SIRI 1/4/2013 - Another Day, Another Dollar

[Bravo863]

Thanks for the info Denco. I have been thinking about getting a second account anyways. Do they charge you more for trading at those times?

Thanks Guys!!

Glad you sold a few RC

I use Etrade primarily and Scottrade as well BRVO863. With Scottrade early PM trading has always been available. Etrade just 2 weeks ago went to 6:00 a.m central as well.

denco - use Scottrade as well... and have a question regarding PM trades. Can you set a GTC PM or AH trade with it? I don't believe you can.

Scottrade does not charge extra or very little differnce, within a $1 or so. Etrade does charge more than their set rate per trade. You pay .005 per share on SIRI trades AH or PM. So, if you sell 10k shares in AH or PM you pay 1/2 a cent per share or in this case $50. At first that was a big negative to me but on a nice gap of 5-10 cents its not a big deal.

I have etrade and scottrade as well. i prefer etrade. I find etrade easier to pick what lots of shares i want to sell. it is not as easy in scottrade. in fact i still haven't figured it out.

I don't think so Yoda. It is only good for duration of that AH or PM session.

I've been quite pleased with TD Ameritrade for about 10 years now. I think their trade commission ($10.99) might be a little higher than some of the other online brokers, but there is absolutely no premium charge for AH or PM, and no limit on block size for that same fee. I use a lot of GTC plus extended hours trades and have traded right up to 8pm eastern. I frankly can't recall a trade executing prior to market opening, so cannot attest to just how early one can trade there. I will say also that they have excellent customer service, and their offerings of tracking and trading tools is second to none. Here is just one example, and apparently it is one of the few services offering free Level II:

EDIT: Just trying to stir the pot a little on a feel good Friday

Sorry Bass, you know I ain't lurkin I did have to hit the shower tho, long night last night then had to get up early. Took a vacation day, so I had to get me sleepin late in. I'm rolling now tho!!! But got one of my rides I've been putting off working on that I got see about today. I'll check back later...

so what re-entry points are people looking to get back in after selling?

I prefer Etrade as well. Scottrade does not allow margin on SIRI which is another reason I use Etrade primarily for my trading.

Red, I can't say I ever heard anyone talk about his date like that. What would she say if she saw this post?
