wanna ask, why us stock buy qty n sell qty very little such as 0.5 or 0.6 something , not as buy qty in KLCI many thousand volume? IF i want to buy US share ,for example the share price is 3USD, i want to buy 1000 share,so need how to place the orders,don think is place 1000 right?

Thinking of shorting EUO (ETF).

Where did you see 0.5 or 0.6 quantity? I've not see fractional number of shares like this.

If you wish to buy 1000 shares, just enter 1000.

Unloaded some of my FXP at 43.50 yesterday, made USD 400

Bought C at 4.27 and TCK at 36.40 after-hours

Wonder if it's gonna yo-yo back tonight? Or maybe Friday might be the 'BIG' yo yo (Job's report for April)

We call it straight. Lot is a useless number for international traders. No such thing for 'em.

We say SHORT/LONG 300 shares or 1,000. When place order, key in 1,000 not 1 or 10.

1,000 x 3.00 = 3,000USD + charges

Friday got job report and German bill voting for the aid package Gonna be a MAJOR EVENTFUL DAY either way

Good for you.. believe or not, I'm still holding on my FXP, hedging against XPP (big red now).
I'll have to average down on XPP, waiting for signal that HKSE/China may bottom. It hasn't yet.
Got some TCK to average down as well. Goodness, it has been beaten lately but I glad it finally came to 50MA. Managed to nip some ERX to play along. The Dow/SPX finally making a correction. I think we're not done yet. We may bounce up tonight but need to see if Friday numbers are good or not.

Yeah, I sold off 2/3 of my FXP, still holding 1/3 left as I believe just like you that HKSE/China has yet to stop sliding and hit its bottom.

Gotta really thank ya for introducing TCK into this forum, made quite a bit from that particular counter Cheers man!

For ING/LYG traders out there (apart from me)

1. Belgian-Dutch insurer Fortis, for example, holds $5.4 billion in Greek government debt—and $4.1 billion of Portuguese government debt, according to bank statements and public documents

2. Europe's banks aren't saying how much in vulnerable debt they hold overall, but it adds up. The banks' exposure to Portugal comes to $240 billion; exposure to Spanish debt is another $832 billion

3. On Apr. 27, the day S&P downgraded Greek debt, shares in London-based Lloyds Banking Group (LYG) slid 8%. Yesterday, hit another downwards in wake of Greece issue.

4. Europe's banks and insurers hold some $193 billion in Greek debt.

5. Commerzbank and ING (ING) each hold $3.9 billion in Greek government debt. Writing off 50% of that would hurt, but it wouldn't send a major European banking institution toppling

Nice.. just another leg down today.

Dollar spikes, VIX up, Oil down.., more downgrades on European countries coming
Bears roaming again.

My game plan tonight: safe to short till SPX 1150.

I wonder why PPT has done a thing.....yet

PPT says we need another week of down. Not enough yet.
They'll come and become heroes later.. perhaps late Friday evening or early next week.

Update 10pm
Bought another batch of TCK @ 34, STEC dropped to 12.50, Q to buy @ 12.65 got hit.

Wow, didn't manage to catch STEC at 12.50's - busy eating as well as C below 4.05.

TCK another leg up, almost USD2.00

Just waiting to scoop up C.
Gonna hold out a little while longer as I believe it'll break 4 soon.

Wow... we barely touch SPX 1150.. those PPT computers already kicked in to buy back some of the market.
Man.. they're fast.

Most of the trading is done by computers anyway. Most of the investors were already burned in the previous crash and are probably holding cash or waiting for their stocks to recover.

haha dow from negative now miracle again =.=!
