OT: (EDIT) w0od, what a bummer. Missed chance at 4 runs of mini because they were not marginable stocks (by Ameritrade/Apex standards). In fact 10 of the ones I had picked for promise today were not marginable. I had electronically transfrred funds from bank to my acct. Shows as withdrawn from bank, and deposited into my acct. but found I can not buy not marginable stocks with the money for 5 days.

Went ahead and bought 8 higher priced, marginable, good run on one (13% which I sold high), 3 up slightly but not enough to come out even with commissions and 4 down slightly.

EDIT-I am a small fry and have only about 25k that I am playing with. However, nearly half of that is in an IRA account and the ones I have checked with will not set up IRAs.
