What can you do with 10K in 3 months?

[Snatch Napkin]

I just looked up short selling to see what you were talking about, and I don't believe I would risk it. Maybe if I had a lot more money to play with, but definitely not with just $10k.

Curious how many of you shorting stocks would do the same if it were real money?

Why do you wonder that... Just margin in general?

[talisman]

I wonder if justinsn95 has wondered about it yet?

Shorting stocks is a gamble, much more than just buying a stock and watching the price drop. It's one thing to take such a huge risk with fake money, but completely different when it's your ass on the line.

Watching it go up is the risk... I assume you're talking about longs being bound by zero.

Waiting on some earnings, huh?

Alcoa went limp.

Alright, I am confused. I thought I read somewhere that the Europe bailout package didn't get voted. I figured that would make for another bad day in Europe, but they are up?

I am not complaining by any means, though.

As for the earnings, IR already made a preannouncement so I hope their shareholders are done with the "knee jerk reaction" when the earnings are actually released.

No earnings really but another acquisition.

Can someone tell me what the difference in these two are? Yesterday the website hung up on me and I wound up doubling my order. Now I'm wondering if I bought into the wrong stocks.

They are both from Glaxo-smithkline and their trade letters are GSK and GLAXF.

Glaxo has 14 different classes of shares, lmao. The GLAXF is a pink sheet, the GSK is the ADR ... Use the GSK.

You're still speaking Greek to me. What is a pink sheet? In my world, that's what we give the customer after I've finished a warranty job.

I ended up selling it off and jumping on the late bandwagon for Apple. I knew I should have picked it up at $389/share.

Shares that can't meet the requirements to trade on a major exchange end up on the pink sheets. All the little penny bullshit, that blockbuster fucking disaster a couple weeks ago where amateurs dove in it thinking it was the blockbuster company, etc...all pink sheets. ADR stands for american depository receipts, the way intl companies have their shares listed on major exchanges. The shares of adrs will be the most reliable, liquid, etc.
