BTW, what do you guys think about this fees structure for a new brokerage that I was been introduced to (Halifax Investment Services Ltd based in Australia)?

1. US Shares & CFDs: USD0.022 per share (min USD2.75 per trade)
2. Margin account min funding = USD2,000
3. Account balance < USD 1,000 will incur an account keeping fee of USD1.00 per calendar month

I know it's foolish to decide on a brokerage based on the fees / commission alone but it's definitely tempting when most of the offshore brokerages available (not taking into account IB of course) charge at least USD5 - USD10 per trade.

the shale boys are back.

but wti is holding around 52.

BREAKING: Oil prices extend losses as US crude inventories rise by 13.8 million barrels, far more than expected

haha, yes. the US oil guys been waiting for too long to seek revival and its time when crude hits52+. i hope crude can get back to <50.

I took a bite tonight when it's dips below 52, I think it worth a shot here with the bearish API numbers.
It is still range bound between 50-55 here. Going to try to sell it when it gets to 54 again.

US initial jobless claims 234k vs 250k exp

GILD @ 65, getting closer to 3% yield.

That's lowest weekly I've seen. Next month UE could be lower... and inflation coming for US. Gotta to watch for Fed move for interest rate again next month. More money being repatriated back to US soon..

SP500 broke above 2300... very bullish!! BUY BUY BUY!

bullish....

$NVDA beats earning handsomely! Revenue up 55% YOY while EPS up 117% YoY. I wonder how green tonight's gonna be.

NVDA chart is really scary.. but I guess it will continue to go up until everybody is in.

Same goes to $AMD's chart, I presume? Both $AMD & $NVDA's 2y chart appears to be ripe for correction.

Sweet.... Oil got back above $53. Fingers ready on the sell button... need to take a bit off for the weekend.

how far could this bull run goes? wondering...

can... can go higher.

small addition, wti will go up again.

BREAKING: Oil holds gains as Baker Hughes reports US drillers added 8 rigs in latest week

Despite somewhat should be bearish news with additional rigs, it just continues higher..
It has hit $54 again..I've just cashed out for the weekend.

GILD bouncing... if some of you are still watching this!

Oil retreating again, as expected. As always.. once it touches 54.. it backs down again.
Looking to see if it can touch low 51 later to get back in.

bullish bullish, wow....

Not sure if this is the right place, but income from US markets are not taxable by LHDN right? I'm just concerned that I might attract their attention if I repatriate my profits back and not declare it as income since its not taxable anyway. The Trump rally has given me enough to pay off my mortgage and be debt free.
