I watched the FB crazyness for a while. back to work for me now. option expiration day. Gonna talk to the Lightspeed folks Monday, you don't use them do you?? Trying to gain some feedback. I watched an option webinar they hold ever once in a while. Good webinar, but way to basic for "traders", more geared towards the newbies. My wife wants to put inground sprinklers in this year. Gonna try to hold her off one....more.....year....lol
No lightspeed for me. I use Green Mountain through Echotrade. Good luck with the sprinkler discussion. Hopefully it rains soon so you can hold her off for a while.
No one can predict how incompetent RIMM has become. This is a technology company that keeps delaying its technology. You cannot compete if you don't introduce the next model.
Good idea. yes it's been a while. RIMM has been good to me, but I haven't traded it in a couple of months. Have a good weekend Bob
I can not agree with you more. Even if the do kick 10 out the door anytime soon. It's not likely they are going to have the ecosphere for app development. Still, RIMM is trading for not much more than cash Bob
RIMM's performance today was less than inspirational. I am testing out some new brokers. My account was setup today for the first account I have started in ten years. Will report how it goes. Zynga reports next week. I wrote about it and I will likely position long Monday as well.
Opened an account with Suretrader last week, it's an offshore firm operated by a person named Guy Gentile. They appeared to have attractive commissions (negotiated) and affiliate program. I am no longer so sure as it looks like maybe they made some mistakes. I made a few trades. I faded PCS yesterday and made about .33 and went long ACOM and carried overnight. I also carried ACOM long overnight. That worked out well too. There has been a few bumps along the way. First in the setup process, and then in the funding process. I ran into another issue with commissions/costs that I am waiting to have resolved. It may be a result of a simple level of confusion as a result of a new firm, and I will report back my results. Hopefully they do the right thing
You may want to try and withdraw some money and see how it goes. I guess I am not understanding of why you or anyone else goes offshore for brokerage services. Be careful, and I hope you didn't put alot of money out there.
