STOCK MARKET: Let's talk stocks and investing

TD Ameritrade is buying thinkorswim.

I just hope they don't start charging money for the things TOS provides for free... that would suck. I <3 TOS.

 

Makes sense. I was curious how that worked - it just seems weird that the brokerage would take something out of your cash position.

 

I was thinking about opening a TOS account but I guess I won't have to now. Expect to be answering questions about the TOS platform in the near future

Another Ponzi scheme revealed. Nice that the SEC is all over things now after letting a $50 billion scheme operate under their noses for a decade

 

I got out of DUG today. Not sure what I want to do at this point, so that means nothing at the moment..

 

what do ya'll think DXO will drop to? I've set a limit at $2.50...should it even be lower?

 

Gimme more tools... yipeee...

 

I stupidly got into SSO yesterday late.. I'm still thinking I should just hold through the end of the week to get off today's drop.. but we'll see..

 

ok I lied, got out around the mini-peak around 2:45 pm and just decided to eat the loss..

 

I got in SSO in November 2008 at $29.85. Haven't sold anything yet.

 

I've been lucky and riding a short wave right now on some energy stocks. I don't feel knowledgeable in any of the choices I've made. Just lucky. But I'll take it.

 

My short-side accumulation read did better than I imagined. I just cashed those in and now am actually looking to buy one of the more stable financials for a short-term bounce.

 

My uneducated guess says it goes down a couple more days. But I could be crying in a few days.

 

If those who had sold short buy some to cover, we could rise a bit over the next few days. Not expecting anything significant in terms of a rally.

 

Interesting... AAPL shares halted in afterhours.

 

Earnings announcement?

 

Apparently Jobs is stepping down as CEO!!! Focusing on his health. Holy crap!

*EDIT* : Apparently he's stepping down until June at least.

 

AAPL trading halted after hours. Steve Jobs taking a medical leave until end of June.

 

Dangit I knew I should have shorted AAPL while I had the chance. They are going to murder that stock.

That's OK. I'm perfectly content still sitting on the sidelines.
