Added on August 21, 2012, 4:43 pmThe Registration includes a lot of questions and pages of documentation and some of the trading is limited to years of experience.
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)

This the update on AAPL just an hour ago. According to the report, AAPL has a higher chance of winning.

A ban on Samsung will shoot AAPL to another sky high level.

buying it now will get you a $0.30 per common share.
Moreover it is currently close at a 5-days low of 50.04.

What are your thoughts?

Agree, but we as consumers would know the obvious.
Only the jury will be fooled. That is why I say a higher chance of winning.

But Samsung defense is, I hereby quote-unquote:
"Rather than competing in the marketplace,
Apple is seeking a competitive edge in the courtroom," Verhoeven said.
"(Apple thinks) it's entitled to having a monopoly on a rounded rectangle with a large screen. It's amazing really."

So by saying this, My LG television does look similar to my Sony TV

Added on August 22, 2012, 9:50 pmYesterday Coach Inc close @ 54.83. If you bought it and can hold till after 6th September, it means you bought the share value of 54.53 at that point.
1month high is at 62.
3 month high is at 70.
Low at 48.

I think some people have said J2T has horrible uptime, response and bad customer service. Unfortunately, I don't know if true since I don't use 'em.

Depending on how often and size of your trade... certain commissions plan (eg. from MBTrading) can be worth it.
Eg. MBT just charge me $1 for each 100 shares to trade. But, if you've large volume, look for flat-rate prices (eg. TDAmeritrade.. $10 commission for 1million shares in a single transaction )

Which platform do you use?

Added on September 24, 2012, 9:01 pmOh well, have u heard of a teen in China who would go all the way to SELL HIS KIDNEYS to get an Iphone?
I doubt its about how good the phone is anymore, its the Brand.

Moreover, from a marketing point of view, the best marketing strategy is people talking,
I myself wouldnt go to an extend in comparing inches of detail from different phones, but oh well, why go against the trend when you can make money out of it? c:

S&P is about to hit the 1 month support level, will it bounce back? Or will it be a dead cat bounce?

Edit: New Home Sales hits 373K , forecast was 381K.. Gone case! Its a red light! time to short

I manage to Long @ 1431, bulls away!
Collecting profit @ 1450,
invest 14.31, gain 20 dollars. over 100% return! *fingers crossed*

AAPL shoots up to 667.. from 660 ..
Didnt manage to enter!! ARGH!!

Added on September 28, 2012, 10:02 pmDROP AGAIN !! OMG !! $ $ $ $ $
Triggered my stop loss. time to buy again.

Saw the triple bottom pattern at 1436.00 and BOOM! all the way to 1444.44

Too bad I sold everything @ 1450.. Argh.. Dunno should be happy or sad. Aiyoh..

Where to listen to Fed Talk Live online?

I couldnt agree more. Even their forecast is lowest this year. only 8.88% EPS
Even if it hits 9%, the price most probably will adjust to $600.

During Q3 which EPS estimate was 10.37, and actual was 9.32 on 24th July, share price drop from $600 to $574 due to below estimate.

I would agree that it is a good time to short it for short term profit till 25 OCT (earnings report)
However I do not short good stocks Would stay in the sidelines.

Added on October 10, 2012, 10:26 amGuys . Relax, I believe we all have our strategies . Looking at both of your argument, both of you are using different strategies to rake profit.

Maybe AAPL will reach another all time high in Feb.

But based on a chart analysis in these few weeks, AAPL is not doing very good. it has gone below the 20mVa line and I am looking for a further downtrend . The next support level is $615. Hopefully I can get some $$ out of here.
