did they let you trade in the account while it was in transit? thanks..
good idea for the next time - actually I transferred out of schwab with this account - they were too nertsy on the retrictions..hahaha
I went with a full acat but will go to cash next time - btw, while in transit do they let you buy and sell stocks in the new account while in transit? or before the shares land? they should....thanks
lee, I am refinancing my mortgage as we speak with Wells Fargo- it sould be completed in a few weeks - I can lock in the rate here and am wondering if I should...any thoughts - or what would you do? It's a 5 year IO zero points - should save me a few hundered a month even adding in closing costs...thanks
read this:
Finally, the long anticipated interest rate decline is now underway and it's coinciding with abnormally low inflation numbers. Long-term rates are under downward pressure with the 30 year yield below 4.40%. This means bond prices are headed higher and unless something dramatic happens, this rebound will provide an opportunity for bond holders to lighten up, but not yet.
where is your website and how do I join?
its a defined benefit 401k type - cannot break it up..apples to apples transfer -but that's a cool idea..thanks

Interesting results of Merrill’s Monthly Manager Survey: It seems that most managers are very upbeat about the economy and the state of corporate health:
• Cash balances plunge to 3.5%, lowest since July’07;
• Highest equity allocation (34% from 7%) since Oct’07;
• Bond allocation (-28% from -12%) lowest since April’07.
• Tech (28%) is the most favored sector everywhere;
• 75% believe the world economy will strengthen in the coming 12 months (highest reading since November 2003 and up from 63% in July).
• 70% of the panel respondents expect global corporate profits to rise in the coming year, up from 51% last month.
• Confidence about corporate health is at its highest since January 2004
While I keep hearing about cash on the sidelines,. the professionals seem to be “All In.”
so what color ferrari ARE you getting? btw was this a chart call off the earnings momo or are you a follower of the company's fundies?
obviously your crystal ball is on steroids -

I am in moving an account hell - help!
How long should it take to move a whole account (all positions) from one to another..etrade is dragging - tells me I must stop trading and wait for settlement 3 days before moving -true? How can i speed this up - what's the fastest you've experienced...they say 3 frigging weeks -this is costing me thousands in trading dollars...thanks
fabian - you said something the other day about the china micro caps correcting - do you think the whole sector corrects meaning stocks like CMED, CYOU, cfsg, FUQI, all correct too? Or were you talking the aob types? thanks I think yer terrific! 12b
does that mean BAC has been "played" and is no longer a momo?
so much money lost in the market - many are forced to now trade pennies? my theory...

hey ico.. . today was the first day I went awol - nary a trade -went to Nashville on a shopping spree - went to whole foods - the place was a ghost town - the inside restaurant was closed, there were only two cashiers open..it was scary empty, and the produce was on sale and getting old from the lack of interest...lots of sidewalk sales from the smaller retailers in the area..then I went to home depot - I was the only one in the garden store...I spoke to the manager -I saw five trees I wanted and asked if he would give me a discount on volume...he said no. so much for retail! so I was not surprised by the bad numbers off the retail sector, and the unemployment rate...I posted a help wanted ad in craigslist yesterday and got over 85 responses!
the recession is far from over from my experience today - the charts say buy (WFMI) my experience says otherwise...by the way, I had to exchange a cheap backup keyboard at Staples - and surprise ! they had some traffic....go figure...my theory? the new underemployed are stocking their new hoffices...and back to schoolers...what's the economy look like out your way?

this ldk never gets it right at earnings -everytime I am tempted on this one I just buy a few shares of fslr...working so far...hahaha

do you subscribe to his service?
Naz news gappers board withdrawal symptoms experienced today! why did the site crash? - any explanation for the problem? was it intermittent - I finally got on around 2 pm central time...

you in FRE? Cramer trashed it tonight - said it was too "iffy" kinda took FBN to task too...

hey fabian..
great post - two things - who is CL?
and is what we saw today the beginningof yourlast paragraph ie august market action or profit taking or ambivalence in front of a lot of numbers this week we have to digest? urp....

have a relaxing weekend paul, you deserve it...next week should be fun..lol
you leave out a big factor - tying up funds for a full 7 months in one issue - - it has parked itself and many can't afford to tie up those funds for that long a period of time...if you didn't pick right not only did not get the ka-ching, you also lost seven months of trading money..by the way, you keep saying "we" - you run a group or something?
by the way, are you THE singing fabian of yore?
thanks 12b
