Hope you provided for taxes on those gains for last year. How much are you willing to pay?
Below is the expected rate of growth of balance on my account to attain the target of 500K, starting from the 76K at the start of the thread...
At this rate, you only need two more months to your target! Could make an interesting case for a risk/reward study
In general I can use a maximum of 90% of account value for an intra-day trade. Overnight positions are somewhat less. Even then it depends on the...
Weekly Update for week ended 4/6/2007 Just checked back on DNDN, and it was reading a close of $18.05. If I had stayed on with my trade of last...
Is this treated like a USD account in a foreign bank, or an account in a US bank? I mean can you do ACH transfer from another US bank? It appears...
Yes the CPA is right. If you claimed only $3000 in 2005 against your other income, then the remaining $21000 carried forward can be claimed...
you "graduated" from Ameritrade? I thought that meant a move down! Commissionwise, I find it cheaper to trade at Ameritrade based on my size than...
Yes, I agree the DNDN trade was a bit "crazy". I initially intended to short a little of the stock, there were no shares available. So there I was...
There is no charge at Ameritrade. It is silly. If they want the option market to be liquid, people should be encouraged to participate, and not...
Weekly Update for week ended 3/30/2007 Glad to report a very good week, bordering on spectacular, even without a remarkable trade. One trade...
This is a sad story on indiscriminate outsourcing. Etrade seems to place profitability above trust and protecting the assets of their clients. The...
From $0.10 to $47 in 27 years. Not accounting for dividends, that is 25% annualised. That is not so impressive for a day/swing-trader like the...
Weekly Update Correction for last week's report: Total profitable trades is 18 and not 16 as previously reported. Very good week, though not...
I think we should discuss on the merits of the case. I believe it is sheer discrimination, just because the SEC wants to give an appearance it is...
OK, look at it this way. To hit 500K at year end, assuming no withdrawals, I need to make just less than 5% a week. (we are talking compounded)....
RIDICULOUS you are thinking this way. I showed you my record for 2005. Why do you think it is impossible? That you have never achieved that does...
Actually, the best trade was also on LEND. Friday pre-market got in at 11.30 and got out 3 minutes later at 12.80 for a gain of nearly 5K, before...
Update for Week 3 ended 3/9/2007 ----------------------------------- Sigh of relief. Good week after the disaster that was last week. Did any...
Yes, you got it. I pyramided on a loss, and got roasted.
