I'm up $100 but I've hit snags. Like today, the market continued to drop so I couldn't get above even.

But I imagine that making money is a lot easier when the US markets are on the incline. However, June, July and August will continue to suck and I'll be struggling to go above even each day that I decide to participate. I probably won't even bother making trades on days where I can just look and see the DOW tanking.

I'm just hoping that there isn't a 2nd recession because I enjoy actively trading

the good thing is that you can make money no matter what: if the dow is falling you only trade short positions etc

the bad thing is that you can lose money no matter what

I'm not sure if my online broker has a good deal on options. It says $5.00 plus 50¢ per contract. I don't know if there is any other hidden fees if I give my account the options upgrade.
I have 91 free trades left for stocks. It would be awesome if I could double my initial investment by the time I go through all the trades. They are only available to me until 7/9/2011.
I've recently got a violation because I traded with "unsettled funds". I think I know where to look now to find out if any of my funds are unsettled.

outside of your get rich quick scheme there are some other good reasons to hope there isn't a second recession

how did you do today, lorax?
― caek, Saturday, 6 August 2011 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
A month ago I got frozen into one stock because it dipped and I don't want to sell. I've been wishing I could be a day trader, or swing trader even, but my funds are too low for me to do that. I can't even afford to open a margin account.
So yeah, I'm long on a stock that's much lower than what I paid for it. So now I'm waiting 'til sometime between St/ Leger's day and November). I'm still expecting the price I paid to double although it's looking like it might halve itself first.
I have to utmost confidence in my stock, even in this economic time of uncertainty.

“sell in May and go away, come back on St Leger day”and in my case there will also be a shareholder's meeting bringing in good news

wait a second, that's what you said last night when my plan was not excellent at all!
i know i'm on a downward spiral because i've started mixing drinks without measuring anything and my gameplan for the night is to make a really sweet playlist and drink a lot of water later so i can go to work

yes but this time it's different because the plan allows for changes on st leger's day. your plan seemed good, but was not a "sure thing".

gas was crazy cheap back then. that's for sure.

Was curious about checking something in connection to that:
1) price of crude oil -- http://www.nyse.tv/crude-oil-price-history.htm2) price of gas -- http://gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx
Oil went down to just over $80 a barrel yesterday; the price of gas (U.S.) according to the graph above was somewhere around $4.70. (I have to go by the chart--here in Ontario, we're running around $1.20-$1.25/litre.) The last time oil was near the $80 level was Sept./Oct. 2007. Price of gas then? Somewhere around $4.00 a gallon. Would be interested to hear Exxon and the rest explain that.

I don't get things like crazy dip after Fed announcement on interest rates, followed by crazy rise a couple hours later. This seems unmoored from any sense.

Came across this in a piece about Groupon's IPO filing (why I was reading it, I haven't a clue): "Groupon's initial IPO filing highlighted a nonstandard metric called 'adjusted consolidated segment operating income.'" Really, does that sound like a world unmoored from reality?

So are IPOs basically the new way of saying "My company is about to turn to shit and I'm cashing out while I can"? -- they can't keep this shit up much longer.
