You asked this on 9/19/08. I don't know if I ever responded. With the way this thread was moving back then, I may have missed it. To answer your question about 1.5 years late, I like it, but then I'm not a daytrader or anything. I use it because I can put all my IRA's and trading account in one place. They have good research tools, too. They have a 3rd party API you can download and create your own tools with if you want, as well. People have also made iPhone apps for TDAmeritrade if you want to trade that way. They have some automated trading tools you can use - I can't vouch for them as I only casually looked at them. Having worked in the industry at a couple of companies that make those tools and having dealt with the exchanges, I don't trust them. :grin:
I bought AA a while ago. It was doing awesome then it tanked back to Zero for me. I'm waiting to see how the CPI report fares tomorrow but I'm leaning towards doubling down on AA in the morning.
hey fellas, Looking at the charts on dow and it appears market is getting to the overbought stage for the weekly charts....Market has marginally broke out, but can still have breakpoint failure....How do ya feel? I cashed out all my positions such as GS, AAPL, TLT, SCCO, GLD....all options.....and waiting until market is oversold again.....And do ya think Sugar (SGG) is done free falling?

I bought UNG at 7.51... stopped out at 7.29... might buy back if trend reverses.. for now.. wait for a bottom..
What constitutes a bottom? Is it a specific price you're already waiting for or a pattern in the graphs?
it's all speculation on the investor's part. when a stock has lost 80% of it's value, it's easy to think this is the bottom. then a month later, it's lost 85%, this must it! another month goes by, it's 90%. it can't possibly get any lower, can it? and as for patterns, i'll go swoly D on that.
Apple has a larger market cap than ibm by 50billion. Yet IBM generates twice as much cash as apple. Is IBM undervalued or is apple overvalued?
It could be neither. It could be that IBM is simply bigger now and Apple is growing its profits faster going forward.
I can't believe AAPL is approaching $250 is fast as it is. I was able to get in below $180, albeit only a handful of shares. UNG is now below $7...so tempting to buy, but I'll wait.
For those of you playing around with UNG, be sure you understand that it doesn't actually track the price of natural gas, if that's your goal. For example: Nat Gas, July 2008: nearly $14 Nat Gas, Mar 2009: around $3.95 Nas Gas, today: around $3.95 UNG, July 2008: $60 UNG, Mar 2009: $15 UNG, Today: $7
