Liquidated all stocks.
Holding cash for now.

Q buy FB at $15 x 2,500

FB will go lower in november......

recently, didnt hear vincent tan brags bout his FB shares.........

Yup! This week, FB got the lockup freed up.. more shares released by the early holders.
In November, we got 1.2 bln shares locked up to be released.
Might was well short all the way down to $15. If $15 this indeed becomes attractive again.

GRPN is another beautiful short play..


LVS - looking good again. All punishment during bad quarter seems to have been forgotten.

I have swapped 20% of my AAPL 2014 LEAPS with some near term calls. Am adamant that the iphone 5 launch will be a strong catalyst to push the share price up in the near term. Not to mention Ipad mini and also the iphone 5 contract with China Mobile. AAPL 2013 Q1 earning is going to be huge. Looks like $700 is coming sooner than I think.

Hello,

Can anyone share the brokers you use for US stocks?

just 60$ away, which is not impossible.

I guys, I've one question. I heard from a friend that CIMB Singapore's itrade is able to trade US options and stocks. Is this recommended?

If you're not a frequent trader.. then go ahead otherwise a lot of folks here will recommend you to open a direct brokerage account with US because the fees and commissions are cheaper and you can day trade if you want.

Anyway, tonight.. watching LVS and MPEL again.. nice nice nice.. surging above the resistance line.
market pulling back..but this two beasts going up.

yea, MPEL and LVS are enjoying the party. Grr.
anyway sold both and waiting to enter in September.

Hello,

Can anyone share how do I start buying US stocks?
Any websites? For bursa I have banks offering these programs, but anyone on US Stocks?

www.interactivebrokers.com

Try this

Just two more weeks away.. everyone waiting for the pull back but it could be anytime now.
I think they're going to brew up some horrible news from Europe to bring it back down.

Which platforms are mostly use by forumers here?

I would like to know too, please assist.

How does one start US stock market trading? At first I thought you just need the money to begin with.. Its not so simple is it?
I remembered playing "UMO" and made some bucks from it and got myself interested in US stock trading.

Does anyone have some serious guideline on how to start? (which includes but not limited to professional consultation, to begin with)

Fill up all the form and you are good to go. All over the internet. Dont have to mail any hardcopy. If you cant handle filling all these forms, i suggest you not to invest in share market. Share market takes a lot of time for researching and learning. Mutual Funds would suit you better.

Added on August 21, 2012, 4:56 pmUsually I use the mobile application on iPad. Simple and easy to execute orders. If i need to use options strategy then will need the standalone software on mac. it depends on which you are comfortable with and what you need.

I don't have ipad and mac. How?

use mobile phone/tablet for mobile apps, or pc for standalone software/web trader

sup everyone,just curious

when u play shorts, i assume u bet on options?

There are many online brokers such as OptionsHouse, E*Trade, Fidelity etc, but I hv been using Just2trade and so far it serves its purpose of providing a low-cost (USD2.5 per transaction) platform for experienced traders.

You can either short commons, buy puts or write calls.
