keep up the good work guys, I look forward to learning much more this year as well as helping some avoid the same painful mistakes I've made in my first 9 years in the markets
IMO I don't think you are far off on that estimate.
tomorrow will consist of making sense out of what happened today and Friday will consist of worrying about what will develop through the weekend.
IMO there are going to be some great opportunities with financial plays in the near future.
I pulled the 5 minute on UYG, it tells the tale well. Nice pop when feds announced rate cut then big sell off in last hour. Tomorrow should be an interesting day.
monsters under the bed, don't get that rumor started unless of course ghostbusters is publicly traded and you are way long in it
I've not seen any of the news on China, I'll have to check that out, doesn't sound good at all

There will be days like that, shake it off and keep moving forward. I didn't do so hot with my picks from last night either, had 5 out of 12 green for today. I did notice your picks for yesterday turned 4 out of 8 green today though with SGMS being up over 8% at HOD.
Ideas, thoughts, and chart plays are free, don't fret over a bad one unless you take a loss on it. Also don't discard them just because they don't turn immediate gains. Many that I find I find early and have to watch them for awhile before they make a move I like. Use those days of watching to your advantage and learn how that stock moves so when it does present an opportunity you can make a better decision.
Thanks for the kind words, that means a lot. I've followed you for quite awhile and have always respected your thoughts and opinions.
As for the markets, they are rather bumpy these days, I may have to resort to taking dramamine before opening bell if it continues at this pace.
As for USAT, bottom line is to make some bank. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as it's working for you.
Sweet, is he on the ballot for president?? Sure beats what we have to currently chose from!
Welcome to the board and thanks for sharing that with us, very, very nice looking play.
Be very watchful of the bond insurers. ABK, MBI, SCA and RAMR to name a few took major hits at end of day because of speculation that ABK and MBI will have their ratings cut.
As vital as the bond markets are to the economy there is no way that the feds are going to let it tank. Another possibility is that of big dollar investors buying them up.
Either way these plays will rise as fast they fell if not faster.
Money making opportunity here IMO, shady or not use it to your advantage. ABK, SCA, MBI and RAMR will all be in play because of this. May be tomorrow, may take a couple days but when it turns it will come back as fast if not faster than it fell. As essential as the bond market is to the economy there is no way the feds are going to let it tank
I seen that as well, Once we get above 2.00 and hold that level firmly this thing will take off nicely IMO. People still a little shaken over it falling under 1.00 at this point but I believe that is turning as well
That's kinda what I was thinking
From all I can find they've only increased outstanding shares by 1 million over the last 4 years.
feds cut interest rates another 1/2%, markets not doing bad now, IMO they'll gain some more towards EOD
I think it will strengthen towards EOD
Fed Cuts Rates by Half Point
Where are you getting your information from?? The company only had 27,238,976 shares outstanding as of Nov 9, 2007
I don't see any way a Nasdaq company is going to dilute like you claim they may. I could always be wrong but this is the first speculation I've even heard like this.
Just a little over half hour before Feds release their results
NYNY has caught fire this morning, HOD 1.35
Wish I would have bought some of that in the .80's and held onto it
HMX, made it through 2.77 resistance, looks like 2.95 - 3.00 is next one it has to break.
link back for chart
I like it as well, got in with ya at 2.72
ETFC making some nice gains this morning
RAMR putting forth effort, lets see if it can pull it off and get on a roll here
thanks, just trying to stay within the TOU
exactly
a little, plus a little, plus a little, eventually equals a whole big bunch!
thanks, just trying to make some bank
nope, but I do come from the only other state in the country that doesn't have a concealed carry law
I've been following ETFC closely since about the 6.00 area, I hope this helps it out. Feds decision today should have a big impact on it, just hope they don't under do it
I'm thinking it may do very well indeed.
14 degrees here, biggest problem with that is that yesterday at 3:55 pm it was 61, twenty minutes later it hit 39 and fell from there

speaking of pinches
I don't own and for a good reason, I'd never get anything done and my stock picks would suffer.
Give me a good combat game where I get to shoot lots of things and I'm content for hours.........lol
