Thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess I should have asked my question in more detail. I'm long MO currently (bought it yesterday). It's up...
Great posts. I've been reading these before trading a few days now. Just curious - what are your thoughts on MO?
I bought JAVA as a swing trade a couple of weeks ago right before it dropped along with the rest of the NASDAQ. Since then the market has...
No, I am trading live already (started a few weeks ago). And doing OK actually. In large part thanks to a month of daily paper trading (mainly...
OK, sorry, I misunderstood which simulator you were talking about. My bad.
No it's not. This is from the IB website: "The TWS demo mirrors the actual TWS in both form and function except market data is simulated based...
I know, thanks. But I stumbled on this after the prices have gone up too high to risk going long and I wasn't sure if shorting these would be a...
I don't have enough money to day trade (otherwise I definitely would). I picked up a few grand worth of both GERN and STEM at the end of the day...

Oh, you're such a manly he-man. I wanna have your children.

So should I keep it (the short position) and wait then?
I'm new to this and mostly paper trading at the moment (or swing-trading relatively small amounts). So... I'm shorting BAC. It was going down just...
I am curious how does this usually happen? Is there an anouncement from the broker? A warning saying the trading will be halted in 5 minutes? 1...
Cheaper stocks require shorter movement to produce more profit (or loss). Most cheap stocks don't move as much as expensive stocks but C has...
What do you mean? They can just stop trading in a middle of the day? Is that even legal? Do the shares become worth $0 in an instant? How does...
I'm new to trading and still learning. I was wondering if anybody was day trading Citi these past couple of days? How did you figure your...
