Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
Eli, please respond to conversation thread re: after-hours trading. I am afrraid there is some misinformation in the well meaning responses to pilar and I may be misinformed as well. My understanding is that there is after hours trading occurring here (U.S.) and not just in global markets. I have been caught out in the cold when after hours earnings triggered after hours losses to this market. My research shows that mostly large institutions make block sells or buys by participating in after hours trades that are legally open to individual investors, but by ways not known to many of us. Thank you. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
This would be more useful if it arrived before the market open! Yes, otherwise excellent.... ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
E trade will establish a global trading account for any customer. But you will find that transferring money in and out costs you about 2.5% in exchange fees plus a 20 buck commission at minimum on trades. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]

Pilar:Contact E-Trade directly to see what you need to do to have them allow you to trade in the overseas markets. THEY are your one and only reliable source of good information. Anyone else's views/opinions/advice are worth what you pay for them.. i.e. Nothing.
go out to Etrade.com and search for Overseas trading or send them an email asking about it.
(P.S. this advice also cost you nothing.)

Interesting counter to Moffett's opinion, this one based on facts:www.247wallst.com/2008...

To Pilar:Except for the relatively few items being traded on multiple markets, stocks don't really "move" after extended trading hours. It is simply a case of supply and demand. Let's say a stock ends the day at $10 per share. After trading stops, let's assume some very bad news is published about the company. The next morning, when trading begins, no one in their right mind would enter a bid for $10. The best bid might be for $5, so that the first trade of the day was $5. The stock did not move overnight from $10 to $5. You did not lose out on a chance to trade on the way down after the news was released. There were simply no buyers as the price dropped from $10 to $5.
After saying that, there are some private markets (i.e., those used by larger institutions) that may be in after-market trading, but I am not sure that is the case. Regardless, the same rules apply -- the price does not move around in a linear fashion -- it jumps around based on available buyers and sellers.
A good example of where this can hurt you is with a stop loss price. Let's say you own a stock trading at $10. You want to protect yourself from any major losses, so you put in a stop loss order for $8. However, some bad news is released such that all buyers reduce their bids to $5 or less. Unless your broker was kind enough to "guarantee" your stop loss order (highly unlikely), your stop loss would be forced to sell at $5 because there are no available buyers at $8. The price jumped from $10 to $5 instantly.
This is one of the reasons businesses make announcements after trading stops. It allows all shareholders and potential investors equal access to information, so that the share price can adjust appropriately and the market open at a fair price given the new information. Reply

This is a meaningful start for the morning of markets. I have been upset for many years about excessive leverage and short sellers. Especially when we all know that noone knows who is doing it and how much is done. We need transparency at least and regulators who believe in free markets, not greedy markets.

1. deaverb, I totally agree with heaping praise on Eli. He is one of my first-thing-in-the-mor... reads, every day. Thank you, Eli.2. pilar, although I have not done it, I believe most brokerages allow pre-market trading. Like pilar, I would be very interested in hearing comments about experiences with e-trade's foreign trading capabilities. Thanks. Reply

Eli does it again, as always. I feel like Johnny One Note, but fear someone will get Eli to do something different. A wonderful way to start the day being put in the picture, especially the short stories and EPS reports (well, that's about everything; so I guess I like everything). ReplyBaltimore

THIS IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED, BUT CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MAKES STOCK PRICES MOVE PRIOR TO THE PRE-MARKET OPEN ?(BEFORE 8 A.M.) ARE PRICE CHANGES COMING FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES? AND, IS THERE ANY WAY ( FOR ME OR YOU )TO TRADE AT 7 A.M.? USING, SAY, E TRADE, WHICH ALLOWS SOME FOREIGN EXCHANGE BUSINESS? ReplyFiOS, Cellular Won't Save Verizon - Sanford Bernstein [view article]
Seems to me that Craig Moffett either lacks vision or has an agenda that benefits by a market perception of Verizon being way out in left field of corporate success.Many investors likely look at Verizon as a utility company, and it is. But more importantly to invertors it is also a growth company. Building out its fiber optic network will benefit Verizon now and is taking the company into the future. What does science have that replaces the benefits of light. I doubt there is anything commercially viable in the foreseeable future. Meaning that fiber optics is the "NOW" and the " FUTURE". The future is going to put demands on networks that only fiber optics can fully accommodate. Copper and coaxial systems are going to become old technology that just won't keep pace with the ever increasing needs of future technologies and services. AT&T had announced to the investing community that they would continue to get the most out of their copper network. This is what Craig Moffett embraces.... What a head in the sand analyst he makes himself out to be.
Reports such as this one from Craig Moffett might sway investors, who lack understanding of technologies, briefly to a negative stance... but long term, Verizon's investment into building it's nation wide fiber optic network is creating a mega communications company leaving its competitors to old technology that will prove to be under competitive and the least prosperous.

I think FiOS with fiber "to the house" will revolutionize home media across the nation. Verizon enjoys the best customer satisfaction and reliability in the cell phone business. These are some of the reasons I hold the stock as a telcom pick. This is a perfect time for asute investors to become shareholders. Reply
