Why are buys and short sells a minimum price of 50 cents ?
Wed, Aug 25, 2010, 3:03:47 AM (30 views) posted by: Aryxelectronics

I have been holding some depreciating stocks for quite a while now. It is now that this company is restructuring, but I cannot purchase any more stock in the company. I have been losing money in this pick and now when the opportunity to replinish my losses appears I cannot.

Just my two cents about placing minimun purchase and short sell numbers. Maybe the powers that be could determine the possibility of no minimums depending on the specific user.

Thank you,

Dual Account Strategy
Wed, Aug 18, 2010, 8:43:52 AM (101 views) posted by: theSL

I haven't tried this one but I do see many investors here do this and it is a problem you encounter on all free trading sites.

All you do is open two accounts. One account you do your long picks. The other account you short the same picks. One of these accounts will go way up and you will look like a genius. The other one, no one will know about.

I see some traders do this and the funny thing is you will see them as one of the Top10 for the day with $7,000 profit. Then their op ... (more)

Penny Stock play - DIET
Wed, Aug 18, 2010, 8:36:40 AM (39 views) posted by: mad_thomas

Ediets.com is a miniature more gourmet, more expensive
version of Nutrisystem.
During their earnings call yesterday, Ediets announced that
they have a new partnership with NBC Uni for the show The Biggest Loser.
The company will be marketing meals and diet plans using the show's
name. Ediets will be featured prominently on an entire show
in October. Former 'Biggest Losers' will be pushing their meals, too.

Here's the delay bug.
Fri, Aug 06, 2010, 3:09:14 PM (104 views) posted by: theSL

This bug I call the "delay bug" and maybe I'm not sure how the software here works. Any others observance on this please post.

Let's say I want to buy ABC and it is currently at $10. I put in an order to buy.

Now I understand that this site uses a 20 minute delay. So if you buy now your order is not executed for 20 minutes.

What I thought should happen is that you should get the price the stock was at when you placed it, eventhough the trade is not placed in the databa ... (more)

IVAC and the $10 level
Sat, Jul 31, 2010, 4:47:04 PM (41 views) posted by: mad_thomas

Intervac announces 2Q earnings after the close Monday. Their
baby is the 200 Lean System. When they announced 1Q
earnings in May, they had orders for and a backlog of 26
of these systems. If someone would call Chip in Shipping at IVAC,
we would probably know if they will meet or exceed top line
estimates. IVAC is having a good year but they have not
announced on their website a new order for the 200 Lean since
March. Would guess they are backlogged somewhere in t ... (more)

New Trader Warning
Fri, Jul 30, 2010, 4:27:42 PM (85 views) posted by: theSL

If you are new to Top10Traders (like I am only been here a couple months) I wanted to alert you to a bug you will encounter here that will distort all the returns here. If you can take advantage of them you can inflate your returns here.

The first one is probably the biggest bug that I have found. Top10Traders does not know how to handle reverse stock splits (and maybe can't handle regular splits). If you read in the news of a stock doing a reverse split, buy it quickly and you can mult ... (more)

Real money in the real world at open Thursday?
Wed, Jul 21, 2010, 4:52:32 PM (62 views) posted by: mad_thomas

EW reported earnings after the close today. There was zero
in the report to suggest keeping it near a 52-week high when
it opens tomorrow. If it opens above 56, put a few
bones immediately into some August 50 puts. Methinks
someone is on both sides of those trades in EW after hours.
Cheers!

Greed is Good
Wed, Jul 07, 2010, 3:06:18 PM (94 views) posted by: GordonGekkoWallStreet1985

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

Teetering on the brink
Thu, Jul 01, 2010, 11:08:46 AM (80 views) posted by: Meatloaf

After a brief morning of all the wrong moves (it builds character),
the focus is on tomorrow morning's jobs number. Let the cards
play out today and go long on the close. If the number is not
at least neutral, the S & P goes below 950 within two days. Guessing
that no matter what the real number may be, it will be made neutral
and revised later. It matters that much right now. Hold onto your hats...

Yes, my *Original Account* is Diog, and Diognewmen 2nd.

Shorting the FAS would have been Much Smarter an Idea back over a Month Ago, when it was Above $100/Share.

Contrarian Oil Driller Play
Fri, May 28, 2010, 9:39:37 PM (124 views) posted by: CarloLacetti

As we all know oil services have been hammered with the recent BP,RIG,Halli,Cameron fiasco. They all look great on a purely valuation call...., but youd probably be a fool to go anywhere near most of them. However, take a look at Noble Corp. (NE) They have a 5 P/E.....yes a 5! Their earnings are very stable, and their balance sheet is one of the best in the drilling industry, AND better yet over 95% of their exposure is outside the gulf.

ACON,

I am trying to learn to invest and figured practicing would be a great tool for me. My problem is when it comes to numbers, and money lingo (finance, dividend, APY) it is way over my head and I get so lost. I am looking for someone(s) who would be able to break this down for my barney style. Just so I can learn the basics. I am looking at other places online, talking to people, and reading books, but like I said it is way over my head.

TBUS earnings announcement postponement

Cannot seem to commit to a stock that, however tiny, looks interesting.
Noticed that they were supposed to announce earnings earlier this month.
Called their office and was told that they had filed a fifteen day extension
on announcing. The extension is up 4/15.
An interesting comment at the end of that was that there
was no further information at this time, or words to that effect.
Does anyone have specific examples of postponed earnings announcements

My Account on here is Worth over 133k, and Yet it Isn't in the Top 10 Most Valuable Accounts.
There are guys with just over $120k that are On that List! Somethings wrong, cause I should be on there.
Eventhough Fund.com dropped. Heck, I own 47k Shares of ESPH.OB, and if you Check THAT Stock Out, you Will Probably BUY it!! ;^)

Tue, Mar 16, 2010, 12:58:50 PM (213 views) posted by: essential_e

I managed to beat some 8300 traders in my first month using the site. My strategy was simple, did some homework on a company I've been following, and then invested big! After I purchased the trades I didn't touch the site until the rankings came out and I averaged a return of over 4.5%. Not horrible for my first ever trade.

Learn about a company, fast - corporate presentations
Tue, Mar 09, 2010, 4:18:47 PM (248 views) posted by: barry

If you really want to understand a company, you need to read through the quarterly reports and listen to the quarterly conference calls. This can be very time consuming. So before you make this investment of your time and energy, I find the presentations that executives make at investment conferences to be very informative. You can go through the powerpoint presentation in around 10 minutes. It is a good way to get a quick overview of the company. Then, if you like what you see, you can go ... (more)
