Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Anyone know how to get on the Facebook IPO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Anyone know how to get on the Facebook IPO? They haven't filed an S-1... so there is no IPO yet, just speculation. When it does happen, to even have a chance you will need an account at a huge firm and have a bunch of assets with them and be a regular trader. So many people will want in on the actual IPO and very very few will actually have an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 To further explain. Any joe shmoe with an Ameritrade account (or the likes) will be able to buy it in the open market shortly after the IPO, but expect to pay at least a 30% premium over what it actually IPOs at.

starkmaster03 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 ahah yeah C is a joke. I have some faith in BAC very long term wise. this market has to chop back down, ive made so much $ the last 6 months real funds and pros have to be raking soooooo hard. I just sold a lot of BAC after it has gone up $2 a share over the past month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 My ASIA stock has gone up about $3 within the last week. I'm holding on another week and see what happen. Anyone trade currency here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 So, I'm looking to get into the stock market, and I'd likely be doing a lot of day trades for quick flips. Any recommendations for which website I should open an account with? I'd be investing ~$3000 to start, if it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for which website I should open an account with? I'd be investing ~$3000 to start, if it matters. I would have a hard time making a profit on $3k with commissions and such day-to-day. I've been with Etrade forever and they've never given me problems. Their commissions are high for what you want to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for which website I should open an account with? I'd be investing ~$3000 to start, if it matters. Scottrade is $7 per trade, so $14 to buy and then sell. You need to buy a lot of shares to spread that out. Example: $3,000 will buy you 6 shares of Apple stock (@$455). The stock price would have to move $2.34 just to break even on the commission. $3,000 will buy 1351 shares of Sprint (@2.22). The stock price would have to move $0.0104 to break even on the commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are 5 people on this entire site with the means to get in on this I would be surprised.

Tractor Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I use scottrade and do a lot of trades with amounts less than 10K. Your right $14 in/out. They've never given me a problem. There is a little disadvantage to trading with $3K, when you do a buy then sell it takes a couple days for the funds to settle and you also can't go in/out/in/out on the same stocks in the same week or you can get flagged as a day trader and will need much more money to keep a liquid asset to continue trading. One way around this is to set up mutiple accounts if you really get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief2011647545501 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 interactive brokers is good for starting out investing a friend and I started a investment advisory awhile back and they only charged a 1/2 penny a share. With 3k though you cant become a pattern day trader so be careful and know what you're getting into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 So, in addition to still stocking away the majority of my new funds into more BRK I decided that I wanted to have a little fun this morning when I was on my account so I purchased some Dryships Inc. (DRYS) at 2.16 per share. Anybody have any opinions on my gamble? I only got like 1000 shares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do round multiple round trips on stocks, you can get around it by opening a margin acct though. market is popping in premarket today with good job numbers. crazy to see this market run from 08 lows to damn near 13000 today. I am pissed. I pulled all my money out a week ago to make someone a huge personal loan. I am making sick interest, but probably not what I would have been making on Transocean and Alcoa alone.

coltboostin Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Whats the speculative buy right now for you guys? I am all out at the moment and hesitant to jump in with the market this high (artificially if you ask me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Whats the speculative buy right now for you guys? I am all out at the moment and hesitant to jump in with the market this high (artificially if you ask me) ive just been letting my longs ride, im with you it is tough to put anything in long right now with the market being so high. but i really think this rally will extend itself even further. Im watching a bunch of stocks to short once I feel they are well over priced. im short lulu and gme right now if you want to hop in now i think BAC has room left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
